When we examine the components of a successful restaurant, a great menu is the key ingredient to building a loyal customer base. But, there’s a lot of work involved with getting those customers in the door and delivering those great meals to their tables. When we think about the tools we’ll need to open a new restaurant or give an existing one a facelift, we may focus on kitchen appliances like stoves and ovens, or furnishings that provide a warm and comfortable atmosphere.
A Few Additional Things to Think About
While the menu and ambiance are extremely important, the tools you choose for managing can prove to be a far more critical component of a successful eating establishment. It’s the little things behind the scenes that need to work flawlessly; things like inventory, scheduling of staff, keeping track of deliveries, and most importantly, the bottom line.
- Do we have enough bread to support our pasta special?
- Have we heard from the meat and poultry distributor on the big order?
- Can we add a few extra drivers for the weekend delivery rush?
- Do we have enough staff scheduled to support this week’s ad and coupons?
- Did I remember to enter yesterday’s receipts into my bookkeeping program?
