Restaurants:

If you own or manage more than one restaurants, you need Business Intelligence [BI] for your sites.

You need to see Key Performance Indicators [KPIs] that include your revenue, transactions, labor, average per table, average per guest, minutes per table turn, profitability, etc. - for each restaurant in one central location or from your headquarters - and you want to know that information right now - in real time.

SLIM Data Online is the tool for you.

SLIM's Dashboard gives you a quick, clear picture instantly so you can see in you are on plan in your key areas.

SLIM also provides Key Performance Indicators [KPIs] to you in graphs so that you can quickly and easily manage your restaurant at a glance. KPIs for restaurants include: average per check, average per person, minutes per table turn, minutes per transaction, etc. You need to compare this information by restaurant, by server, for this year, last year, and against your forecast and projections.

SLIM gathers all of the data and transactions from each of your restaurants, and then sends the data to one single SLIM database [a database that you own- it's your data, not ours].

Once SLIM gathers the information, you can look at individual restaurants, aggregate reports across several [or all] sites, compare restaurants against plan, or drill down in to your line item detail - and you can do it from wherever you have an Internet connection - even on compatible cell phones and PDAs.

Flexibility
Multi-site restaurant operations often have multiple concepts, multiple point-of-sale systems, and a wide variety of additional operational systems [or a combination of all of these]. Getting real time information is often difficult.

Up until now, getting that information quickly - for all systems and all of your properties - was nearly impossible without spending tens of thousands of dollars - because most systems are not flexible enough to work and play nicely with each other.

Until SLIM Data Online.

SLIM does not serve one restaurant or one system - it serves you. SLIM gathers and interprets data from all of your restaurants so that you have the information at your fingertips to act now - when it counts.

Expandability
Suppose that you are adding another restaurant site. Naturally, you want the same real time, actionable data you are getting from your other sites in the same format that you are used to reading.

With SLIM, it's easy. SLIM can serve a single site or handle thousands of sites.

SLIM is a simple $100 per month per restaurant. There is no upfront fee. There is no contract. It's really that simple!

SLIM data integrates with Visual Remote, enabling you to view your restaurant operations and also to actually see POS transactions from the bars and cashiers embedded as text on the video in real time - either locally or via the Internet - as they occur.

And you can search the video by unusual transactions - stuff like No Sales or Void Transaction.
