This tool streamlines menu management, potentially saving valuable time – up to 30 minutes per 100-item menu. Businesses that start their journey from scratch can potentially save hours or even days with this new tool.
Moreover, Lightspeed's proprietary 'Advanced Insights' tool receives a robust upgrade featuring the 'Magic Menu Quadrant' empowers merchants with insights into popular items and those that foster repeat patronage. Additionally, the 'Staff Performance' tools help businesses optimize their front-of-house teams and facilitate increased order sizes and streamlined cross-training.
"Implementing NuORDER Assortments meant more accurate roll-ups and a clear process to write smarter buys," Stephanie Gin, director of Buying at Brunello Cucinelli, said in the release.
