Modern Software Gives Restaurant Businesses the Lift They Need |
Posted: February 24, 2020 |
Restaurants today face many new challenges, and the industry has always been extremely difficult. Modern changes, like ride-share companies delivering food and even the explosion of food trucks in many cities, have altered the restaurant landscape.
To the rescue is a modern solution: employee scheduling software, which is already helping restaurants across North America. Keep reading to learn more about how it works.
Faster, Better SchedulesTurning to online restaurant scheduling software can reduce the time it takes to create a schedule everyone at your restaurant will love, and do so in up to 80% less time than it would otherwise take. This frees up your employees to spend their time at work where they’re most needed — usually cooking and serving customers.
This efficiency will save your restaurant up to 3% in labor costs right off the bat and make the weekly headaches surrounding schedule creation disappear, but it also produces better schedules. The software is powered by automation, but it takes into account the specific needs of every employee.
Each staff member can relay their availability through the software remotely via their phones. They can request offs this way too, which the manager can then approve remotely. Not only are better schedules created faster, restaurants also get their staffing needs met way sooner in advance.
Keep Everyone ConnectedCommunication in the modern era needs to be efficient and save people time, and employee scheduling software is designed specifically for these aims. The software allows you to configure group chats as needed, so every employee is kept in the know, but no employee ever gets their time wasted.
For example, a one-way messaging feature allows managers to relay simple information to any team or individual employee. Everyone will get the pertinent information they need right away — that time-consuming phenomenon where each employee responds to the thread will never happen.
On the flip side, if dialogue is required, two-way messaging between any employees or teams can be set up easily.
Data at Your FingertipsEmployee scheduling software connects seamlessly to your restaurant’s POS system, so it tracks every single metric your restaurant could need to know. This software creates enterprise-level reports and analyses that every business needs, whether you have a single restaurant or hundreds of locations.
Right out of the box, it’s easy to track stats such as:
It’s easy to customize which metrics you track, so you can gauge anything that matters to your restaurant business. Plus, because the log book is cloud-based, the data will never be lost, it can be accessed from anywhere, and it’s always available in real-time.
New technology has changed how people live their day to day lives, and it’s changed how businesses need to operate. Thankfully for restaurants, modern life’s new challenges have modern solutions like employee scheduling software, which gives any restaurant the lift it needs.
