Key сhallenges in the restaurant industry
Running a restaurant today means constantly navigating a maze of operational problems that directly affect profits and service quality. Among the most pressing:
Chef shortages & High labor costs
Hiring experienced chefs is increasingly difficult due to labor shortages and rising salaries. At the same time, menu development often requires costly consultants and takes weeks of work.
Inefficient inventory & Procurement
Manual inventory tracking leads to waste, over-ordering, or shortages. On top of that, procurement is often based on intuition, not data — opening doors to errors, overspending, and even corruption.
Poorvisibility into guest preferences
Understanding guest behavior requires deep data analysis: from seasonal trends and local events to shifting consumer habits. Without it, restaurants are forced to guess what works.
Marketing that’s expensive — and often ineffective
Promoting your brand and attracting guests means investing in targeting, trend research, content, and ongoing campaign management. But most businesses don’t have the time, expertise, or tools to run this effectively.
Operational risks & Lack of control
The lack of digital systems for feedback, inventory, and supplier control can lead to theft, low accountability, and lost profits. Relying on spreadsheets and manual processes simply doesn’t cut it anymore.
