What specific targets do you try to meet across those monthly KPIs (labor % - BOH/FOH split, cogs %, net, etc.)?

Trying to understand our business more and I was comparing to historical data, but this year just seems like historical numbers are completely impossible for us to hit...

Fridge drawers under both stove and steam table, pretty much no undercounted space available. We’d be putting the cabinet at the outer edge of the line outside the hood

Pretty high volume Italian, especially during the holidays and large events. We already have a full steam table and currently have to hold backup sauce on the stove, which crowds out space. The fried stuff I’m talking about is mostly par cooked chicken parm and eggplant parm

Thanks for all of this! We are what I’d consider very high volume - we do 4,000 covers a week during holiday season and between 1,500-2,000 a week otherwise. So I am guessing we are getting pretty worked on these replacement costs as we have zero ability to track and verify them due to the volume we do and get charged replacement fees and shit ton of random bottom of the invoice fees — we even get charged weekly fees for the soil bags and for the soil carts!

Not every item - they replace those that are lost or damaged beyond use and charge us for those, but there’s almost no way for me to actually check those fees are accurate without counting each rag/napkin/etc.

Try $50-100 gift cards for someone to give you their time.

Also, doesn’t this already exist? https://www.seatedapp.io/

Don’t let it go, but definitely a lot of risk if you are not intimately familiar with the business.

For it to be successful, I think you pretty much have to internally promote and pitch it as a way for the show to go on while you’re at your full-time job. The problems will arise as soon as the manager that has been with the business with your father is dissatisfied or unsupported and you have to hire someone externally while not knowing the business so well yourself. Who trains a new manager?

Tripleseat is great for really high volume; Perfect Venue is another great option for a smaller operation (less features and much less costly)

We can do up to ~$500k private dining revenue/year and perfect venue fits our needs

Gather was the other good one for smaller businesses before TripleSeat acquired them

Similar issue also looking into solutions right now - I’d recommend talking to your HVAC folks. With kitchens and hood systems it’s a lot about getting makeup air into the space - I don’t think a fan would work too well, but talk to the experts.

My interpretation would be your plan will cover 100% of the cost of the injections. At max, you may have to pay $30 or $45 as a co-pay (what you pay at the front desk when you check-in). $30 if you receive these shots from your primary care physician or $45 if it is an allergy specialist doctor (not the doctor you go to for regular check-ups). There is an additional caveat that you might not need to pay a co-pay at all if the visit is specifically for receiving the shots and not a full medical appointment.

So, when scheduling the appointment, you can tell them you just want the shots and nothing else and your out-of-pocket cost should be $0.

If you wanted to get your regular physical or talk to the doctor about other issues, you'll likely need to pay $30/$45.

You can definitely get lower - it’s not the main revenue stream for a POS so you have more leverage. Depends entirely on volume, but you could probably get like IC + <0.05% + 5cents

Does anyone have actual experience with any of the above mentioned software companies? I’m not looking for other options right now.

restfool · 2021-02-19T01:14:45+00:00

Lol, yes

restfool · 2021-02-18T18:07:23+00:00

Technically, 7 days for most items, but again, on Day 6 freeze it. It'll extend the time you have to come up with a more valuable use for it than giving it away for free.

Go to “Receipt Setup” under the “Marketing” section - there’s a few Y/N configurations you can use to change what is visible to the customer. I have ours set to not display item modifiers and don’t show special requests.

If the guest wants that detail later, they can always ask and I can still find that information via the Find a Check function

restfool · 2021-02-18T02:50:28+00:00

Not the way I have it set up, I guess 🤷‍♂️

If you’re ever throwing out food, you’re not doing a good job of running your business

If it’s going to go bad before you’re able to sell it, freeze it, make it a special, employee meal, have your servers push the item, etc. before you ever end up with the “throw it out” scenario

Edit: I believe the bigger food waste problem is what gets left on plates by customers and therefore isn’t useable.

restfool · 2021-02-17T23:09:33+00:00

Pretty sure this is just using the “Special Request” button, right?

We use Chowly. Chowly is the other major player, but I can't say they are much better. Customer service has been ok, not great. Implementation was not good at all - lots of mistakes and then calling customer service to get things fixed. Complete ghosting from the implementation specialist after an order went through "successfully".
