  • Chicken, portioned: 2.4 points above ideal, the largest gap in the report.
  • Cheese, shredded: 1.8 points above ideal, concentrated in two stores.
  • Beef, seasoned: 1.1 points above ideal.

All other items are within 0.6 points of ideal.

Before we used a spreadsheet where we have to type out manually, now with Altametrics we have a better approach to forecasting, scheduling hours, deployment of labor, who's taking a break when, and effective cross-training.

Since we started using Altametrics, we have been able to get our labor deployment and labor forecasting much more accurate than any prior systems that we've used.

My Hong Kong team can opt to see all their business intelligence reporting in US dollars and that reporting is done on the fly to make it very valuable for the team in that market.

What Altametrics business intelligence is doing for my operators is telling them where they need to put most of their attention. So to me, that is a tool that doesn't exist anywhere else. Everyone should use it.

The food management products are an integral part of how we operate our business. So it's not just restaurant software, it is part of our culture.

Food safety with Altametrics has become much easier which means we can devote more time to helping our guests and seeing their smiles on their faces.

The ability to go in and do the inventory on a weekly basis and do all of our receiving within that system. Also for it to forecast orders out is really starting to make the analytics and the insight into how we better control our cost just improve tenfold.

Sales forecasting has improved greatly since implementing eRestaurant it is much more consistent. It takes the guesswork basically out of evaluation in forecasting.

As a franchise company, we need to know what all the sales are in our stores so Altametrics Business Intelligence was able to develop a system that could get that information for us.
