How to Cut Costs Using Unified Restaurant Management Software?

In an industry that is dynamic as well as low margin, it is important to track your food costs. Various restaurants suffer food wastage because of a lack of proper technology and proper cost-cutting techniques. As the restaurants get struck by the massive competition, limited seating, and rising price of the ingredients, they need to optimize ingredient usage, buying, and cutting wastage. An ideal Restaurant Management Software helps manage raw ingredients, spillage, menu prices, and food wastage while assisting the ways to minimize wastage. LS Retail is one such software that delivers a comprehensive set of tools and functionalities to help entrepreneurs run their business optimally while minimizing waste. In the food and beverages industry, food costs are a major expense. An excellent restaurant management software like LS Retail helps you connect sales, inventory, and kitchen within the same platform while delivering everything you need in a unified manner. Such a platform delivers complete transparency over your inventory and synchronizes inventory to recipe management. You will automatically receive notifications when you need to add a new inventory while subtracting the items already exhausted. Some software offers enough flexibility to adjust inventory on phones to remove some items that fall from the jar, spoiled meat, rotten vegetables, and so on. Manage warehouse inventory like a piece of cake with automatic inventory tracking. Track where your inventory is headed. Check if the space is properly optimized so you can adjust more of it in there. Keep the environment favorable to increase the durability of your items. Apart from this, other ways help you cut food costs. Manage Your Yield An ideal yield management software enables you to know the actual yield of an ingredient; how much of the total ingredient is being used. For Instance, if you need 5 kg of meat to cook a dish, not the whole 5 kg is going to be used, the bones might get discarded in the process. Yield management computes the exact quantity of the stock that will be used and based on the same, it updates the inventory. It further eliminates the risk of over-ordering or under-ordering while reducing restaurant costs. Keep Tabs on the Variations Variance is another essential aspect that plays a massive role in cost-cutting. An ideal restaurant management system can make it easier for you. The variance is the difference between the actual ingredients consumers versus the ideal food costs. A variation of 3-5% is acceptable. However, any variation above that is a matter of concern. To cut food costs, regular variance monitoring is necessary. You can identify the source of high food costs while bringing down the overall restaurant costs. Standardize Recipe and Cut Waste Having a restaurant management system that standardizes your recipes can help you manage costs. How? The recipe management system records every ingredient and the right amount to prepare a dish. While preparing a meal, the chef already has the recipe available with the right amount of each ingredient. Hence, it reduces the chances of errors. It is one of the most key features because several times your chef might mix up a few wrong ingredients, now the dish cannot be served, resulting in discarding the whole dish and adding to the restaurant costs. Reduce Pressure While Cutting Labor Cost Labor costs are one of the major costs in a restaurant. Therefore, it is crucial to monitor them. Of Course, hiring them is a time-consuming process. However, retaining them is not something restaurants have mastered so far. Managing labor is a costly and time-consuming affair. The enormous industrial pressure drives them to switch jobs. One of the easiest methods to retain your staff is to adopt robust restaurant management software that automates manual tasks and reduces pressure while letting your staff work with greater efficiency. Hand-over Monotonous to Automation Billing has always been a labor-intensive and monotonous task. However, now the time has changed since a restaurant management system can automate the billing process. Not just this, it also integrates the back office to the front under the same platform while streamlining complex tasks. You no longer must look for someone who is trained to manage these tasks. Apart from billing, a KDS reduces your dependency on manual labor. It ensures that when a server receives an order, it is displayed on the right kitchen screen. Apart from this, when there are changes in the order, it also flashes on the screen right away. Therefore, ensuring low dependency on manual labor. LS Retail is a unified Restaurant Management Software that delivers a comprehensive set of restaurant management tools under one umbrella. Trident Information Systems is a Gold LS Retail and Microsoft Partner and has served various business ventures of distinct levels. For further information, contact us.

Factors Leading to Food Quality Compromises While Manufacturing

Microsoft Dynamics 365 / Trident

You need to work faster and more carefully while complying with the quality standards during manufacturing food products. Food manufacturing needs more attention than any other industry. Since people consume the products directly, manufacturers need to take extra care of hygiene. Many factors could lead to food quality compromises. A unified software such as Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Food and Beverages can provide great assistance. It helps manage all your vendors and ensures the freshness of raw material. It also ensures hygiene-standard compliance while balancing production with demands. Factors affecting the food quality might include: Personnel hygiene Foreign particle invasion Lack of fresh raw material availability Disbalance in production and demand Equipment used Poor refrigeration Poor Food Hygiene Many factors could contribute to poor food quality. Purchasing inferior quality or stale food negatively influences the ultimate product. Apart from this, storing in inappropriate conditions, cooking more than what is needed, and letting it sit in unfavorable environments can cause further quality problems. Manufacturers should mind storing raw and cooked food together as well. If the food is contaminated at any point: from production to consumption, the quality is compromised, of course, depending on the conditions, PH levels, and humidity level of the place they are kept at. Therefore, proper warehouse management is necessary. Dynamics 365 for food manufacturing delivers a suite for excellent warehouse management, so the manufacturers can appropriately classify assorted products while discarding expired material. Foreign Particle Invasion There are chances that the food might get some foreign particles involved such as small animals, dust particles, stones, insects, etc. such contamination needs thorough checking. Human eyes might sometimes fail to see them. Hence, automatic defect detection is required. There are several cases in the world where people sue a company for delivering products with such contaminations. Such particles can do severe damage to the food quality, human health, and your organization’s reputation. Trident Information Systems offers one such service called Intelligent Machine Vision System, which can detect FMCG product’s defects, foreign particles, the right spectrum of color while ensuring excellent quality of material crossing through the conveyor belt. Inability to Balance Demand and Production Sometimes, the manufacturers face a demand rise by surprise, whereas, and sometimes, it is the opposite. When demand rises, all of a sudden, a manufacturer might compromise on the raw material quality to produce more in a brief time. However, when the scenario is opposite, manufacturers might produce more than the demand, and a lot of it goes to waste. Since FMCG products are perishable, they need to be consumed immediately. If not consumed for long, they become unusable. Demand forecasting is an essential part of commencing manufacturing. Lack of accurate demand prediction can lead to situations where the manufacturer compromises with the food quality. Microsoft Dynamics excels in demand forecasting. Accompanied by its BI technology, manufacturers can easily forecast demands to avoid wastage and keep up with the quality standards. Personal Hygiene of Food Handlers Hygiene is the top priority when the world is struck by Covid-19. Especially in FMCG production, where human hygiene can greatly impact the end product. The food-handling personnel should assume proper hygiene and should not have any disease. They should also undergo regular medical checkups and get their temperatures checked before entering the factory. Their hands should be sanitized and must ensure appropriate food handling behavior. They should always have their caps, masks, aprons, and gloves on while treating food. The equipment they use must be sanitized after every interval. An automatic Vision Quality Analysis can be effective, like Trident’s Intelligent Vision System detects if every person wears the PPE they are assigned. It also detects cross contaminations and other detects. Poor Refrigeration The temperature plays a huge role in FMCG manufacturing. The products, whether raw or end, need appropriate refrigeration to last long. Poor refrigeration can give shelter to several bacteria and viruses leading to food poisoning. Therefore, it is essential to manage temperature for storage, preservation, transportation, and distribution of frozen, chilled, or food-grade materials. If not done properly, it can end up ruining your whole production, inviting several harmful bacteria, fungus, viruses, and so on. While manufacturing, the producer needs to take care of the hygiene of his staff and food while preventing any foreign particle invasion. It is necessary to balance production and demand. Otherwise, it can lead to excess or insufficient food produced, compromising the quality in both cases. Personal hygiene of the food handler and appropriate refrigeration are also extremely important for maintaining food quality. Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Food and Beverages, offers everything a manufacturer needs to keep up with the food quality. Trident Information Systems is a Gold Microsoft Dynamics 365 Partner, who additionally delivers Intelligent Machine Vision System for manufacturing defect detection and PPE detection.

How Manufacturing Industry Transformed using Microsoft Dynamics 365

Uncategorized / Trident Information Systems

The future of manufacturing will be defined by the quality of investments companies are making today In the not too distant past, efforts in manufacturing to optimize productivity and increase customer satisfaction were viewed as separate endeavors. Today, the convergence of physical and digital trends is disrupting these kinds of assumptions. Manufacturers today care about integrated digital and physical systems, improved visibility, increased efficiency, additional flexibility, and lower costs. They want to connect equipment and factories, leveraging data from the factory floor to the customer call center to improve every aspect of their operations. But this is just the beginning. Digitization is fundamentally changing the way manufacturers do business, enabling a customer-centric approach while optimizing operations. Digitally empowered manufacturers engage customers throughout the product lifecycle from design to field service. They sell value-add services to complement the product sales, opening new revenue streams and strengthening their customer relationships. And they are revolutionizing delivery of these differentiated services, using technology like augmented reality to combine the eyes of a technician in the field with the insights of an expert back at headquarters. Capitalizing on these trends isn’t limited to large, well-resourced manufacturers. Across all kinds of manufacturing operations, the opportunity to digitize and transform your business has never been more accessible. Imagine your business transformed The Microsoft vision for supporting digital manufacturing embraces the seismic shifts in the industry today. We’ve created solutions that provide a unified and flexible approach across front office and production floor processes. Our approach enables transformation in six ways: Optimize supply chain operations through better visibility and collaboration By collecting, integrating, and visualizing global supply chain data worldwide, manufacturers gain better visibility into their operations from production to sales. For example, one of the world’s largest industrial automation firms found that by automating the collection and analysis of data from remote installations across the petroleum supply chain, they strengthened their competitive advantage with a faster time to market. Improved access to supply chain data is also the basis for better collaboration across production, supply, service, and sales. Streamline the management of assets, products, and production With a consolidated view that unifies process oversight and provides real-time insight, manufacturers can institutionalize efficiency gains and use connected devices to monitor and resolve issues remotely. One leading manufacturer of industrial robots enabled 24-hour continuous uptime using this approach. The additional insights into production and customer usage also allow manufacturers to provide value-added services like ongoing monitoring and proactive support. Engage customers in powerful new ways To deliver personalized and contextual engagement across any channel, manufacturers must provide customers with more visibility and build trust through fast and convenient responses. This engagement approach is built on a combination of predictive analytics, the ability to deliver value-added services at scale, and guided or self-directed service that’s relevant to customer needs. With the implementation of a connected platform for sales through service, a leading home technology manufacturer not only solved potential problems remotely before customers ever felt the impact, but provided custom differentiated offerings based on unique customer usage and purchasing history. Transform service centers into profit centers Thanks to the ever-decreasing cost of IoT sensors, sophisticated mobile devices, and cloud-based data aggregation, manufacturers can improve service quality and margins by offering remote monitoring and proactive maintenance services that supplement break/fix support. By more intelligently coordinating technicians equipped with mobile and virtual reality tools, companies can leverage existing expertise and minimize costly engagements. A leading tire service and manufacturing company found that by combining customer records, technician availability, and back-end inventory in a single mobile-friendly system, it could provide a seamless user experience as well as improve its service delivery. understand their business more deeply, from customer usage through supply chain sourcing and production. With IoT-enabled parts, assets, and products, manufacturers can gain the insights needed to innovate. Data from connected products and equipment can empower developers, engineers, and technicians to collaborate. For example, teams can identify overengineered or faulty components and track product usage in the field to improve future designs. When a leading information and communication technology company implemented remote monitoring, they decreased time to production as well as accelerated the cycle of innovation using a data-driven approach. Empower employees to work more effectively When a company can provide 360-degree views of customer assets and work order history, technicians are empowered by a better understanding of not only the job in front of them, but of other similar and successful field service engagements. This goes hand in hand with empowering service agents to provide instant feedback, using machine learning to find and follow similar cases for successful troubleshooting, and scheduling a visit or evaluation. A leading auto manufacturer wanted to save money by unifying their siloed customer service and customer engagement while providing employees with better tools to understand customer sentiment. To accomplish this, it implemented a system to connect production and project management with their customer relationship management systems in order to deliver personalized service and recommendations to their customers. Introducing Microsoft Dynamics 365 For manufacturers, Microsoft Dynamics 365 ends the artificial divide between CRM and ERP systems and supplements necessary capabilities with rich analytics, embedded intelligence, and the convenience people expect from consumer apps on their phone or tablet. Dynamics 365 unites the front office and the back office with a single end-to-end system for managing every aspect of your business, at the pace and scale that’s right for you. Digital transformation isn’t accomplished overnight and leveraging current investments is a key component of any successful approach. With Microsoft, you can optimize across all your processes while laying the foundation for connecting advanced technology in the future.
