Yes, your POS system offers some reporting, but not enough. There is only one thing that is more important than knowing your restaurant numbers: managing your restaurant numbers. Even better than that is to teach your management to actively manage your restaurant numbers using systems. The tools in your POS system can tell you what your labor is at any given time, but they don’t tell you what your labor is going to be at the end of the night.
