In the fast-paced world of pizza franchises, efficiency in the back-of-house is just as crucial as a well-tuned front-of-house. The kitchen is the heart of your operation, and to keep it running smoothly, you need features that streamline processes, improve accuracy, and optimize resources. Here are the top three back-of-house features from Adora POS that can take your kitchen operations to the next level.

1. Inventory Management

Managing your inventory effectively is essential for minimizing waste, maximizing profitability, and ensuring you never run out of crucial ingredients during peak hours. Adora POS offers a centralized inventory database that allows you to assess inventory by item or location and even transfer items between stores. This feature is particularly beneficial for multi-location franchises, where inventory consistency is key.

Adora’s inventory management also supports managing multiple vendors, so if you want to test a new product, like a different brand of pepperoni, you can do so without disrupting your supply chain. Furthermore, Adora POS enables you to stay on top of inventory over time by facilitating recurring orders and providing real-time tracking and reporting. This ensures that you can maintain accurate inventory levels with minimal manual intervention, saving time and reducing errors.

• View inventory across multi-location franchises.
• Access real-time tracking and reporting.

2. Kitchen Display System (KDS)

A well-organized kitchen is crucial for maintaining fast service and high food quality. Adora POS’s Kitchen Display System (KDS) is designed to streamline your kitchen operations with features that your team will actually use. The KDS creates a Make Line, Cut & Wrap List, and provides production time reporting, ensuring that every order is prepared efficiently.

One of the standout features of the KDS is its ability to prioritize orders automatically based on order type, placing rush orders at the top of the Make List. This intelligent prioritization can significantly impact customer satisfaction, especially during busy periods. Additionally, the system helps you avoid mistakes by allowing you to see updates or deletions of items in real-time, along with their payment status. The visual indicators ensure that no detail is overlooked, keeping your kitchen running like a well-oiled machine.

• Minimize mistakes with live updates.
• Never second-guess yourself with intelligent ticket prioritization.

3. Employee Management

Your team is your greatest asset, and managing them effectively can make all the difference in the success of your kitchen operations. Adora POS’s Employee Management features provide a centralized employee database, making it easy to access all employee information and share employees between stores if necessary.

These scheduling features are designed to ensure you have the right people in the right place at the right time. You can schedule employees by day or by week and seamlessly transfer previous schedules to upcoming weeks, saving time and reducing the chances of scheduling conflicts. What’s more, Adora POS uses previous sales data to estimate scheduled labor costs and percentages accurately. This data-driven approach helps you schedule drivers and kitchen staff based on actual needs, optimizing labor costs while ensuring you’re never understaffed.

• Access employee info across multi-store franchises.
• Ensure you have the right people, at the right place, at the right time.
• Transfer previous schedules to upcoming weeks

By leveraging these three powerful features from Adora POS, you can enhance your back-of-house operations, leading to a more efficient kitchen, happier employees, and, ultimately, satisfied customers.
