Operational Success

Running a restaurant requires timely and consistent attention into four key areas: sales, lost sales, labor and purchases.

Sales

View sales at-a-glance or drill down into the details

Lost Sales

Address issues before it’s too late

Labor

Put mobility and automation into your labor management

Purchases

Gamify Sales

Motivate the teams throughout your operation by delivering a transparent, real-time dashboard view into how their efforts lead directly to increased sales, tips, and repeat business.

Incentivize waste prevention, guest satisfaction and/or increased sales of new menu items. The only limit is your imagination!
