Competition in the foodservice industry is fierce; it affects us, as well as our customers. That is why we have teamed up with most major POS systems to provide a set of solutions in the form of restaurant software that can solve problems and provide greater return on operations for our customers.

If you are not familiar with this cost-cutting, performance-enhancing technology you are missing the boat!

We now have several hundred customers large and small (like Lonestar Steakhouse & Linksters) using cost-saving restaurant management software powered by WhenToManage; the following points illustrate why they are using it:

Labor Scheduling

• Get a real picture of payroll expenses by location, job or job category
• Gain fast access to all critical labor cost factors
• Schedule staff to minimize costs and service customers to your business standards
• Address overtime costs before they occur with an ‘approaching overtime’ report
• Easy to use graphical schedule allows you to drag n drop for quick adjustments

Inventory Management

• Get a real picture of COGS by location, menu item or day-part
• Utilize a web-based FIFO inventory management system to track food costs
• Reduce costs by identifying waste and theft
• Control undetected food costs with recipe management
• Watch as WhenToManage Inventory learns your usage trends and suggests ordering volumes based on historical data

POS Reporting

• Utilize POS data to review the item sales to determine how the mix of sales will affect the overall theoretical cost
• Track menu-item and store-level performance
• Subscribe to critical reports and be prepared for meetings; share data with accountants by exporting to CSV, PDF or Excel
• Set trigger values for alerts like Cash Over/Short, Discounts and Overtime Hours

It works very well for them and it can for you. If you have any questions or would like to schedule a demo, please feel free to contact Walker Thompson (wthompson@whentomanage.com).
