Module 43 · Shift and up

Which dishes earn, which stock sits, which guests return and which hours are quiet.

Readings built from what the till already keeps: margin and sales for every dish, stock that has not moved, what each regular orders, and how busy every hour of the week is.

How it works

Trade as usual, read the boxes, act on them.

Trade as usualEvery settled bill already carries the dish, the table, the guest and the hour.
Read the boxesThe matrix, the slow movers, the day parts and the turn forecast are worked out from it.
Act on itReprice or retire a dish, hold back an order, or greet a regular with their usual.

What is in it

Menu engineering, feature by feature.

Hours are Dubai time and a night runs to the 02:00 cut-off, so a busy Thursday after midnight still counts as Thursday.

Menu matrix

Every dish sold, placed by margin a plate and units sold into Stars, Plough-horses, Puzzles and Dogs.

Slow movers

Stock with no sale, waste or count in fourteen days, or the window you set, sorted by value on the shelf.

Slow movers

Not costed, not guessed

A dish without a full recipe cost is counted in its own bucket, never pushed into Dogs by a zero margin.

Reprice or retire

On the Menu screen a Dog or a Puzzle can be repriced or retired, with a reason kept beside the decision.

Turns tonight

How many seatings each table is likely to do tonight, from the same weekday in past weeks, on the Floor and the dashboard.

Questions it answers

The four you will ask it first.

  • Which dishes are Dogs this month?
  • What stock has not moved in two weeks?
  • When is our quietest hour on a Tuesday?
  • How many turns should we expect tonight?

Before you believe it

The three questions everyone asks.

Will slow movers stop me over-ordering?

Yes. With Purchasing on, the suggested order holds a slow mover back at nought packs and says why. Add anyway puts it back.

Is the guest card typed in by staff?

No. It is read off the guest's own settled bills. A guest with no dine-in visits gets no table chip rather than a guess.

What if an outlet is new?

The turn forecast waits for four past nights of the same weekday. Until then it says there is not enough history yet.
