The daily management tasks for running your restaurant business are found in Store Manager's Today tab, with employee scheduling and daily management reports. In addition, the document viewing and operations planning features provide useful management tools to reduce labor and food costs, as well as enhancing the security and convenience to view documents without leaving Store Manager.

In the Today tab, there are two main SpeedLine groups that contain Store Manager reporting, planning, and scheduling screens: Today's Tools and Operations Planning. You may have more groups in the Today tab if you created new groups and added commonly used shortcuts to them for quick access.

Hint Only Store Manager short cuts from the Reports or Settings tab can be added to the Today tab custom groups. For instructions on creating customized Today tab groups containing shortcuts to frequently used settings such as the Employee screen, or your Monthly Taxes report, see Customize the Store Manager Menu.

Today's Tools Group

The Today's Tools feature is where you'll be able to quickly access detailed summary reports that will keep you informed of your day-to-day business operations. The Calendar, Sales and Item Summaries, and Day Report will give you a financial snapshot of your business, while the Document Viewer will allow you to access TXT, PDF and Microsoft Office Suite documents without leaving Store Manager.

Operations Planning Group

Store Manager's Operations Planning tools provide a number of useful statistical and accounting features designed to let you track and reduce labor and food costs through scheduling and usage forecasts. The forecasts are based on past and present sales, food consumption and labor requirements.

Scheduling

In Store Manager, scheduling helps you build and produce printable schedules in a variety of formats, identifying staff needs and job skills. This helps you ensure you have the right personnel in the restaurant for each day. SpeedLine also helps reduce labor costs by indicating when the cost of your scheduled staff exceeds your labor overhead targets for the forecast sales estimates.
