Restaurant Scheduling Software (Visual Staff Scheduler Pro) Optimizes Staff Utilization
FARGO, ND – April 18, 2008 – Visual Staff Scheduler
Pro (VSS Pro) restaurant scheduling software optimizes staff
utilization at The Ground Round® Grill & Bar. With VSS
Pro, creating work schedules for servers, cooks, food
preparation staff, bartenders, or front desk employees is faster
and more reliable than using manual scheduling.
Since the Ground Round Grill & Bar started using VSS Pro
scheduling software from Atlas Business Solutions, Inc. (ABS)
the restaurant managers were able to reduce the time it takes to
schedule their personnel by 50%. According to Matt Walkowiak,
General Manager at the Ground Round, managers now spend half the
time they previously needed to create and distribute work
schedules. “Now, everyone stays informed, and schedule
changes are managed with ease,” Walkowiak adds. VSS Pro
schedule planner software proved to be the right solution for
the restaurant’s scheduling needs. “With VSS Pro, we
can bring all requests for days off, sick days and no-show
notifications into one master schedule, and easily see how any
changes to the schedule impact shift coverage. This allows us to
make better decisions when it comes to approving time-off
requests or calling in for additional staff,” Walkowiak
adds. Using VSS Pro scheduling software helps the Ground Round
significantly improve staff utilization. “With all of the
scheduling information easily accessible, we can better optimize
our work assignments. We can make adjustments quickly and move
staff between shifts or different areas of responsibility,
instead of paying for idle hours,” says Walkowiak. In
addition to better staff effectiveness, the Ground Round also
improved internal communication, as all supervisors have the
ability to look in one place for up-to-date schedules for all
work areas. With Visual Staff Scheduler Pro, staff utilization
at the Ground Round is at its peak. “VSS Pro gives us
everything we need to make sure our customers are happy and our
restaurant operates efficiently. I definitely recommend VSS Pro
scheduling software to other food services and catering
businesses,” Walkowiak concluded.
