There are always reports of hospitality businesses going into receivership, closing down, or downsizing their operations in the national and industry press. With regards to your hospitality business, you don’t want to risk losing what has taken so much time and effort to build up. With this in mind, Polaris put together a fantastic read “Keeping your doors open”. Bringing your business through the latest economic downturn is the aim of this e-book.
So, what can you do to make sure your hospitality business doesn’t suffer the same fate?
- Train staff to work more efficiently and where you can bring in hardware to assist staff is a great idea – self-service kiosks and mobile POS are a no brainer across hospitality!
- Create an atmosphere where employees are encouraged to take initiative, learn new skill sets, and develop their career. Perhaps even offer incentives for new ideas that will improve your business – especially those with low costs or no cost at all.
- Change the menu from time to time; it’s important not to have a static menu as this will bore customers and make them less likely to return. Also encourage customers to recommend dishes they enjoyed, so you can incorporate these into your next menu revisions.
- Offer discounts on menu items during certain periods; this can be as simple as ‘happy hour’ where drinks are half price between 6pm-8pm each night, or even BOGOF offer on different days of the week.
- Introduce Polaris Elements software and AURES hardware that works with your business requirements
- fast, efficient checkout
- CRM integration to drive more personalised service
- automated up-sell and cross-sell cues to boost average basket value
- flexible fulfilment options at the self-service kiosk, such as arranging collect from bar or deliver to table
- instant information about stock availability and other product details
- real-time reporting tools that will help retailers gain up-to-date insights into everything from the impact of promotions to changes to merchandising
With the right amount of adjustment, these are just a few areas you can alter to stabilize your business. As a result, profitability, longevity, and overall business processes will be improved. Why not head over to the Polaris website and download their e-book “Keeping your doors open” today, for more practical advice to get your businesses through the latest economic crisis. You will not be disappointed!
