Multiple Branches

Simplify the management of multiple restaurant branches with Z-Cloud POS, a unified system that provides centralized control and real-time synchronization across all locations. Monitor sales, inventory, and performance metrics for each branch from a single dashboard, ensuring seamless operations and consistent service quality. With Z-Cloud POS, you can standardize menus, pricing, and promotions across locations while still accommodating branch-specific needs. The system’s robust analytics and reporting tools empower you to make data-driven decisions, enhance operational efficiency, and achieve better financial outcomes across your entire restaurant network.

The Z-Cloud RMS is designed to handle the complexities of businesses with multiple outlets or branches. The software refers to these branches as "outlets" and provides features to manage them effectively. Users can add new outlets, specifying details such as outlet code, name, phone number, email address, physical address, and active status. Importantly, Z-Cloud RMS allows for menu customization at each outlet. Users can choose which food menus to sell at a specific outlet, ensuring that each location caters to local preferences or operational capabilities. Additionally, the software enables setting different prices for the same food menu across different outlets, providing flexibility in pricing strategies. For example, a menu item could have a higher price at an outlet in a high-rent district compared to a branch in a more affordable area. This granular control over menus and pricing allows businesses to tailor their offerings and strategies for each location. The Z-Cloud RMS also facilitates stock transfers between outlets, enabling efficient inventory management across multiple branches. This feature ensures that ingredients can be moved to locations with higher demand, reducing the risk of stockouts and minimizing waste due to spoilage.

The Z-Cloud POS system addresses the challenges of "Multiple Branches" through several key features, allowing for centralized management and reporting across different locations. Here's a detailed breakdown:

• Centralized Outlet Management: The system allows you to manage multiple business locations or branches as "outlets". Each transaction is associated with a specific outlet. This enables clear tracking of sales, inventory, and other activities on a per-branch basis.
• Outlet-Specific Configurations:
  • Unique Codes: Each outlet can have a specific code for easy identification.
  • Contact Information: Each outlet can have unique contact information such as phone number, email, and address.
  • Default Waiter: You can assign a default waiter for each outlet, which is useful for POS screens.
  • Status: Each outlet can be activated or deactivated as needed.
• Menu Management Per Outlet: You can choose which food menus you want to sell from a specific outlet. This means that you don't have to sell the same items at all of your locations, giving you flexibility in your offerings. The system allows for the selection of food menus for specific outlets and the use of a “select all” option for easy management.
• Pricing Variations:
• The system allows for different prices for Dine-In (DI), Take Away (TA), and Delivery (DE) orders at each outlet. This enables you to tailor pricing to the specific needs of each location, or any variations in service, like delivery costs.
• You can set menu-wise prices for each outlet, overriding the default prices set when adding the food menu initially.
• Stock Management:
  • The software supports stock transfers between different branches/outlets.
  • You can view ingredient stock levels at each branch.
  • The system allows for adjustments to stock levels for each outlet to account for discrepancies.
• User Management:
  • Users are assigned to specific outlets, controlling access to only relevant information.
  • User roles and permissions are configurable, so that users have access to only specific modules and features appropriate to their job functions and location.
  • Order Receiving Cashier: When a user is designated as a "waiter", an "Order Receiving Cashier" can be selected. The system will show all orders in the running order section to that selected cashier and waiter, as well as to admins, which provides centralized oversight.
• Reporting: The system provides a wide array of reports that can be filtered by outlet. This allows you to analyze performance at each branch separately or compare performance across branches.
• Counter Management: The system allows for multiple counters to be used with multiple printers, and will track transactions counter-wise.
• Online Ordering: Each outlet gets its own online ordering URL.
• Self-Ordering: The system can generate QR codes for each table in each outlet.

In summary, iRestora PLUS is designed with multi-outlet functionality in mind, allowing for a high degree of customization, control, and visibility at each branch while still maintaining a central system for overall management.
