How does Axial Shift help restaurants grow sales and guest traffic?

Short answer

Axial Shift grows sales by focusing frontline teams on guests. Team members see their own numbers in real time, contests reward the behaviors that build checks, and tip percentage, the clearest measure of guest happiness, rises across the team. Happier guests come back more often.

Results from Axial customers

  • Talk of the Town: +$399,000 in added wine sales
  • A multi-concept group: beer, wine and liquor up 28%
  • A high-end steakhouse: per-person average up 14%
  • A West Coast restaurant: wine bottle sales doubled

How it works

  • Custom KPIs from any POS item, such as a featured item's attachment rate
  • Contests by store, shift or role, where everyone above average wins
  • Live leaderboards on a back-of-house screen
