and beyond. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s a whole new audience hungry for your culinary delights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cost-savings\"><strong>Cost savings<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Less need for extensive dining space or front-of-house staff means reduced costs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Plus, you can focus on what you do best: cooking up deliciousness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tech-magic\"><strong>Tech magic<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Food delivery apps and online ordering platforms make connecting with patrons a breeze. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These

class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-takeout-tango\"><strong>Takeout tango<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Handling a surge in takeout and delivery orders requires some fancy footwork. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But fear not! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With smart planning and resource allocation, you can turn these challenges into opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-menu-mastery\"><strong>Menu mastery<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your off-premises menu needs to shine.

metrics you need to track<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To make off-premises work, you need in-depth insights on both financial and operational data to ensure continued profitability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are some key metrics to consider:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sales-volume\"><strong>Sales volume<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overall sales volume generated through off-premises channels (delivery, takeout, catering) on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Compare these figures to in-house dining sales to assess the contribution of off-premises dining to total revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-average-order-value-aov\"><strong>Average order value (AOV)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The average amount spent per off-premises order. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A high AOV indicates that customers are ordering larger quantities or higher-priced items, which can boost profitability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-prime-cost\">Prime cost<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-food-cost-percentage\"><strong>Food cost percentage<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The

profit margins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-labour-cost\"><strong>Labour cost<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Staff labour costs associated with off-premises dining, including staffing for order preparation, packaging, and delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Strive to improve staffing levels and workflows while maintaining service quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-inventory-management\"><strong>Inventory management<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keep track of ingredient and packaging supply levels to ensure sufficient stock for fulfilling off-premises orders without excess waste or shortages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-order-volume\">Order volume<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Analyze trends in off-premises orders over specific time periods. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Identify peak ordering times and adjust staffing levels and inventory accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-customer-acquisition-cost-cac\"><strong>Customer acquisition cost (CAC)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Calculate costs associated with acquiring new off-premises customers, including marketing expenses, discounts, and commission fees paid to third-party delivery platforms.

\/>\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-systemic-approach\">A systemic approach<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pulling together finance and operational data to make the most of the off-premises transformation requires the right tools to ensure everything is on the right path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-point-of-sale-pos-systems\">Point of sale (POS) systems<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many operators integrate their point-of-sale (POS) systems with a financial management platform for real-time data visibility with minimal effort and errors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With delivery aggregators increasingly integrating with POS systems or operators opting to keep the ordering in-house, integrating the POS systems with the financial platform makes sense. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>In a fully integrated ecosystem where the financial management platform is the hub of transactional information<\/strong>, the restaurant can fully use reporting and dashboard capabilities with real-time data used to measure profitability, demand and ideal price point\u2014all while minimizing error-prone data rekeying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-third-party-aggregators\">Third-party aggregators<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By partnering with third-party delivery aggregators, not only do restaurants save on the costs of driver fleets, but they also expand their reach to customers who may not normally have dined with them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In deciding whether to opt for in-house delivery, restaurants need to examine if the added labour and technology costs outweigh third-party fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Restaurants need tools to take a data-driven approach to understand the mix that works for them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Dimensions and custom reporting enable operators to quickly analyze the performance of cost and revenue drivers<\/strong>, so they can quickly understand what\u2019s working and what\u2019s not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With rolled-up summary views of entities at any time, you can keep visibility of programme performance in various locations\u2014to make sense of different customer behavior and price points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ghost-kitchens\">Ghost kitchens<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ghost kitchens, facilities that solely produce food for off-premises orders, are growing in adoption as an offshoot of the off-premises trend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These facilities serve to reduce the strain of added delivery orders in a restaurant\u2019s kitchen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, ghost kitchens can help restaurants test new concepts without the typical costs of highly trafficked location rent and equipment. The costs associated with ghost kitchens are not as transparent as the name implies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>An accounting platform using dynamic allocations can help restaurants understand their true business performance in complex scenarios.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Take for example a business that runs several delivery brands from a single ghost kitchen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Calculating complex cost allocations, creating journal entries and troubleshooting can take a few days per month when done in spreadsheets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Automating the cost allocation of overhead, such as fees, marketing expenses and non-hourly wages, saves time and gives the ability to get a more exact understanding of the profitability of each brand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the steps to getting insights are simplified, it\u2019s easier to make dynamic, informed decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-third-party-delivery-services\">Third-party delivery services<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Third-party delivery services help restaurants reach customers they otherwise would not have. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, these bring service fees that can range between 10% to 30% of orders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Contract terms with third-party services dictate how restaurants should account for their sales and fees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Throw loyalty programmes into the mix, and restaurants have new revenue recognition standards to grapple with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Only with visibility of current information can restaurants find ways to ensure profits, such as through higher prices on delivery items, delivery surcharges or unique delivery menus<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A best-in-class accounting platform simplifies these challenges through automation, allowing you to spend less time creating reports and more time on analysis and strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-final-thoughts\">Final thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether you\u2019ve just started to consider venturing into off-premises or have dived in and stood up your own delivery fleet, challenges lie ahead in tracking the added revenue streams against new costs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sage Intacct provides the tools to understand restaurant performance in complex scenarios so you can set your restaurant business up for success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Want to learn more about gaining better insights into your off-premises transformation?
