New Capabilities
Enhanced demand-based labor scheduling – Using a new graphical user interface that makes schedules easy to visualize, operators can quickly build schedules hour by hour, and day by day, based on forecast demand for those periods. The result is an optimal customer experience at the lowest possible cost. Improved labor scheduling templates – New templates allow operators to schedule staff based on forecasts for a wider variety of revenue streams, i.e. takeout vs. dining room, for better service and lower labor costs. Improved scheduling for non-revenue-based tasks – Tasks like periodic cleaning, maintenance, or training are easily accommodated on the new templates, ensuring consistent operations- key to maintaining brand integrity. Enhanced sales forecasting – Sales forecasts can be based on sales trends, last year’s sales, or budget, with all information displayed in an easy-to-analyze format. At the heart of running any restaurant, accurate sales forecasts dramatically reduce waste and enable a better customer experience.
