Challenge
For restaurant brands with complex workflows and an emphasis on fast service, oversight can be a challenge for operators. Managing employees with paper checklists makes it almost impossible.
“There are simply not enough hours in the day to pay attention to every detail. The real weakness lies in oversight – ensuring everyone performs as directed without my having to be everywhere at once. When the system breaks down, which it often does, product quality and customer service falls off and food safety risk rises. Ultimately, my bottom line suffers.”
