Running a restaurant group is a never-ending, ever-changing job. There’s only one you and there’s a huge team reporting to you, and it’s growing every day. Wouldn’t it be great if you could leverage that team to help you drive success in your operation, even if you’re not physically at every restaurant in the group every single day?
Whether you lead a multi-unit restaurant group or are seeking to, these helpful tips will allow you to obtain more visibility into your business while holding your team accountable at all times.
- Standardize attributes to easily compare different locations and concepts. You’ve got restaurants in various parts of the country with very different themes, specials, events, menus and countless other characteristics. Group like properties together within your restaurant software so that you know how all of your Midwest restaurants are doing vs. your Northeast ones, your lounge-style locations vs. your more family-friendly ones, etc.
- Use data to identify best practices throughout the group. Once you’ve grouped like restaurants for quick and easy comparisons, look at your POS data from a high level to see which revenue centers, days of the week, meal periods, and portions of the menu are driving the most sales. When you have enough information to confidently pinpoint the top performers, you can replicate what makes them the top performers across all of your restaurants.
- Set your managers up for collaboration and success. Once you’ve identified and replicated your restaurant group’s successes, set up goals for your managers accordingly and hold them accountable at the group and outlet level so that individual locations can track their progress against company-standard benchmarks. Share this information with your managers on a regular basis via saved reports and notifications to ensure you all share a common language of success, and check up on them as often as you like with a mobile software solution providing that information anytime, anywhere.
