How does a cloud based tech solution help a 
restaurant to scale?

Cloud based tech solutions in the hospitality sector play an important role in streamlining operations and helping restaurant businesses to scale effectively. There are multiple ways where cloud technology in this industry plays a pivotal role.

1. Automation of operations

There are so many different facets to running a restaurant. Throw into that the various sale channels each site operates, and the need for automation grows. Cloud technology allows the traditional and more manual processes like taking the order, transferring it to the kitchen, creating a bill to be completely automated.

The order is taken via a touchscreen device, those details are automatically communicated to the kitchen via a printer or digital kitchen screen and all details are easily accessible when the bill needs to be generated.

Errors are eliminated and the customer experiences a seamless front of house service that’s efficient and the back of house operations know what orders need to be satisfied and in what order.

Sales channels aren’t the only aspect of a restaurant that can be automated. Stock and revenue management can all be integrated into the central solution ensuring data can be accessed from one device, eliminating the need for manual stock and cash counts.

2. It’s incredibly cost effective

Wherever you have an internet connection, you can view and access reports that give a true insight into the sales and operations of every site.

Integrating HR partners into a centralised cloud based solution, saves a huge amount of time and money on HR admin. Furthermore, once delivery and click and collect partners are integrated, the time that staff were taking to process and manage orders is freed up, enabling their time to be directed to other aspects of the business.

Additionally, the use of API connects other aspects of the business, so everything starts to work and function in sync.

3. Data security is optimised

A restaurant business deals with a huge amount of customer data, but a cloud-based solution offers a high level of data security. With a cloud based solution, the data isn’t stored at physical servers, protecting it from flooding and other weather related events - the information is stored securely off site.

Always choose a solution that restricts user access. For obvious reasons it’s not ideal for some users to have access to revenue management for example and so access control is an invaluable feature that protects company data as well as ensuring consumer data is also safe.

4. Integrate inventory management

Huge losses can occur when inventory isn’t managed. It’s of paramount importance to track everything that’s ordered, used and left over. It allows managers to identify gaps between the production costs and actual sales.

Inventory management allows stock to be tracked and shortages of products or wastage to be evaluated and eliminated. Being able to deliver the products that customers want improves the entire experience and cutting out wastage reduces costs for the business.

5. Provides vital insights

Having a cloud based technology solution means data is accessible from any device wherever you’re located. Looking at daily sales, gathering critical reports and drilling down to granular detail is essential when you’re running a hospitality business.

Data driven decisions make all the difference and the more information at your fingertips, the better the understanding you will have of the business as a whole and across different sites. Understand what needs to be improved and how data compares to previous days, weeks and years.
