If a store or regional manager
could find out what happened yesterday and how they were
performing in only a matter of minutes, operators could
spend more time managing and less time running calculations.
If operators could detect fraud issues more easily, then
the restaurant would be more profitable. If a manager were
able to view labor expenses trends with just a few clicks,
then the manager could manage his labor pool more effectively.
The most efficient way for owners and operators to accomplish
these and many other daily challenges are to invest in a
business intelligence application suited for the restaurant
industry.
The average company
uses just 7% of the information stored in its databases
for analysis.

Business Intelligence (BI)
software applications have continued to show steady growth,
because managing an enterprise to profitability or maximum
profitability is of the most important goals during economically
challenging times. The most cost efficient way to accomplish
enterprise goals is to monitor the activity within an enterprise
BI application. These solutions are now at a point where
they can provide each enterprise the custom functionality
they need and even on a real-time basis. The
business analytics world refers to this as Business Activity
Monitoring (BAM).
| According to a study by IBM,
approximately every nine months, the amount of data
in an enterprise doubles as companies continue to store
information about customers, inventory, employees and
operations. Many businesses have been forced to develop
strategies to manage excess inventories and reduce costs
to maintain profitability. |
