Do you currently have one restaurant and are considering expanding or are you already a multi-unit operator? You have probably developed a system to analyze your sales, labor, purchases, paid outs, and reporting using paper, fax, and spreadsheets.
Does your stores call or fax their information to the office daily. Does the office then key the information into new spreadsheets for review and analysis or transfer to the accounting department? Do you have to dial into your systems through PcAnywhere to retrieve missing data? Do you have to dial into your systems through PC Anywhere to retrieve missing data or check a number? Did you have to get a store Manager to get the computer waiting for a phone call so that you could dial in? Did your connection to the restaurant become disconnected and you had to start all over? When doing payroll did you have to track down the Manager to get new employee hire paperwork? How long does it take you to put together a sales mix report for a 3 month period manually? When you are out of town, do you have to call your stores to find out how things are going? If you have investors in your restaurant or Enterprise do you get phone calls and meeting on, “what is going on”? Does your Store Manager say I did not get that fax that contained important operational change? When you want to change prices or add new menu items do you have to come in early or late in the day, or drive around making the changes?
If you answered yes to the any of the above questions, you should really consider getting an Enterprise solution for your company. iControl-Enterprise has been specifically interfaced to POSitouch centralize restaurant management.
An Enterprise solution is typically an ASP (Application Service Provider) web-enabled reporting system that consolidates and aggregates your data across your Enterprise . An Enterprise solution can positively impact many of your departments. Operations have actionable information delivered upon demand. Finance can rely on the data to be clean from user-input errors. If you have an IT department they can now focus on internal objectives rather than data collection.
If the Enterprise Company can provide you with an Accounting interface you can now grow your company without the fear of having to hire additional administrative help and increasing your overhead and get you out of the keypunching business. Sales, labor and payables data can be posted on a daily basis to your accounting system that allows you to produce a P & L within days of the period closing rather than weeks after the fact. Sales mix or menu engineering can be accomplished with a few clicks of the mouse rather than days and days of data retrieval and keypunching. Your IT department can now update your menus and prices within seconds rather than hours and days.
As you can see, the immediate Return On Investment (ROI) is absolutely about time savings because you will not have to touch the same data three or four times. Eliminating keypunch errors that require hours to troubleshoot the origin of the error can be huge. Freeing up your IT department from data collection and menu updating has a very positive impact on your business. The impact to employee moral is immeasurable with an Enterprise which then reduces employee turnover due to frustration and the result is saving thousands of dollars in retraining fees.
An Enterprise solution will allow you to first detect theft and as time goes by you then will deter it. Just think of all the employees that input into your POS systems on a daily basis and what system do you have in place to try to detect theft. An Enterprise solution can catch your silent Business Partners and I do not mean Uncle Sam. To be able to review schedules, monitor overtime, spot excessive schedule over rides, compare scheduled labor vs. actual labor can dramatically impact your bottom line. If you are using food cost to know what the real cost of $2000 worth of deletes really cost you is beneficial. Of all the employees that you have using your POS systems who are your best Lunch or Dinner Servers for the period? An Enterprise solution can tell you within seconds that answer. Which employee is ringing in the most deletes, discounts or voids?
By choosing an Enterprise solution that offers the above and paying a small monthly service fee the ROI easily becomes thousand of dollars. iControl has one customer currently that has 308 quick service stores and by using its software and services their overtime was less than $1000 for a recent week and all the over time that was used was approved ahead of time.
Many of CC Production's clients are currently enjoying the possibilities of iControl, including the Riese Corporation, Sbarro Corporation (with over 10 Boulder Creek restaurants, among others), and Arirang Hibachi.
