Source for technology that lessens your restaurant’s dependence on manpower

With rising manpower costs increasing difficulty to hire and retain employees in the restaurant business, you should consider turning to digital solutions to solve your restaurant’s manpower issues.

QR Ordering System

Adopting a QR ordering system will allow your customers to scan a QR code, browse your menu to place their orders, which will be sent to your restaurant’s POS system and specific kitchen departments.

This means that your restaurant will reduce dependence on service staff to manually take orders and then key the orders into the POS system.

Self Ordering Kiosk

If your restaurant has a pay-first-collect-later operation like fast food restaurants or cafes, your may want to consider self ordering kiosks as well. Self ordering kiosks allows your restaurant to run without cashiers to take orders manually. Instead, your customers can self-order at the kiosks.

Manage restaurant employees well

As manpower is scarce, managing your employees well reduces the turnover rate, to reduce hiring efforts. Ensure that your employees have adequate welfare, are not overworked (common in the F&B industry), paid fairly and enjoy good employee benefits.

This will help to reduce employee turnover rates for your restaurant.

Manage inventory levels

Make a list of your inventory and identify what your restaurant really needs. Chances are you might be overstocking on some raw materials and items.

While reducing your inventory level, you have to ensure that you do not run out of stock in your best sellers which negatively affects your revenues.
