We salute you!
If you’re reading this, you’re likely on the right side of the 75% increase in branch closures and 163% increase in job losses across hospitality in the UK. Our favourite pubs and restaurants still standing, and planning grand reopenings in the coming weeks and months, have great things to look forward to with Downing Street predicting a ‘happy and free Great British summer’.
Now the Test Will be Keeping High Standards with Leaner Teams that Work Agile.
Hospitality’s bounceback will be defined by pubs’ and restaurants’ ability to ‘do more with less’ by maintaining quality, while operating new, lean teams that may be rough around the edges.
Chaos happens with poor planning.
Great teams that do more with less are well-drilled with memorised routines, contingency plans for any eventuality, and multi-skilled agility. As your customers step gingerly into the hospitality spaces, they’ll want service to flow and they won’t want to be left loitering around in each other’s personal space.
Don’t Let it Be a Flop: The Right Tech Will Avoid Chaos, Catastrophes and Upset Customers.
A team reduced in numbers will thank you if you’re able to make their job easier with the right technology. Find out how much technology can save you in time and money.
Digital Table Booking
Wait time is the number-1 complaint in poor pub and restaurant reviews. Digital table booking systems speed up both the reservation process, and the entry-to-table time. Your teams can also use digital table booking to find optimal seating arrangements in-line with social distancing that makes best use of your space to accommodate different group sizes.
Table Top Tablets
Instead of having a small team cater for 5 tables each and compromise quality of service delivery, customers are able to use the table to browse menus, build custom orders, and pay independently—guaranteed accuracy, fewer errors, and a front-of-house team freed up to perform other essential tasks.
Scheduling Software
Managers hate overscheduling. It’s expensive. By digitising shift schedules, pub and restaurant managers can avoid conflict, loss of motivation and overspend on too many people on shift during quiet shifts. In seconds, it’s possible to create weekly or monthly schedules around booking forecasts to always have the right level of manpower, and lower labour costs.
