Do you own or manage a restaurant? If so you need to know about these 10 Restaurant Management Apps. This list has everything from Customer Payment Apps to Employee Time & Attendance Apps. Throw out the pen and paper processes, it’s time to start running your business on your smartphone.
Orderly
If you’re extremely tired and frustrated with the endless paper trail you leave when ordering, invoicing and managing inventory then praise the lord…
Orderly is here. Their list of features include:
- Price trends with their Food Spending Dashboard.
- Orderly automatically captures the line-item details from your invoices and online connections.
- Their restaurant ordering app lets you place shelf-to-sheet orders from your phone or tablet with any of your existing suppliers.
What we like about Orderly:
Their Snap App will capture invoice images, price amounts, line-item detail, and all your existing supplier information, this makes restaurant management so simple. All you have to do is simply flag invoices for approval and provide your team with access… anywhere, anytime.
OrderLord
OrderLord takes restaurants food delivery service to a whole new level. They can help you track drivers, manage deliveries, and delight customers. Here are just a few of their many different features:
- Restaurants can see all incoming orders from your website, phone, and App in one place.
- Plan more efficient routes for your drivers according to location and data from previous deliveries.
- Real-time tracking so you know exactly where your drivers are and if they are delayed.
What we like about OrderLord:
Their track and updates feature aren’t just solely for the restaurant’s management team, the customers can also view in real time where their delivery drivers are and their expected time of arrival. Also, customers can rate their overall experience on the OrderLord App, from the food to the delivery process. This provides restaurants with invaluable data.
Uncorkd
There is no doubt that keeping track of and pairing an extensive wine list is one of the hardest tasks within a restaurant. Uncorkd is an iPad App that acts as a wine menu and educator for your customers.
Uncorkd will give your customers:
- A virtual tour of your wine cellar
- Information on each bottle in terms of region, age & price
- Recommend pairings for each bottle of wine
- Show them the different deals/specials that are on your menu each week.
What we like about Uncorkd:
Wine was never my strong suit, so the fact that this software stores all the information on each bottle and the suited food pairings are a huge selling point. The up-selling possibilities with this App are something we love.
Snagajob
Your people are the most important part of your business. Finding great people can be a tough job, thankfully Snag A Job is here to make life a bit easier.
What we like about Snagajob:
We love the fact that you can Review applicants, schedule interviews and hire straight from your Snagajob account, so everything is organised and completed in one place rather than a thread of random emails.
Yelp Reservations
Yelp Reservations is a Restaurant Reservation Service that has access to over 85 million unique mobile users each month. Not too many Apps can boast that statistic. Their features include:
- Table management: this allows restaurants keep track of their entire floor at a glance and assign servers to each table.
- Guestbook: This allows restaurants to know customer preferences and special occasions. Restaurants can use guests details for future marketing campaigns too.
- Waitlist: Allows you to send customizable SMS messages to your customers when their table is ready.
What we like about Yelp Reservations:
Being able to take reservations from your website and Yelp page is a superb feature. It means that you can be taking reservations and making money while you are asleep! The system also automatically confirms and reminds guests, so you don’t have to.
ReviewTrackers
Reviews can make or break your business so it’s always good to be on top of them. Logging into multiple websites to monitor and reply to reviews is a pain, but this is a thing of the past thanks to ReviewTrackers.
What we like about ReviewTrackers:
Not only does this software track what reviews are being put online, you can actively request reviews from your customers.
Revel
