How Can Multi-Location Restaurants Enable Profitability with the Deliverect Suite?

Multi-location restaurants face a myriad of challenges to their profit margins, including:

• Maintaining consistency of service and food quality across locations to keep orders coming in

• Trying to control food costs amid complex supply chains and price uncertainty

• Keeping track of critical metrics and restaurant data across distant locations

Profitability across multiple sites is all about consistency of product and service, controlling costs, and ensuring you serve customers as efficiently as possible. Get these three components right, and you can all but guarantee healthy margins.

Deliverect offers restaurant management solutions designed to address these challenges head-on. Let’s look at how specific features deal with each aspect of restaurant operations to ensure profitability.

How to Maintain Profitability with Deliverect

Controlling costs, keeping customers coming in, and ensuring streamlined and efficient operations are key to maintaining profitability across locations.

Here’s how Deliverect’s restaurant management tools help in each area. 

Reducing Operational Costs

Deliverect’s automation features and integrations are central to minimizing labor and error-related costs. Let’s take a look at how:

Central Menu Management

Deliverect’s menu management features offer substantial time savings for staff. In the past, restaurants faced the prospect of managing multiple menus on different platforms and channels.

This meant staff had to:

• Log into multiple devices and platforms to view or add menus

• Send emails to make even the slightest changes to partner menus

• Wait for hours or even days for updates from delivery partners

This made it time-consuming and labor-intensive to make changes and almost guaranteed that customers would get a different experience on different platforms.

With Deliverect, your menu is kept up-to-date and accurate in one place, and all updates are pushed out automatically to the delivery platforms. This means fewer staff hours are used to manually chase updates, leading to reduced labor costs.

POS Integrations

Deliverect integrates with all the major POS providers, allowing online, delivery, and in-store orders to flow into one system. By streamlining the order intake process, Deliverect eliminates the need for manual order entry, reducing the number of staff needed to manage orders and reducing costly errors. 

Back-of-house Integrations

Deliverect doesn’t just integrate with POS systems, delivery partners, and in-house dining apps. Integrations with systems like Apicbase, Square, Toast, and others allow Deliverect to share data with the industry’s leading inventory and purchasing management software.

For restaurants, this opens up opportunities to improve the efficiency of stock management and purchasing, reduce waste, lower food costs, and improve supply chain management—all of which lead to tangible cost reductions.

Increasing Order Volume

Expanding your online presence is crucial, with more and more customers ordering digitally. Deliverect enables restaurants to easily manage orders from various online delivery platforms through a single interface. And if you have your own ordering website and app, all of this can be integrated, too.

With an increase in order volume comes operational challenges. How are you going to handle producing more food? Deliverect’s Kitchen Display System is directly connected to the rest of the Deliverect platform. That means all your orders flow seamlessly from delivery channels, POS, and other systems to the kitchen on digital screens.

The system helps prioritize and organize all your current orders, making it easier and faster to prepare your dishes – and enabling you to cope with more orders without overwhelming the kitchen.

Deliverect helps you reach more customers without adding complexity or costs to your existing operations. You can take advantage of a wider pool of customers and increase order volumes without proportionately increasing the workload on your staff.

Optimizing Menu and Pricing

With all your restaurant data safely stored in one system, Deliverect gives you insights into optimizing your menu offerings and pricing for maximum profit margins and customer retention. By analyzing order trends and customer preferences, you can decide when to make menu changes, adjust pricing, and advertise special offers. 

For example, if you notice a Sunday afternoon slump in orders, you could look at the numbers and create a new special offer to attract more orders. Deliverect even has marketing and loyalty features to help you spread the word about your latest offering.

This data-driven approach ensures that your offerings resonate with your target audience, enhancing customer satisfaction and profitability.

Streamlining Delivery and Fulfillment

Efficient order dispatch and delivery are crucial for customer satisfaction and repeat business. If customers wait too long and receive disappointing food at home, they won’t order again. 

Deliverect’s Delivery Manager App allows you to manage and oversee all your delivery orders in one place, from anywhere. You can manage menus, assign drivers, and view order status for multiple brands across multiple channels from a single dashboard.

Delighting customers with efficient, on-time deliveries is crucial to achieving long-term loyalty. Deliverect is built to optimize the delivery process, ensuring that orders are promptly and accurately dispatched. This added efficiency improves the customer experience and encourages repeat orders, contributing to sustained profitability.

Ensure Sustained Profitability with Deliverect

For multi-location restaurants, profitability is directly tied to operational efficiency, cost control, and customer satisfaction, mainly when operating in a competitive digital market. 

Deliverect offers a comprehensive suite of tools designed to tackle these challenges, enabling restaurants to streamline operations, expand their online presence, and optimize their menus for maximum profitability. 

By leveraging Deliverect to its fullest extent, you can ensure consistency across locations and continue to delight customers however they order your food.
