As part of the RESTwithEU initiative, this guide focuses on the importance of data in the restaurant sector, encouraging operators to move beyond intuition to data-driven strategies. It outlines key practices for centralizing business information, monitoring financial health, and optimizing operations through comprehensive data analysis. The project emphasizes the implementation of integrated Point-of-Sale (POS) systems, which streamline various processes, improve order accuracy, and facilitate easier payment processing. By adopting these best practices, restaurant owners can gain critical insights into performance, customer behavior, and market trends, ultimately fostering resilience and sustainability in their operations. The goal is to empower restaurants to navigate challenges more effectively while enhancing overall performance and customer satisfaction.
