Restaurants generate an extraordinary amount of data from a number of systems. While some data stays in the system it is produced in, other pieces of data are transformed and sent to various other systems. With the growing emphasis on data-driven decision-making, restaurant companies are seeking reliable solutions to consolidate and provide access to data so everyone is on the same page. This is where a robust System of Record (SoR) comes into play. Learn the advantages of using a Data Warehouse as a Restaurant System of Record.

If you are only examining your traditional same-store sales metrics today, you are not getting an accurate picture of the market realities or your restaurant's real performance. During an inflationary period, sales increases can look good but can also be misleading, or worse, lull you into a false sense of security. To see performance clearly during times like these, you need to recalculate your sales growth to eliminate the beneficial effects of inflation.

Mirus CEO, Dave Bennett, will be presenting his thoughts on managing restaurants during a high inflationary period at the Restaurant Finance and Development Conference.
