pack your patio furniture away is just around the corner. It\u2019s fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">It took heaps of planning and a lot of work to set your restaurant up for a successful summer, and now that it\u2019s nearing an end, it\u2019s time to get ready for the season ahead. While the sun and good weather often make summer the busiest time of year for restaurants, the cooler months bring a ton of business, too \u2013 as long as you prepare and are ready for it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">Here are five things you can do to get your restaurant ready for fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Prepare for staffing changes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">Once September hits, many of your staff may be headed back-to-school. Others may be taking time off after the busy summer season to travel. Whatever the reason, the end of summer will undoubtedly mean big staffing changes. Get ahead of the game and begin planning your fall roster by answering these questions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">\n<li>How many staff members will be leaving?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How many will need to change their availability?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How many year-round staff are staying on?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How many team members do you need for fall based on last year\u2019s numbers?&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you\u2019re using&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/myameego.webflow.io\/features-2\/scheduling\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">restaurant scheduling software<\/a>&nbsp;that\u2019s integrated with your POS, it should be easy for you to get a sense of the numbers you\u2019ll need for fall. If your&nbsp;scheduling software&nbsp;is integrated with a POS that drills deep into sales for revenue centers (i.e. the lounge or the dining room), you\u2019ll also know exactly how much staff you need, and where you need them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">\n<li>What are your sales projections for the year, and what percent of that number do you want to spend on labor?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How many new team members will you need to hire, and when do you need to start training them to have them ready in time?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Generally, a good workback target is four weeks. One week to get your job postings up and spread the word on social media, one week to interview and hire, and two weeks to train your new employees.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">Tip: By mid-August at the latest, you\u2019ll need to consult your staff about their plans for fall to get answers to the first few questions. If you\u2019re using restaurant scheduling software, ask your staff to use the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/myameego.webflow.io\/features-2\/team-communication\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">employee portal<\/a>&nbsp;to communicate their September availability, and be sure to give them a deadline to do so. This will save you from writing notes on napkins about changes, which could lead to manual errors in scheduling.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Take a look at labour requirements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">Most restaurants are busiest around the summertime \u2013 because who can resist a cold beer on the patio with friends? Compared to other months, average sales in the summer could be doubled, tripled, or even quadrupled.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">In preparation for the fall, you\u2019ll have to remember that this season will be very different: namely, lower customer counts. Generally, people tend to dine out or go out for drinks less once back-to-school and cold weather hits. And because summer vacation ends for many families, you won\u2019t have the same foot traffic from tourists.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">But exactly how&nbsp;<em>much<\/em>&nbsp;less? And how will this decrease in customers impact your labor needs?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">To avoid guesswork, review last year\u2019s numbers and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/myameego.webflow.io\/features-2\/reporting-insights\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">gain valuable insight<\/a>&nbsp;into your numbers for the season. In addition, don\u2019t forget to take into account this year\u2019s market conditions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Plan your sales budget<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">Making your fall budget is necessary, but it doesn\u2019t have to be a painful process. Some managers set their budgets based on what they need to make, while others will do it with projections based on data. If you\u2019re using restaurant scheduling software that&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/myameego.webflow.io\/integrations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">connects with your POS system<\/a>, it\u2019ll be easy for you to see month-over-year how the numbers stack up.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">Projections based on data tend to better reflect actuals down the road. Don\u2019t forget to give thought to these other factors that could influence sales:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">Are there any upcoming fall events? Is your neighbourhood planning and festivals, markets, etc. for the season that could bring in heaps of extra foot traffic?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">Are you adding an arm of delivery services? If you plan to use third-party food delivery apps, such as Uber Eats, it\u2019s apt to have a big impact on staffing and meal counts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">Will there be any savings compared to last year? If you\u2019ve just started using a scheduling software this year, you\u2019ll probably ses savings in labor costs, which means there\u2019s a good bit of budget back to work with.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Make seasonal menu changes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">With fall comes a bounty of fruits and vegetables ready for harvest. Late summer is the ideal time to begin designing a fall menu that makes the most of these flavors and the culinary trends your guests will be craving.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">Here are four key considerations when planning your fall menu:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">Use locally sourced fall ingredients to cater to customers\u2019 social responsibility palettes.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">Put your own spin on comfort food classics (e.g. mac and cheese).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">Take advantage of the fruits of the season with plenty of desserts (e.g. pies, cobblers, puddings).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">Add big garnishes and infusions with cocktails (e.g. beets, herbs, fruit slices).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Pack away the patio&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">Finally, it\u2019s time to pack away the patio furniture: the cushions, blankets, chairs, fire pits, and other decor that are loved during the summer, but virtually futile during the colder months.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">Instead of simply throwing a tarp over your outdoor furniture, you may want to consider storage. Putting your furniture into storage provides ample protection from the elements and theft while they aren\u2019t in use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do more with Ameego<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">By following these 5 steps, you can prepare your restaurant for a successful fall season \u2013 but to ensure you\u2019re maximizing profits, use a restaurant scheduling software like Ameego for accurate labor forecasting, detailed reports into key metrics, one-touch scheduling, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/myameego.webflow.io\/request-demo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Book a consultation<\/a>&nbsp;with our team to learn more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\"><em><strong>Read more: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/en-ca\/blog\/three-ways-to-boost-your-restaurant-sales-this-december\/\">Three ways to boost your restaurant sales this December<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-2 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\" data-trigger-modal=\"request-a-demo-modal\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\">Learn more<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull is-style-default has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-content-justification-space-between is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-15 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\" style=\"margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10)\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related Resources<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-link-arrow is-style-link-arrow--3\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-btn-brand-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"\/resources\/?topic%5B0%5D%5B0%5D=Product\">View all<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-query blog-3-col-query-loop is-layout-flow wp-block-query-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fall is just around the corner.
