A Kitchen Display System Will Benefit Your Bottom Line

 

KDS

If you're still using paper tickets in the kitchen, you're doing the same thing you've always done and are missing ways to improve productivity and efficiency in your restaurant.  Have you considered a Kitchen Display System?

 

KDS will improve your operations in many ways including reducing the amount of paper and ribbons used with traditional kitchen printers.  KDS also tracks production times at each station helping to identify bottlenecks or problem areas on the line.

 

Additionally, KDS for MICROS RES 3700 will provide real-time "at-a-glance" information regarding the status of your kitchen and can alert chefs and managers to mounting issues regarding speed of service.

Do Your Homework When Shopping for a Pizza POS System

 

pizza Not all restaurants are alike so there is no one-size-fits-all point-of-sale system. Pizza restaurants have especially different needs than a traditional full or quick service restaurant.  With pizza size, menu toppings, online ordering and delivery, pizza operators need a robust system that can handle all the requirements of a pizza operation.  

 

Speedline offers a useful guide to inform pizza operators about the factors to consider when choosing a new POS system.

Optimize Your Google Places Page

 

Google Places Google Places pages are an untapped and underutilized marketing channel most businesses continue to bypass, yet they offer tremendous exposure and directly influence the most important online channel for any brick-and-mortar business: Google's organic search results.

   

Why?  First, because it's free.

 

Secondly, when it comes to being found in local search from consumers with strong intent (looking for a place to eat) Google Places is extremely powerful. Because local search results garner not only the highly coveted top left section of the first page of local Google searches, it is also a critical piece to making sure that your restaurant will be found when people are searching Google Maps on their mobile phone.
