Issues surrounding labour were a hot topic at this years annual Bar and Beverage Show held at the Stampede Ground in Calgary. 2 of the 7 seminar topics covered Employment Issues, including "How to Recruit and Traing the Best Staff", and Mark Thompson's seminar titled "Leading Edge Staff Scheduling Software".

3/25/2008 4:58:17 PM
2008 is already shaping-up to be quite an exciting year for 2020 ITS!
At the beginning of the year, 2020 announced that Dumac Business Systems was to become an authorized partner and reseller of the 2020 Staff Scheduler. Founded in 1952, Dumac Business Systems Inc offers a wide range of products and services for the Restaurant and Supermarket Industries. With over 350 customers, and a need for a web-based scheduling application, the alliance seems to be a perfect fit, with the 2020 Staff Scheduler being described as "the last piece of the puzzle" in a web-based offering.

The 2020 Staff Scheduler's use of proficiency levels will be of particular benefit to Dumac's existing clients, ensuring that only fully-trained staff members are scheduled for the busiest times of the day, with the most highly qualified staff working each station. This will lead to increased customer service levels, increased sales, and more profits for Dumac's customers.

2008 Wendy's Convention: Labour Concerns are Top Talking Point Among Franchisees
3/25/2008 4:57:01 PM
In the closing months of 2007, 2020 ITS was invited to the annual Wendy's Convention at the Orange County Convention Centre, Orlando, Florida, January 27th-30th, to exhibit the 2020 Staff Scheduler.

Conversations with owners of many Wendy's Franchises throughout Canada and America revealed that almost everyone had the same Number 1 concern: Labour Shortages.

With minimum wages rising, resources limited, and shift lengths restricted, over-staffing can waste precious hours - customer service levels might increase for the time that you are over-staffed, but you will end up leaving youself under-staffed for other periods of the day or week. If you do not have enough employees on your schedule, or you do not have the appropriately qualified employees scheduled, your customer service levels will quickly fall, and so will your profits.
Every restaurant should strive for a maximum level of customer service, at minimum cost.

As we spoke with Wendy's Franchise owners at the Convention, we discovered that, in today's economic climate, attracting the right staff has never been more challenging - retaining the best staff requires skill and the right tools. With all of the issues surrounding scheduling it is difficult to create effective and efficient schedules without automation, and it appears too many operators are failing to control the most controllable expense of running a restaurant. The 2020 Staff Scheduler is an exceptionally powerful tool that can assist foodservice operators in the realization of profit, even during a time of labour shortage.

The invitation of 2020 ITS to the Wendy's Orlando Convention to exhibit the 2020 Staff Scheduler marked a significant milestone in the success of the Scheduler, recognizing the superior features, leading-edge design, and overall excellence pf the Scheduler in the Restaurant Scheduling Software Market. The 2020 Staff Scheduler will give you the power of scheduling excellence, creating happy, retainable staff, and ultimately a happy and healthy bottom line!
