Such adept buyers have no doubt that before you buy a house, you must have all possible advice that can help you make an knowledgeable judgment about the purchase available.

How to use your Restaurant Point of Sale System to control labor cost

Not so long ago, controlling labor cost for food-service establishments was done by just going with the flow. Effective labor control meant having just enough people on hand during a rush to keep the operation running smoothly, and by sending people home as quickly as possible as the rush descends.

Restaurant managers kept track of business from previous weeks in order to make projections of future sales, and then laboriously converted those numbers into an employee schedule. And at night when the restaurant closes, the manager sits down on his desk calculating time cards for the day’s labor percentage where success or failure of those efforts is determined.

Luckily today, these manual tasks are eliminated by using a restaurant point of sale system where managers no longer need to do things by hand. Continue reading ‘Using Restaurant Point of Sale System To Control Labor Cost’ »

Life has a lot of things going for it. You would think that the 5 F’s of life would not be any of them. But they are. If any of you have your mind in the gutter on what the 5 F’s are, now is the time to clean that out. (hehehe)

The 5 F’s, once understood and worked on, can lead to success in your life in so many ways. The 5 F’s simply are Faith, Fitness, Family, Friends and Finance. Faith is one of those topics that people have thoughts and ideas on, but is kind of ignored in general conversation. Most of this fear of talking about this is that they want to not offend others. Also, the thought is that things have to be kept separate. We can’t talk about our faith at work too much, in schools, with others. There is a distinct reason that it’s listed first. It really is the most important. If you take a look behind the scenes of just about all successful people, you will find the importance that faith played in that success. There are countless articles and experiments out there that have connected faith to being a healthier, happy, and satisfying life. Continue reading ‘Life’s 5 F’s – Great Guidelines’ »

As a business you will always face competition. In the past, companies have shown various ways to increase their resistance to adversity. I certainly do not advocate longevity; in fact I think that if a company exists for more than 10 years, it is probably underperforming.

For the moment I will suggest 6 ways to improve a company’s resistance to competition;

• Be difficult to copy. This might sound rather obvious but it has certain facets that might not have been thought of.
  - Intellectual Capital, (copyright, trademark, patent, systems, process, innovation etc etc,) is one of the most powerful.
  - Exclusivity (hard to create,) ie government sponsored monopoly, distribution and licence agreements. On principal I disagree with some of these modes of business because it is anti-competitive.
  - Large asset based production, where the barriers to entry are high.
• Promote the value of product not the price. Pricing is transient, value can be sustained. This also means not a monetary value, but a value in the mind of he customer. It could be “more functions than X brand, works better than Y brand, but uses more resources than Z brand.”
• Maintain a Brand. If you continually reinforce a space in your customers mind, it is difficult for you to be removed. A perfect example is Ansett in Australia or Jaguar in the UK. Ansett has not existed in Aus for sometime, but people still remember the company. Jaguar has not been a British company for longer, but it is still considered so.

Betta fish are resilient pets, able to survive for long periods in very little water with a minimal amount of food. But when Greg Brugman’s two bettas managed to survive Hurricane Ike, which ravaged Bridge City, TX in 2008, it wasn’t their intrinsic hardiness that kept them alive—it was steel.

The Brugman family placed the fish inside a steel storage shed/garage along with a truck and other odds and ends from their house before seeking shelter from Hurricane Ike in a hotel 4 ½ hours away—a move they dubbed a ‘Hurrication’ to ease the anxiety for their small children.
