Effective benchmarking means consistently tracking key metrics. Metrics mean volumes of data. You need an integrated back-of-house platform to help you see problems and trends at a glance. Such platforms aid inventory management, a critical focus in the restaurant business. Good inventory management means you never run out of customer favorites or throw away money as you toss wasted food. Integrated platforms also help with staff scheduling. Above all, they provide the objective, big-picture data you need to increase customer satisfaction and boost ROI.
