Repairs can be a huge (and unnecessary) weight on restaurant operators’ shoulders, distracting them from what matters most – providing their guests with a great experience. Whether you’re an owner, director of operations, or general manager, spending time on repairs and maintenance means you aren’t focused on your restaurant’s highest priorities, like increasing covers, training staff, and providing a memorable front-of-house experience.

In every industry—but particularly the hospitality industry—having data and systems that don’t talk to each other is a major problem: your POS holds all your sales data. your accounting program holds all your financial data. your inventory app holds all your inventory data. etc, etc. While some systems claim to do everything, the truth is most try to do it all, but the delivered results are average at best, and poor most often.

It’s an all-too-familiar (and frustrating) scenario for restaurants: customers browse the website, place orders in their shopping carts — and then vanish without completing the sale. Multiple studies have shown the average shopping cart abandonment rate is around 70%. While some shoppers do return later to finish their transactions, the rest represent a significant amount of lost potential revenue.

For many of us, it’s hard to remember the last time we paid for a meal using cash. We are slowly but surely moving towards a cashless society. This is evident in the way we make routine dining purchases. Research by TSYS reveals that 40% of Americans pay with credit cards, 35% with debit cards, and 11% with cash. Interestingly, of the Americans between the ages of 25-34, only 5% pay with cash.

Does your bar or restaurant operation have an inventory program or an ordering program? Yes! There are vast differences between the two. Often, people believe they are running an inventory program, or consider both practices one and the same. But, one will get your variance (or loss) down to less than 3%, the other, on average, will keep you between 15 – 20%.

A restaurant management plan is your written strategy for how to get your restaurant to where you want it. New ideas have very little value unless they are put into action. This restaurant management plan is a tool that translates ideas (I should or I’ll try to) into action (I am). This helps solidify your commitment to turning your restaurant into a profitable and smooth-running operation.
