Top 5 Reasons Restaurateurs Can't Sleep at Night

1. Employees
Employees. Sometimes you can't live with them. And you certainly can't live without them. On top of that, they are the single largest drain on your cash flow. So choosing your staff wisely and then training them well is essential to your success. At Nextaurant our state-of-the-art training and employee management tools can help you put together a lean, mean, serving machine.

2. Food margins
Number two on the cost parade is food. So figuring out how much to charge for each dish is vital. Don't charge enough and you lose money. Charge too much and you can lose even more. Add to this complicated equation waste, spoilage, and employee "snacks" and you have a problem that requires more than a calculator. What you need is the cost out experience of Nextaurant.

3. Procurement
How many vendors can you see in one day and still do what a restaurant should do: serve meals. And even if you see all the vendors, what kind of buying power do you have? In the restaurant business it really is you against the big corporations. Nextaurant can help you get the buying power to fight the giants. We can simplify the vendor-management process. We even can help with the single worst function in any restaurant: inventory.

4. Inability to pay themselves
If you wanted to work for free you'd volunteer at a soup kitchen. But how many times has cash flow required that you "hold your paycheck" so you can pay everyone else. Or maybe you're profitable as long as you're in the restaurant. Unfortunately you can't be there 24/7. Nextaurant has the tools, techniques and skills that will help you make money. And take a day off.

5. Worry about bringing customers in the door
Build it and they will come might work in the movies, but not in the restaurant business. If you want to fill every seat in the house you need to market your business. Coupons can work. Customer loyalty programs can be effective. Advertising can certainly play a role. But like every dish on your menu these must be prepared correctly. When it comes to designing, developing and implementing an integrated marketing program Nextaurant knows how to cook up something special.

You know how to make a restaurant popular. We know how to make it profitable.
