Restaurant owners are always balancing the day-to-day craziness that comes with running a service-oriented business with the desire to move the business forward and increase profitability. It can be easy to get caught up in every daily problem that pops up, especially when you wear the hats of plumber, cook, hostess, purchaser and more, but Avero’s restaurant solutions make this daily “dance” easier and help you work towards your larger goal of driving profitability in the operation.
- Maximize communication: One of the hardest things about working with a team is making sure everyone is informed and aligned on everything, from daily expected cover count to quarterly budget. Paper logbooks, centralized spreadsheets and long email strings produce records that will probably never be referenced or read and cannot be easily searched. The Avero Logbook saves your team time, helps you leverage historical performance and streamlines communication. It’s completely customizable and combines your qualitative notes with your daily sales and labor information all in one place and emails it all out daily. Best of all, you’ll no longer need to search through paper books or long email strings — the Avero Logbook is easily searchable along any keywords or fields. Want to get home after a long day on your feet? Simply fill out the Logbook on your phone or at home on your computer. Your team will stay connected and informed with Avero’s Logbook.
- Empower your team: The number one way to be successful is to empower the people that work for you. By empowering them to make insightful business decisions and own the operation, you can spend less time on daily tasks and more time moving the business forward. Empowered managers understand the goals for the operation and are able to see how the decisions they make day to day have a direct impact on the success of the operation. Avero’s solutions offer your managers clear insights that they can access anywhere to make daily decisions about staffing, server training, ordering and more. Best of all, you can standardize the key metrics they use through emailed and saved reports so that the whole team is working in unison.
- Leverage controls to prevent loss: The last thing you want to worry about in your team is fraudulent behavior, but it’s a reality in many F&B operations so it’s important to not be caught off guard. How can you watch every server who touches cash, every check that gets closed, or every void that occurs? You can’t, but Avero’s void and promotion solutions allow you to get the visibility you need into your daily operation to identify any anomalies that may have occurred. Easily look at number of voids across a peer group or cash as a percentage of sales across a peer group, and even have them emailed to you weekly for simple monitoring. Avero also offers comprehensive solutions that will do the monitoring for you and send you alerts when those anomalies pop up.
- Optimize labor costs: Your people are the most important part of your operation, but they’re also often the most expensive. You want to take care of them but you don’t want impart unnecessary costs. You could stand by the time clock all day, or find out about the labor costs you accrued 1-2 weeks after they were accrued, or use Avero’s labor solutions to proactively prevent overtime on a weekly basis by giving you daily access to your labor performance and automated weekly emails on who is approaching overtime. You can easily drill down to see which job classes or individuals are causing your overtime so that you can make punch edits or staffing adjustments. Best of all, you can also hold your team accountable for leveraging Avero to manage labor, because there is complete transparency into the operation.
