"R-Keeper" - program for cafes and restaurants

When the restaurant business in Russia took its first steps towards development, a software product appeared that allows you to competently manage your business - the R-Keeper system. UCS developed and launched the first version in 1992. Today it is an effective management tool in catering establishments.

The R-Keeper system has evolved along with the restaurant business, responding to its changes with new features and functions. Thus, it turned out to create a program that takes into account the specifics of business and Russian legislation, and can be used at any catering enterprise, regardless of its format. Having chosen the desired configuration, with the help of R-Keeper you can organize the work of a small family cafe, and a huge complex consisting of a restaurant with a delivery service, a cinema, gaming areas, a fitness center, and so on.

The R-Keeper program is such a familiar and familiar program that any employee who has ever worked in a catering establishment, from a waiter and bartender to a chief accountant and manager, can use it. This is very convenient, since you do not need to spend time on staff training. But what is the secret of R-Keeper's popularity?

All details are taken into account

The specificity of restaurant accounting is that it reflects production and trade. The complexity of the business is due to the presence of many objects and areas where the movement of goods takes place. The R-Keeper system provides many opportunities for efficient business management. For example, with its help, you can track inventory flows, control settlements with suppliers, obtain information about the work of personnel, analyze the attendance of an institution, obtain financial results, and much more.

The R-Keeper program was created to facilitate the accounting and analysis of the company's activities, as well as to exclude the possibility of selling unaccounted drinks, cooking dishes from brought products and other options for fraud on the part of staff.

Control and more control

The R-Keeper system controls the work of each employee of the institution, recording all actions. Upon entering the service, the employee receives a personal magnetic card, which allows him to register in the system and pass authorization if necessary to perform any operation.

R-Keeper consists of several separate programs. Each of them is designed for a specific category of employees, from a waiter to a manager:

• Module Waiter. Designed to form orders and send them to the kitchen. It also allows you to print documents for the visitor, cancel the order and much more. The program contains an algorithm of employee actions and protection against intentional or accidental errors, which greatly complicates the task for those who want to commit fraud.
• Cashier module. It performs several important functions at once. First, it registers the service personnel at the start of the shift. Secondly, it reflects the payment of their bills. Receiving money from the waiters, the cashier punches the fiscal check, which removes the order from the system, makes it possible to close the working day. At the time of the event, products are also written off from the warehouse, which were the ingredients of the ordered dishes based on the calculation cards.
• Model Bartender. It is necessary to serve visitors at the bar. It allows the bartender to perform the functions of both a waiter and a cashier employee. That is, the bartender opens an account when an order is received and closes it when money is received from a visitor.
• Module Manager. It is used to fill in and adjust directories (information about personnel, menus, cards for suppliers and inventory, and so on), close the working day and generate reporting information. If there is more than one manager in a restaurant, then employees work in one module, but each of them has access only to certain functionality necessary for his work.

Minimization of cases of theft

Thanks to statistics, it is known that in the restaurant business the percentage of abuse can reach 50%, due to which the profitability of the enterprise is significantly reduced. Business owners know this, as do the developers of the R-Keeper program, who have made every effort to reduce the fraud rate to 10%, since it is not possible to completely get rid of theft.

To do this, it is proposed to integrate the operation of the R-Keeper program and the video surveillance system, which allows for the effect of presence. In addition, the manager has the opportunity at any time to generate a report on product balances and immediately conduct an audit in the bar, kitchen or warehouse.

The R-Keeper system is capable of calculating theft schemes, most of which are already entered into the database. Thus, the program monitors fraud, determines the perpetrators. The created schemes for the work of personnel are so rigid that the implementation of fraud requires a lot of manipulations that cannot go unnoticed by the manager. Suspicious connections can be tracked using reports. For example, if a manager, working in tandem with a certain waiter, sees customer refusals more often than usual, then this indicates the fact of theft.

Working to the max

Using the R-Keeper program allows you to increase the speed of service several times and increase the efficiency of the staff. Many mistakes in the activities of employees are simply excluded. For example, the system prevents confusion in orders and their incorrect transfer to production. As a result, the restaurateur notes an increase in the flow of satisfied visitors.

Each employee can work only on a certain module of the R-Keeper system. This restriction allows you to quickly find the culprit in the event of a violation. Employees should be aware that any information that has entered the system remains in it and cannot be deleted with one click.

Assembling the constructor

Restaurant business automation involves the following operations:

• Installation of system equipment.
• Installation of system elements, taking into account the specifics of the enterprise.

Installation of workstations is carried out within a few hours, and the equipment itself is compact.

It is also convenient that the correct operation of the R-Keeper program does not require instant debugging of work processes, their configuration and testing. If necessary, you can easily and quickly supplement the installed system with other functionality. While the waiters are arranging furniture on the new summer playground, specialists are expanding the functionality of R-Keeper.

Reports for everyone

The R-Keeper system generates reports at different levels of access that managers, the chief accountant and the manager have. They provide the following information:

• Revenue data, both general and for a specific waiter, table, dish.
• Implementation details are general or detailed.
• Analysis of the use of discounts.

And also thanks to the reports, you can control the absence of suspicious transactions that indicate the fact of fraud.

For accountants, the R-Keeper system is also convenient because it is easily integrated with 1C.

The ability to control everything anytime and anywhere

Being outside the restaurant, the manager or owner of the business can control the work of the establishment at any time. To do this, it is enough to have access to the Internet and it does not matter at all in which part of the world a person is currently located.

After authorization, the manager can view reports, data on the work of personnel and the availability of inventory, analyze the performance of a particular employee and the institution as a whole, view images from video surveillance cameras recorded or online.

The proposed variety of reports helps to think, draw the right conclusions and make effective decisions. Using the R-Keeper system, you can track the dynamics of business development, as well as track the change in the amount of revenue for a certain period. It is also possible to determine the days that are most profitable from a commercial point of view, learn about the favorite dishes of customers, and more. All this will improve the efficiency of the institution due to the fact that these parameters will be given more attention.

Uninterrupted work guaranteed

When deciding in favor of business automation, you should not be afraid that one day the work of the restaurant will stop due to the fact that the system is out of order. The main terminal (POS-terminal) is characterized by a reliable design. You can disable it by dropping it from a great height or spilling liquid on it.

In addition, you should take into account the multifunctionality of the R-Keeper system, which is limited only by your wishes. You have the opportunity to fully adapt the software product to the needs of your restaurant, choosing the necessary modules and tools from a large list of possible options.

The R-Keeper system is a set of information terminals in the hall and in the kitchen, video surveillance systems, printers, call buttons and other equipment. Your task is only to provide a reliable and safe power supply. At the same time, the system is equipped with the function of saving important information in case of an emergency shutdown of the light or other malfunctions. And intentional or intentional errors of personnel when working with R-Keeper cannot harm it.

KDS

If the restaurant's kitchen is busy, with complex dishes with a lot of modifiers, and you need control so that each guest receives their dish on time, a regular brand printer for printing orders is not the best choice. Let's imagine a situation when a waiter made a long order, and then changed something immediately afterwards - the guest changed his mind.

In this situation, a long “linen” of checks will come out in the kitchen and the kitchen will start preparing these dishes, and will only see cancellations or adjustments later. Loss of products and conflicts between the kitchen and the waiters are inevitable here. KDS allows you to display orders on a touch monitor (or a screen with a remote control) and mark the readiness. At the same time, all orders and adjustments are clearly visible. Not surprisingly, fast food restaurants such as McDonald's, CFS, Burger King simply cannot do without such technologies in the kitchen and work without them would lead to a slowdown in service at times. Thanks to KDS, the work of the kitchen becomes transparent, the kitchen sees orders and planned cooking time with a countdown when cooking is completed.
