Running a restaurant is beyond more than just serving high-quality food, it involves how to juice up the right food to keep your customers coming back. Take a stroll to the nearest eatery, and you’ll likely notice a surge in restaurants and cafes in every corner. So how are you going to stand up in between those? Here’s why our FeedMe Report Engine is the ultimate weapon every restaurant owner should have. Let us work and gather all the data for you so that you don’t have to waste your time in scrutinizing your business strategy. With the right implementation, we believe that your business will keep thriving and beat the rest.  Optimize Reporting Workflow  As a restaurant owner, we recognize the importance of timely reporting to your partners or team members. However, amidst your busy schedule, you may overlook submitting reports. To streamline this process, you can now schedule reports, ensuring timely delivery to specified email addresses. Are you looking for a preferred chart type to view the report? Report Customization is equipped with a wide range of chart types, including Donut, Table, Barchart, Line Chart, Stacked Line, and more. With the flexibility of connecting dimension data with fact data, you can easily analyze any data schema in the FeedMe Report Engine.  No More Overloaded Data  If you’re still clinging to the traditional manual POS system, it’s time to bid farewell and embrace the cloud-based alternative! It will be a big hiccup if you are running multiple restaurants without a proper report engine to record your daily sales. The traditional manual POS system is not equipped with the proper data storage to record daily sales effectively. Therefore, by using FeedMe Smart POS System, you can simply tap into an General Report where the FeedMe Report Engine will automatically compile real-time data, providing actionable insights with just a click, including Close-Up, Daily Sales, Receipts, Counter Report, and more.  Identify Best-Selling Menu & Double Your Profit  Our merchant told us that leveraging our data allows them to pinpoint the best-selling menu in their restaurants and how they can take the advantage to further amplify their profits. As a restaurant owner, you may also decide with your chef on how to enhance less popular menu items. Moreover, the data can guide you in allocating a larger manpower for the kitchen and floor during peak times. Besides that, do strategize with your marketing team such as giving out special “Buy 1 Free 1” vouchers during low peak hours. These targeting promotions will help you to increase customer loyalty and build long-lasting customer relationships which in turn drives sales. Via FeedMe Report Engine, our system will tabulate the total of the vouchers that are given out to your customer and track the voucher claimed as well.   Inventory Nightmares  How often do you check your daily food wastage for your restaurant? This is important for any restaurant owner because you need to monitor stock levels, preventing overstock or potential stockouts. We understand the challenges of managing inventory, especially if you oversee multiple restaurants simultaneously. Therefore, the best solution is to use FeedMe Report Engine to organize the data for you!  Track Suspicious Transactions  Void orders can lead to direct revenue loss for the restaurant, as the items associated with voided transactions are often prepared or served before the void is noticed. Restaurant owners may face challenges in distinguishing between legitimate voids (e.g., customer complaints or kitchen errors) and potentially fraudulent voids intended to manipulate sales records for personal gain. However, this can be avoided with our strict management in recording down all the counter activities, including drawer cash activities, E-wallet transactions, Debit and Credit Card transactions.  Why does the FeedMe Report Engine matter? Spend less time on manual data entry and report generation, allowing you to focus on what matters most – serving your customers and growing your business. In the dynamic world of F&B, having a POS system with a robust Report Engine is not just a luxury; it's a necessity. Elevate your business to new heights by embracing technology that not only understands your challenges but provides practical solutions.
