Running a café is a dream for many, but let me tell you, running a cafe is no walk in the park. Sure, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the smiles of satisfied customers are pure bliss. But behind the scenes, it can be a constant juggle: keeping track of inventory, managing staff
schedules, and figuring out which pastries are flying off the shelves (and which ones are sadly ending up in the bin).
Imagine a world where you never run out of your signature roast or delectable pastries. Zapnow’s inventory management system is a barista’s dream come true. Here’s how it empowers you:
● Real-time Inventory Tracking: Imagine a world where you never face a customer’s disappointment because you ran out of their favourite croissant. With Zapnow’s real-time inventory tracking, that world becomes your reality. We keep you constantly informed about ingredient levels, ensuring you always have the supplies needed to craft those delicious beverages and pastries that keep your customers coming back for more.
● Automated Purchase Orders: Low on beans? No problem, Zapnow can even automate purchase orders. Now no more frantic stock checks or last-minute emergency orders. Set reorder points for essential items, and Zapnow can automatically generate purchase orders for your distributors. This eliminates the need for manual ordering, saving you valuable time and reducing the risk of human error.
● Item Wastage Reports: Our detailed item wastage reports help you identify areas for improvement. Analyze which items have high spoilage rates and adjust your purchasing accordingly. This not only saves you money but also minimizes environmental impact – a win-win for your business and the planet.
Data-Driven Decisions: From Knowing Your Grind to Growing Your Business
Ever wondered which coffee blend sells best at what time of day? Or how much those loyalty programs are truly impacting your bottom line? Zapnow equips you with the power of data to make informed decisions that drive growth.
● Detailed Sales Reports: Remember those mountains of spreadsheets? Gone! Gain a deeper understanding of your sales performance with daily, hourly, and even item-wise reports. Identify your best-selling items and adjust your menu or promotions accordingly. Imagine promoting blueberry muffins during peak afternoon hours or offering special discounts on slow-selling pastries, all based on real-time data!
● Targeted Marketing Campaigns: Zapnow’s CRM goes beyond just managing customer contact information. We empower you to connect with your customers on a deeper level. Run targeted marketing campaigns to promote seasonal drinks to coffee aficionados, offer birthday discounts to loyal patrons, or even send out special offers
based on previous purchases. Hence these targeted campaigns allow you to promote new seasonal drinks to coffee aficionados, and loyalty programs will keep those regulars coming back for more.
● Staff Performance Tracking: Your staff is the heart and soul of your cafe. Zapnow helps you ensure they’re operating at peak efficiency. Monitor staff breaks, attendance, and generate reports to optimize labour scheduling and identify areas for staff training. This not only improves staff morale but also translates into a smoother customer experience.
● Saying Goodbye to Credit Card Chaos: Managing those credit customer accounts used to be a headache. Zapnow’s CRM streamlines the whole process, making it easier to track payments and recover outstanding dues (without the awkward phone calls).
But it doesn’t stop there. Zapnow seamlessly integrates with your existing staff scheduling app, eliminating the need for multiple logins and streamlining communication.
