What if You Could Solve the Restaurant Labor Shortage for $1 Per Hour?
For over two years, restaurants have been facing labor shortages and rising wages. Restaurants simply cannot hire staff quickly enough, leading to stressed-out managers, overworked crew members, and frustrated customers facing longer wait times. In today’s restaurant operating environment, everyone is expected to do more with less.
The good news is that the right restaurant management software can help retain talent while keeping restaurant operations running smoothly.
A successful restaurant operation platform should be designed to free up precious human resources from some of the more mundane and tedious back-of-house tasks like ordering, scheduling, forecasting, and planning prep. By automating these data-intensive functions, you can reward your staff by allowing them to do what they do best: create delicious food, build and work on great teams, and provide a superior guest experience.
Let the Smart Software Do the Work
CrunchTime’s platform combines data science, machine learning, and years of restaurant operations experience. Each CrunchTime release is guided by lessons learned from 25 years of working with some of the restaurant industry’s most iconic brands and using that insight to make restaurant operations easier.
By shifting the responsibility of parsing through complex data to a restaurant management platform, operators can automate core functions like ordering, receiving, sales forecasting, labor scheduling, planning prep, and posting week-ending results.
Not only should a restaurant management platform automate core operational functions, but it should also provide real-time visibility to monitor operational efficiencies, provide checks and balances to identify outliers, and integrate effortlessly across your tech stack.
An Employee That Does (Almost) Everything for $1 per Hour
Your restaurant management software should be seen as a trusted, reliable, and cost-effective extension of your workforce that knows how to get stuff done. Imagine having an employee that never takes sick days, never takes time off, works all day and night, and keeps your back-of-house operation running smoothly, all for well under $1 per hour. That's what a good restaurant operations platform should do.
With ever-changing COVID protocols and ongoing staff shortages, operators everywhere must do more with less. CrunchTime’s restaurant operation platform safely and efficiently automates mundane tasks that require intense analysis of massive amounts of data to optimize your operations. By letting your restaurant management system automate the mundane, you can let your staff do what they do best: delight your guests.
