Helping hospitality businesses streamline their operations to build confidence in the every day 💡

Going out to eat is a pleasure! A modern luxury available to us more than any past generation. We go out more nowadays than ever before, and the traditional weekend surge is becoming less predictable with more people choosing to eat out through the week too. With so many amazing food venues to choose from, all of which offer exciting menu choices, great environments, and atmospheres to suit any occasion from going out with family or friends, to business meetings, or date night we expect a great experience…we don’t anticipate there to be friction do we? What could go wrong? There are multiple challenges restaurants face when they fail to accurately predict customer demand: 🚫 Long wait times 🚫 Menu items not available due to stock issues 🚫 Food not served to your group at the same time 🚫 Stressed staff not able to make you feel welcome and relaxed. Demand forecasting may seem mundane but when 85% of guests say that a key annoyance is items being out of stock* its impact echoes throughout the entire dining experience. ❌ Guests not willing to return to the restaurant again, or less often 😵 Friends and family being told so they feel less inclined to visit 😤 Heightened complaints made at the time to staff that are already harassed 👩💻 Negative reviews online. Ultimately this can result in financial losses to operators. There is a solution: demand forecasting 💡 Start leveraging data analytics, historical trends, and predictive modeling to enable your business to anticipate fluctuations in customer demands with remarkable accuracy. It takes a lot less effort than you think. Demand forecasting from Apicbase: https://bit.ly/3UXJaV8 Or feel free to DM me and we can have a no obligation chat.
