 The
restaurant business can be brutal.
Of course, business management of any kind has never been
easy, but the foodservice industry offers a unique set of
challenges. Managing guest relations and keeping an eye
on product quality can be a never-ending battle. Maintaining
staffing levels and providing adequate training can be a
test of even the most seasoned management professional's
patience.
And then there is that constant attack on your profit margins.
'Brutal' doesn't even begin to describe what the 'margin
gremlins' can do to your operation's profitability. Portioning,
wastage, shrinkage, overtime, and cash accountability can
all attack your bottom line. And what was it that your competition
did this week to put "butts in chairs," anyway?
Weren't those 'butts' in your chairs last week?
For decades the foodservice industry has relied on the
control offered by POS (point of sale) to ensure bottom
line performance. Emerging technologies, when paired with
policy and procedure, have long been proven to increase
profit margins.
Recognizing the industry's unique needs, hundreds of developers
have spent billions of dollars developing technology products
to address everything from table management and web based
reservation systems, to online ordering for your pick-up
and delivery customers. There has been a virtual explosion
of "solutions" for foodservice professionals ranging
from electronic cash registers and touch screen point of
sale systems, to perpetual inventory and labor management
software products. New, full-color 'order confirmation display
systems', 'kitchen production systems' and even 'interactive
customer display' hardware devices are driving interest
in newly enhanced software functionality. Recent developments
with fully integrated electronic gift card services and
customer loyalty programs are leading the newest wave of
innovation for foodservice POS and information systems VARs
(Value-Added Resellers).
It seems as though a new 'solution' appears almost everyday,
purporting to solve one, or all, of the challenges foodservice
professionals face. It takes a lot of time to sort out feature-sets
and check for compatibility and/or interoperability with
your current systems… not to mention getting your people
trained and ready to adopt the new 'solution.'
You need a partner.
