Mistakes in creating restaurant waiter KPIs Building KPI system plays an important role
in evaluating job performance of individual parts, divisions and the company’s
objectives and performance management system in general. The development of KPI
metrics help to create measurement systems, information systems throughout the
organization.
KPIs should be clearly linked to the strategy, i.e. the things that matter the most. KPIs
should be primarily designed to empower employees and provide them with the
relevant information to learn.
Process KPIs - measure the efficiency or productivity of a business process. Examples -
Days to deliver an order. Input KPIs - measure assets and resources invested in or used
to generate business results. Examples - Dollars spent on research and development,
Funding for employee training, Quality of raw materials. Output KPIs - measure the
financial and nonfinancial results of business activities. Examples - Revenues, Number
of new customers acquired.
KPI: Chef
Key Performance Indicators are important metrics that can be derived through
Business Intelligence software, and help a restaurant improve its profit margin.
With the right BI platform, KPIs can be captured in real-time and displayed via a
dashboard that provides an easy to understand, at-a-glance view of KPIs. With the
click of a mouse or tap of a screen, drill down capabilities can be implemented to
reveal specific details that pertain to the KPI. A few KPIs for the restaurant industry
include:
Food Costs:
Food purchases can be measured against food sales. A food cost per head can be
determined to establish the profit margin per customer. A trigger can be set to
highlight in red if the % goes above a certain amount. The ability to drill down to
exact food elements, such as cheeses or sauces can be useful to determine if there
is excess usage on particular menu items.
Kitchen labour can be measured against food sales. Drilling down to hours per
section is a great way to report on productivity. You may find you can scale back on
labour during certain days of the week or shifts.
Seating:
How often are your tables being turned over? Is high-turnover affecting the
customer service? These numbers are great to evaluate all areas of turnover time.
Drill down for # of seats, clearing time and cooking time. Perhaps more staff is
required to improve the clean-up time.
