With PointOS, you can connect to your suppliers to automatically re-order stock. An automated POS system can tie purchase orders directly to an order, ensuring that you are invoicing for all of the outside purchases you make.
Manage Your Labor Force
Automate your software to send a manager an alert when labor percentages are getting high. You can even set your system to automatically clock out employees who have forgotten to clock out at the end of the day.
Staff Scheduling
Automated scheduling does something the human scheduling manager doesn’t always consider—not just the numbers of bodies, but also the kinds of bodies you need on the floor.
With restaurant scheduling software, you create shift profiles (ie Night Bar) and employee profiles.
Employee profiles are kind of like filing cabinets for each staff member. The info you can log about an employee includes:
- Shifts based on skill level (Can work 4 table, but not 5 table section)
- Departmental Shifts (Can work server and cocktail shifts but not bartender)
- Availability (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday 10-4pm, etc.)
- Time-Off requests (which they can upload in the employee portal)
- Number of Preferred Shifts (Open availability but only want to work 3 times/week)
