Accurate and timely data allows managers to make quick decisions that can positively impact their business. For example, monitoring current sales to see if they are trending higher or lower than forecasted will allow you to make adjustments to food-prep and labor-use. In the foodservice business, making smart decisions quickly is how the profit game is won or lost. And, it's why mobile reporting is a critical business tool for your c-store or restaurant back office.
GMs don't have time to run back and forth to stationary PCs to view the latest data about their store. They also don't have time to hunt and peck through a trough of different systems to find the data they need. Additionally, those who can carve time out of their busy day to load the latest reports cannot be reacting to outdated information. So, what to do?
The best way to access the data they need to make real-time decisions is using a mobile phone or tablet.
These are four must-have features:
For store managers: With these features, managers can quickly make the correct decision or adjustment to their food prep and worker schedules.
For area, district and regional managers: While on the road, they can decide which store to visit or call next based on the performance data they're getting on their phone. Now they can properly guide their store-level managers to adjust food and labor plans on the fly. - ahead of when the problems become too large. It's this level of efficiency that allows the best run stores to optimize their food and labor operations.

Your GM’s job is to constantly make decisions; about food prep, staffing, customer service, operations… and on and on. To help them make the best decisions, we created CrunchTime! IMPACT™.
CrunchTime developed a mobile reporting app that shows your GMs, right on their devices, their sales and labor metrics as of the last time the Net-Chef food and labor operations platform polled the POS. That can be as often as every 15 minutes, so data is always current. The Impact dashboard is capable of displaying over 50 critical metrics.
Think about that… no matter where they are, Impact gives your GMs the info they need to make necessary adjustments on the fly. That’s a money maker, particularly when GMs can configure which metrics display first, allowing them to focus on the most meaningful data for their restaurant.
Impact can also supply consolidated reporting for a group of locations, so your Area Directors won’t have to go any further than their phones to know what’s happening in their stores. Not what happened… what’s happening. And that’s a decided advantage.
