HotSauce™INVENTORY MANAGEMENT SOLUTION

HotSauce™ Inventory Management is a value-added solution that helps you improve profitability by:

With our Business Intelligence Inventory Reports you will be able to identify problem areas, which items are popular, better understand sales and margins, compare theoretical inventory with inventory on hand.

How it works!

The initial phase of setting up the inventory system involves loading the recipes, menu items, products and vendors. Each time a vendor delivers food or alcohol you simply need to enter the invoice for the purchased products. As the products are sold and consumed, the inventory is depleted in real time. Once a physical count of the inventory is performed and entered into the system, you will be able to run various Inventory Reports that will help you to manage your business efficiently and effectively andto make informed business decisions.

Database Vault

Your POS data is some of the most important information to your business. From accounting to planning/analysis, the valuable information housed in your POS system is critical to any restaurant operation. Any loss of database information is not only costly, but also time-consuming to rebuild. Unfortunately, the reality is that most customers will not manually spend the time to back up a copy of their database every day.

HotSauce™ Database Vault was designed to give our customers an automated, low cost solution for protecting their valuable POS database. Essentially, once we set it up, Database Vault’s double authenticated redundant backup* will automatically backup your critical information daily. This cloud-based technology will ensure that a duplicate copy of your information is always safe and off-site. In addition, unlike other backup services, with the HotSauce™ Database Vault, your backup database will be checked periodically to ensure data quality. Best of all, everything completely automated, so you don’t have to do anything.

So what are you waiting for? Call us now to start protecting your valuable data.

* HotSauce™ Database Vault automatically backs up to dual locations (on-site and in the cloud) to ensure the ultimate accessibility and peace of mind for our customers.
