As food prices rise and shortages continue, customers are challenged to manage their at-home food costs, often patronizing multiple grocery stores to find the most affordable prices to comprise a single meal. But as of December 2021, the Department of Labor recorded that the average price for groceries has risen faster than the cost of ordering food and drinks from local restaurants.* As a result, more customers will likely turn to their favorite local restaurants to buy consistent, convenient, and cost-effective meals, supporting their families and their community especially when ordering pre-made meal kits. For restaurants, navigating price changes and food shortages requires actively managing inventory and engineering their menus in order to offer customers food and drink items that provide their business with the highest possible profit. With native inventory and digital menu solutions from Aldelo Express and Masa+, restaurants can do just that. Restaurant owners can make changes to digital menu configurations based on item inventory, accessing secure dashboard and in-depth reporting in a cloud back-office environment, enabling them to manage their entire restaurant operation efficiently and effectively anytime, anywhere.
By turning excess ingredients into new menu items, restaurants can save potentially hundreds of dollars a month from otherwise unused inventory
In addition to offering popular items that attract hungry customers, owners and operators can use item sales reports and inventory logs from Aldelo Express to determine their highest profit items by comparing sale performances to food costs. Once owners determine their most profitable food and drink items, they quickly configure the restaurant’s Masa+ digital menus, updating items and pricing in real-time or with scheduled changes.
By turning excess ingredients into new menu items, restaurants can also save potentially hundreds of dollars a month from otherwise unused inventory and recurring menu printing costs. Restaurants can use extra ingredients to sell to customers individually, or package ingredients with recipes in take-home meal kits. As a natively developed software integration from Aldelo Express, all Masa+ digital solutions are offered at no additional cost, saving restaurant owners hundreds or even thousands of dollars over the life of their system.
Aldelo Express Cloud POS offers business owners and operators complete visibility of their business from a single inventory item to the performance of every menu item sold, enabling the restaurant to optimize their menu based on customer demand.
