e*Restaurant

Easy from the start

Information comes looking for you.
e*Restaurant Alert and Reports strike a perfect balance between providing access to data and drowning you in it.  Our exclusive SMART technology ensures that you have the information you need when you need it.

Experts believe that less that 2% of data that is processed and housed by most companies is actual useful.  Why then do other applications require you to comb through 98% of useless information to discover what you need.

With e*Restaurant Alerts and Reports the most critical information is sent to you by email, alert, pager, or SMART.  Information that requires further analysis can be researched via a comprehensive reporting framework.  The most demanding tasks can be completed using the e*Restaurant Business Intelligence solution.

The result is that you are not bogged down looking for information - it comes looking for you.

Reports, Reports, Reports

If you love reports, you are going to fall in love.
Traditionally, retrieving stored data is difficult and time-consuming. Everyone agrees that there is profit in the details provided by reporting. If you cannot quickly and easily get the right details about your restaurant or about the restaurants in your division, then you cannot maximize your business efficiency and profits.

Out of the box e*Restaurant comes with hundreds of reports.  Almost every imaginable report is part of the standard reports library.

Reports allow you to quickly start using e*Restaurant to investigate sales, comps, promos, voids, product mix, labor performance, and labor costs, and much more. Reports can be run for a location, group of locations, or entire company.

Providing area and store managers with rapid access to information they should have is a business imperative. Allowing managers the insight to revise programs based on costs and conditions, in the face of changing demand. When on-demand data is available, managers can increase or cut back depending on the projected sales volume and actual restaurant activity for any time period – day part, day, week, month, or season.

Actionable Alerts

Move up your inflection point.
Exception based displays and pro-active alerts highlight critical information.  You are instantly made aware of conditions such as cash shortages, above average discounts, excessive coupons usage, food variance, labor cost issues, and other indicators of potential problems.

Deliver alerts to the right people at the right time. e*Restaurant Alerts delivers alerts based on dynamic business information when and where it is needed.  Alerts are tailored to the individual level.  For example, you can alert a manager if cash is short by $20, alert an Area Director if the the shortage exceeds $200, and alert the CFO if there is more than $2000 missing.  This approach prevents unnecessary "noise" from desensitizing your managers when real issues need to be addressed.

Alerts are delivered through the most relevant vehicle for your managers.  Alerts can be sent by: cell phone, text message, email, report, dashboard, and through SMART.

Open Design

Everyone wants to be free.

You can optionally feed data to an external data warehouse or data mart and use a 3rd party reporting tool such as Crystal, Cognos, Business Objects, Reporting Services, if you choose.
