Multi-outlet restaurants run on tight margins. Every decision you make impacts your bottom line. I have been talking to numerous multi-outlet F&B professionals like you. Based on countless conversations that I had, here's what keeps you up at night: ⇾ Spiking food costs. Between inflation and supply chain issues, keeping your menu profitable is a constant battle. ⇾ Inaccurate inventory. Outdated systems lead to overstocking or stockouts, wasting money and frustrating customers. ⇾ Inefficient operations. Manual processes slow you down and make it hard to scale effectively. The truth is... You can't optimize your business with legacy systems. It just doesn't work in today's time. Apicbase offers a better way. ➞ Real-time inventory visibility.

The restaurant industry is in serious trouble. Especially if it keeps chasing % as success measures. Check it out. 1) Chasing labor cost % often forces management to cut harder than they should. Causing a decline in guest spend and increased turnover. 2) Chasing food cost % often forces management to design menus that aren’t profitable. Causing lower guest spend, less dollars to the bottom line, and reduced food quality. Rather than labor % -> Look at productivity scores in order to get the % to where you want it. Rather than food cost % -> Look at variance to theoretical to accomplish the cost % that is right. Because the business is difficult enough. So let’s simplify it for the people running it everyday. 👊🏻 #restaurantindustry #profit #management #hospitalityindustry
