Interview Takeaways

Restaurant365 has solutions that directly benefit restaurant owners and operators. Here are some new tools from the company that they showed off at the 2024 National Restaurant Show.
  • EMPLOYEE TRAINING: R365’s acquisition of training platform ExpandShare supports operators with intuitive learning and development that leads to better outcomes for daily restaurant operations, guest experiences, and financial results.
  • TASK MANAGEMENT: R365 Task Management boosts restaurant productivity, compliance, and cohesion with a centralized hub for task delegation, progress tracking, and communication. By integrating with logbook, chat, and other communication features, companies become more connected at the location and organization-wide levels.
  • OTHER INNOVATIONS: Alongside employee training and task management, Restaurant365 has forecasting — which provides intuitive daily, weekly, and monthly forecasting dashboards with greater accuracy and less setup, empowering managers to make margin-boosting decisions quickly. There’s also Capture AI, which extracts data from invoices with speed and precision, freeing teams to focus on data analysis and improving operations.

If you could automate a task you hated, why wouldn’t you?

Restaurant owners didn’t get into the business to do accounting or other arduous tasks. So it’s good that Restaurant365 is here to help.

In this lively conversation at the National Restaurant Show, Shawn Walchef talks with members of the R365 Southeast US team about how Restaurant365 tools are helping restaurants thrive and focus on what they love to do most.

Did you make a restaurant so you could look at invoices all day? No. Let’s get you back doing the fun things that you want to do,” said R365 sales lead Julianne Gomez.

The Restaurant365 Southeast team (Monte Silva, Julianne Gomez, and Director of Sales Matt Joiner) shared a story about a restaurant that realized its hugely popular sandwich was eating away at their bottom line.

The sandwich cost way too much to make — with a margin of 70 percent food cost — but the restaurant operators didn’t realize that until they fired up an R365 report.

All it took was one report to save that restaurant lots of money. They were able to bring costs in-line for that sandwich to ensure they were actually making money on it.

“It was an a-ha moment for them,” said Restaurant365’s Matt Joiner.

Monte Silva used to work for a restaurant that faced the daunting, but necessary task, of doing weekly inventor for P&L statements. When they signed up for R365, he saw just how much of a difference the process was when using technology.

“I found that it was the best tool,” Monte said about using Restaurant365 at the restaurant.

The 2024 Restaurant Transformation Tour by R365 will make stops in Nashville from Aug. 11-13 and will head to Ft. Lauderdale on Nov. 7. GET TIX: https://rtt.restaurant365.com
