RESTAURANT

Food and drink are the reasons people go to a restaurant or bar. The quality of the product and service are the factors that keep them coming back. Dashboards can provide owners, partners and chefs with quick, direct ways to check the status of key areas that contribute to success of their restaurants and bars.

There are many issues that make a restaurant or bar successful: Staffing and training, food selection, using appropriate vendors and suppliers, seating and table turns, plus the variety of ways the operation is advertised and promoted.

These activities and others can be measured, monitored and managed as Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). The owner and partners of the business can monitor activities, or activities can be divided among people responsible for different areas of the restaurant, depending upon the size of the operations and number of locations.

Some issues that restaurants operations may wish to track include:

  • Customers by time of day/day/week/month.
  • Menu items ordered.
  • Cash vs. credit card payments.
  • Customer satisfaction ratings.
  • Employee ratings.
  • Per plate food costs.
  • Promotional coupons used.

Key Performance Indicators, such as the ones listed above, and the tables, charts and performance dials used to display the information, can be selected and customized for the business owner, partners and others responsible for specific areas.

General data relevant to the entire operation can be displayed in visual form. In addition, Dashboard Programs also can show data relevant for a specific department or activity. Examples of this specific information include employee data, participation in incentive plans, plus sales and marketing activities.
