Introduction
In an exciting move to streamline restaurant management, Goals Co., Ltd., based in Minato, Tokyo, has announced a partnership between its cloud service series, HANZO, and Toshiba Tec Corporation's point-of-sale (POS) system, FScompassNS. This collaboration aims to revolutionize the way restaurants operate, providing them with robust tools to enhance operational efficiency and profitability.
Overview of HANZO Series
The HANZO series automates essential tasks that were previously carried out manually, such as revenue forecasting, ingredient ordering calculations, and determining optimal staffing levels based on sales. This cloud-based service empowers restaurant owners and management to take control of operating procedures and cost management effectively. By integrating sales data—comprising revenue, customer volume, and itemized sales figures—HANZO enhances decision-making through precise analytics.
With this newly formed alliance, users of Toshiba Tec's FScompassNS will have their necessary data seamlessly integrated into HANZO, facilitating efficient operations. The partnership leverages Toshiba Tec’s accurate data on real-time sales coupled with Goals' sophisticated AI forecasting technology, creating a potent combination that supports better management practices.
Toshiba Tec's Contribution
Toshiba Tec's FScompassNS POS system is designed with high operational efficiency in mind, prioritizing user-friendly interfaces and varied operational styles. This system is built to support front-line staff by speeding up the payment and ordering processes. Through reducing the burden on staff and streamlining store operations, Toshiba Tec enables restaurant operators to focus on growth initiatives.
Key Features of HANZO Series
Automated Ordering
One of HANZO's standout features is its automated ordering system. The AI-driven forecasts take into account variations in sales due to weather conditions and recent order trends, delivering tailor-made ingredient ordering decisions for each location. This approach minimizes ordering mishaps and helps prevent stockouts and overstocking, thereby reducing psychological strain on staff and minimizing food waste.
AI-Assisted Order Management
The AI system calculates predicted consumption volumes and delivery schedules, breaking this down by each type of ingredient or supply. This enables responsible staff to validate current inventory levels against AI-generated figures easily, ensuring accurate ordering quantities for optimal inventory management.
Cost Analysis
HANZO employs a data-driven approach to cost management by mapping the theoretical usage of ingredients against actual usage for each menu item. This analytical visualization highlights cost variances per location and ingredient, enabling restaurants to formulate effective strategies for cost improvements.
Labor Cost Management
Using AI-generated sales forecasts for up to 45 days ahead, HANZO suggests customer volume estimates and necessary staffing levels by time period. This feature assists in creating shifts without overstaffing or understaffing, allowing restaurant managers to establish monthly sales plans without requiring extensive skill sets.
Conclusion
The collaboration between HANZO and Toshiba Tec represents a significant advancement in the restaurant management field, integrating technology to foster operational efficiency and drive profitability. Both companies are committed to supporting sustained business growth through innovative solutions. For more information, restaurants can visit the
