The public catering system in Russia is developing quite dynamically and this can be seen not only by the number of new institutions that have appeared recently, but also in terms of maintenance quality.
Restaurateurs are increasingly interested in automation of the restaurant, cafe, bar. This provision is not surprising if you take into account the increasing competition and the restaurateur’s desire to create the most transparent and easy to manage business, which will help attract additional investors.
The effectiveness of the management system can be evaluated in the context of the financial crisis. The latter of them showed that constant monitoring, analysis of purchase prices for ingredients allows you to quickly make decisions that will entail, if not an increase in profit, then its preservation at the same level. Naturally, it is quite problematic to do it on their own, so not all restaurateurs who postponed the purchase and installation of information systems to manage their institutions were able to safely survive a decrease in income.
The reason is very simple – the restaurateur could not correctly organize: the pricing of his products, accounting and control of reserves at his enterprise, a less expensive menu. Based on this, it is advisable to install special equipment – cafes or restaurant in advance, in this case, will be able to quickly adapt to new realities of business. In addition, this will allow you to control not only the consumption of ingredients, but also the work of personnel, and in some cases a small number of employees for more saving funds. It will not be superfluous to say that complete control over reserves and funds received will allow the leader to prevent theft attempts, both products and revenues.
Today, the market of specialized equipment and software for the restaurant business in Russia is represented not only by foreign, but also by domestic developers. The price range will pleasantly delight both the owner of a small cafe and the owner of the restaurant network. But the cost should not affect the choice-the program from the obverse or other developer must meet the following criteria: price-functionality-service. Only a comprehensive assessment of such a program will make this purchase justified investment in business development. Thus, the system of automation of public catering establishments is an effective tool for organizing and conducting business, regardless of the economic situation in the country.
