Will Restaurant Automation Solve the Industry’s Labor Problem?

Restaurant operators are under constant pressure. Take it from me, I used to be one. I used to ask myself, how will we scale while maintaining operational consistency across the brand? How can we grow same store sales and achieve profitability? What can I do to maintain guest satisfaction, especially when consumer preferences are in a state of flux? Today, operators have to answer these same questions while also accounting for unprecedented levels of staff turnover. A shortage in the labor market and an explosion of new restaurants make it difficult to find and keep good team members. This just makes restaurant operations all the more chaotic. It often seems that once everything is running smoothly, turnover strikes. Teams change and operations fall apart. The restaurant’s back office is rooted in chaos, but there are ways to limit the impact of high employee turnover. That’s why restaurant automation tools are so important.
