Running a successful restaurant requires more than serving great food and providing top-notch service. Behind the scenes, restaurant owners are working hard keeping up with labor costs, payroll, scheduling, compliance, and employee management. To aid in these arduous tasks for restaurant managers, Toast was created to meet the unique demands of the food service industry.
When paired with ProLiant's Human Capital Management (HCM) platform, Toast becomes even more powerful by connecting point-of-sale data with payroll and workforce management. Together, they work together to help restaurants reduce manual work, improve accuracy, and gain valuable operational insights.
Let’s take a look at how the integration of Toast and ProLiant can streamline your restaurant operations.
Why Restaurants Choose Toast
Toast is a cloud-based restaurant point-of-sale (POS) platform designed specifically for the food service industry. It offers a comprehensive suite of tools that help restaurants manage front-of-house and back-of-house operations from a single system.
Key benefits include:
Streamlined Order Management
Toast enables staff to process dine-in, takeout, delivery, and online orders quickly and accurately. Kitchen display systems help improve communication between servers and kitchen staff, reducing errors and speeding up service.
Better Guest Experience
From handheld ordering devices to contactless payments and loyalty programs, Toast helps restaurants create faster, more personalized dining experiences that encourage repeat business.
Real-Time Business Insights
Restaurant owners can access detailed reporting on sales, menu performance, labor costs, and customer trends. These insights make it easier to make informed business decisions and optimize daily operations.
Flexible Restaurant Management
Whether operating a single location or multiple restaurants, Toast provides scalable tools for inventory management, menu updates, employee management, and online ordering.
The Power of the Integration Between Toast and ProLiant
While Toast excels at restaurant operations, ProLiant focuses on additional workforce management, including payroll, human resources, time and labor management, benefits administration, and compliance. Integrating the two platforms creates a seamless flow of workforce data, eliminating many manual administrative tasks.
Automated Payroll Data
Rather than manually entering employee hours and tipping information into payroll, the Toast integration securely transfers approved labor data into ProLiant. This reduces duplicate data entry and minimizes payroll errors.
Accurate Tip Reporting
Restaurants often manage complex tip structures. The integration helps ensure reported tips are transferred accurately for payroll processing, tax reporting, and compliance.
Improved Time and Attendance
Employee hours captured through Toast can synchronize with ProLiant's payroll and workforce management tools, helping managers verify time records before payroll is processed.
Enhanced Compliance
Accurate payroll records help restaurants stay compliant with wage and hour regulations, overtime requirements, tax reporting, and labor laws. Automated data transfer also reduces the risk of costly mistakes caused by manual entry.
Conclusion
Restaurants operate in a fast-paced environment where every minute matters. Toast helps streamline restaurant operations, while ProLiant simplifies payroll, human resources, and workforce management. Together, they create a central hub for processing transactions, managing sales, and streamlining business operations. By using this integration, your company will have fast and secure transactions, improved inventory management, fast sales tracking and reporting, strong customer relationship management, among other benefits.
