There are many ways to look at a business and see its success. The number of people queuing up to order. The number of tickets flapping on the chefs pass, about to be plated up. The number of coffee orders spiked next to the coffee machine. At a glance it is sometimes hard to see how a business is going, especially when you are an owner or operator who is not physically at the business every day.
2021 UPDATE:
Successful venue owners and operators are revolutionising how they run their business with our ControlCentre App. Whether you are managing a new, established, or franchise hospitality business, there are numerous benefits to access POS data in real-time. Hear from our venues on why they find live POS data useful!
OrderMate’s Control Centre was developed to combat that hurdle. No longer will reports be a weekly or monthly activity. Control Centre gives decision makers up to the minute – live data directly from the POS system.
On face value the Control Centre Web App provides a “snapshot” of how a business is going for the day, for the week and for the month – compared to the same time in the previous period. The result being a comprehensive and analytical assessment of how your business is going in real time. Tony Roussos from The Quarter in Degraves see Control centre as a “quick and useful tool that allows me it to stay at close reach to my business at all times. It gives me a quick a simplified snapshot of the day’s events, very useful when you’re a busy person constantly on the move.”
But wait there is more.
