What do your Point of Sale Reports do…Motivate, Intimidate or Aggravate?

We’re reaching a tipping point for technology in the restaurant and retail industry. It began with simple automation: take the paper processes and put them on a computer. Fine, but that left us with so many spreadsheets, Word templates, proprietary systems and disconnected point solutions that we were drowning in complexity and data overload.

It also highlighted that many of the processes we were automating actually needed to be revised, simplified or eliminated altogether.

Baffled by the complexity we created, focus in recent years has been on process simplification, user-friendliness and redirecting attention to what actually matters.

That said, I have two questions for you:

1. Do your POS reports shift employees from passive recipients of information to “agents of change”?

2. Do your POS reports shift managers from ‘performance enforcers’ to coaches that provide constructive motivation for achievement?

If not, we can help (immediately) by offering you a number of tools that can increase collaboration which produces positive outcomes through free tools like our new LOG app or some of our subscription based tools like employee scheduling and inventory management that can cut costs up to 2% or more.

How can this make a difference in your business? Easy, our performance management tools can turn BIG DATA into meaningful information that you can share with everyone in your organization.

Furthermore, we can help shift the focus of your organization from processes to outcomes. It’s time to burn the forms — with technology finally up to the task of producing meaningful information, managers can turn their attention to driving performance outcomes rather than being bogged down in laborious processes.

Community Plates’ Go Rescue Technology Powered by WhenToManage Named a 2013 Computerworld Honors Program Laureate

“There is no reason for any American to go hungry with our country’s ample food supply. We simply need better logistics which is exactly what the Community Plates’ model provides,” said Kevin Mullins, executive director and co-founder, Community Plates. “Our goal is to END food insecurity in America and we are honored to be recognized by Computerworld for the technology that is playing a vital role in advancing this goal.”

Community Plates was launched in 2010 by WhenToManage. As an innovator of cloud-based software for the restaurant, hospitality and retail industries, WhenToManage recognized the opportunity to streamline the food rescue process through technology and proceeded to develop the Go Rescue App. The traditional food rescue model relies on multi-layered infrastructure and excessive food handling via fleets of trucks, drivers and warehousing, requiring high overhead and too much time to allow for the transfer of perishable, fresh food. Utilizing the Go Rescue App and volunteer food runners, Community Plates eliminates much of this overhead, while delivering fresher (and thereby healthier) food directly to those in need.
