Restaurants Protect Profits with Simple Inventory Management
Aldelo Express Helps Make Timely Purchasing Decisions and Maximize Revenues

3-minute read ---

​Effective inventory management is an essential part of running a successful restaurant. It involves the process of tracking and monitoring expensive and high-margin food and beverage items used in a restaurant and ensures that the right amount of stock is available at the right time. A well-managed inventory system can help a restaurant in many ways, including reducing costs, improving efficiency, and increasing profits.
1. Reducing Food Waste and Controlling Costs
One of the most significant benefits of effective inventory management is that it helps reduce food waste and control costs. By tracking inventory levels, a restaurant can identify which items are selling and which ones are not, allowing them to adjust their menu and ordering accordingly. Additionally, operators can avoid over-ordering, which can lead to food spoilage, waste, and higher costs. By controlling inventory, a restaurant can maintain a steady supply of the items they need while avoiding waste and reducing costs.

​2. Ensuring Consistency and Quality
An effective inventory management system can also help a restaurant maintain consistency and quality in its menu items. By monitoring inventory levels, restaurant owners can ensure that they always have the necessary ingredients and supplies to prepare dishes, resulting in consistent and high-quality menu items. This can lead to better customer satisfaction, improved reviews, and increased loyalty.

The Gift Card Goldmine:
Using Gift Cards to Boost Restaurant Profits and Maximize Sales

2-minute read ---

​Gift cards have become an integral part of the restaurant industry, providing a win-win situation for both customers and businesses. For customers, gift cards are a convenient and thoughtful gift option. For restaurants, gift cards generate immediate revenue, increase brand awareness, and encourage repeat business.

​Here are some of the reasons why gift cards are so profitable for restaurants, and how restaurants can use gift cards to maximize sales.
Picture
1. Immediate Cash Flow
When a customer purchases a gift card, the restaurant receives the money upfront, long before any food or services are provided. This immediate influx of cash can be especially helpful during lean times or for new establishments seeking to establish a financial foothold. Additionally, this prepayment mechanism acts as an interest-free loan for the restaurant, allowing it to use the funds for operational expenses or growth initiatives.
2. Breakage Income
Breakage income refers to the revenue generated from restaurant gift cards that are purchased but never redeemed. About 51% of gift card balances go unclaimed. This unused balance becomes a source of profit for restaurants. However, it's essential for restaurants to be aware of local laws and regulations related to gift card expiry and breakage income.
