8 Reasons why Touchblock is the right tool
1.Ensure Quality and Consistency System Wide
Two essential keys to success in the restaurant business are consistency and quality. Problem stores can drag down the reputation of the entire chain. Restaurants invest a lot of time, effort and money in creating detailed procedure manuals, checklists and training programs. But what good are procedures if they aren't followed at the front line? Touchblock makes it easy to introduce and implement procedures system-wide.
2.Identify Inefficiencies and Profit Leaks
Touchblock quietly keeps tabs on your equipment, processes, and procedures at all locations. The unit can be programmed to alert you when the standard you set are met... or alternatively... not met. If a walk-in cooler malfunctions, you'll know it before food has a chance to spoil. This is far more efficient that requiring an employee to manually check cooler temperatures six times per day --- instead of supporting your customers. If your rest room cleaning checklist is not completed at any given store, you'll know it before the customer enters. And all alerts can be monitored from your office or laptop computer, so you can focus your attention precisely where it is needed.
3.Monitor Performance
Daily checklists and reports are difficult to enforce and are sometimes filled out long after-the-fact making them inaccurate at best. And the paper and data generated is put to no real use. Touchblock puts digital checklists in the hands of the people doing the tasks and reports completion time. Employees and store-level managers like it because it makes their job easier. If you have 500 stores, management can see when various tasks are completed at every store and take corrective action to bring all stores up to speed.
4.Eliminate Paper Work... and Paper
Do away with reams of useless paper. Save money, save the environment. and end up with data that is meaningful and actionable instead of a bookshelf full of binders or trashcan full of paper that ends up in the landfill
5.Increase Accountability
Data generated by your Touchblock system is easily tabulated and charted so that performance can be tracked and evaluated by store, by procedure or by piece of equipment.
6.Fulfill Food Safety Requirements
Complying with federal, state, and local food safety regulations is an increasingly complex tax -- but Touchblock makes compliance a snap. Temperature probes and/or device mounted thermometers record temperature data from dishwashing machines, walk-in coolers, steam tables, etc. Compliance checklists make sure that every health regulation is met on the appropriate schedule.
7.Manage Liability
Touchblock not only assures management that food safety requirements are being met at all of your locations, but it documents and charts your compliance and alerts you if and when any store is falling behind -- while there is still plenty of time to address problems. This "buttoned-up" attention to health codes keeps health department ratings high and provides solid documentation of your concern for your customers well being.
8.Build Customer Trust
Nothing builds customer trust like consistent quality and cleanliness. With touchblock you can hold all of your restaurants to the standards you set. And you can expect your customers to notice... and to choose your restaurants over competitors with hit or miss quality or cleanliness.
