Orderly is built to save restaurant owners money, time, and a bit of sanity. We love hearing how Orderly has helped them out – from the big picture to the little things they may never have thought possible.
And we want to share these stories with you.
As a restaurant owner, you’re constantly placing orders.
Which means you’re always in contact with your restaurant suppliers.
Yet, you still haven’t put any processes in place. You just keep blindly ordering over and over.
When you’re not being thorough with your orders, restaurant suppliers can take advantage. And that can cost you.
Orderly is here to help restaurant owners run a smarter business. And we can’t do that if we’re just giving you our perspective. This week our CEO takes a look at technology in restaurants.
Is it useful? How can it be used? Why does it usually suck?
Restaurant owners often want to solve problems with brute force.
They push to count a full inventory. Or they require employees to do it. Then they yell at them for not being accurate, or for ordering too much.
That approach doesn’t work. It just pisses everyone off. And it still leaves you with inaccurate results.
That’s why at Orderly, we use a data-driven approach to numbers.
The words “taking restaurant inventory” are enough to make you and your staff cringe and scatter in 20 different directions.
You’ve tried taking it yourself. But every time you pick up the pen and clipboard, there are a dozen other fires to put out. So you put it off.
You tried getting staff to do it. And it… Didn’t go too well.
So you’re thinking about opening a second restaurant.
You feel ready for expansion. Sales are good. Profits seem up. And you’re ready to show a whole new market what your food can do.
But there are some big questions you need to ask yourself before you get started.
You always hear about ways to “Get Rich Quick” in your restaurant.
You get emails hawking products that cost thousands. But they maybe save you hundreds.
So, when it comes to running a restaurant, making more money isn’t about a flip of the switch.
Orderly is here to help restaurant owners run a smarter business. And we can’t do that if we’re just giving you our perspective.
So each month our CEO, Bill Jones, takes a deep dive into a topic of his choosing. He’s got thoughts, tips, and things to watch out for – all designed to help you out. This week, he dives into food costing software and how it may be the answer to all your restaurant foes.
At Orderly, we understand how to run a restaurant.
Why? Because we’re made up of people who have worked in restaurants their entire lives. We’ve got former bussers, line cooks, General Managers… If it’s a position in a restaurant, we’ve got someone who’s been there.
And with those years of experience comes years of knowledge.
