THE BUZZ

Handling Industry Trends and Concerns

Ask yourself:  Do you just feed the masses, or is your goal to make money? There is nothing wrong with the word "Profit." If you only want to work insane hours and not make money, stop reading and Google "503c" or "Chapter 7."

Never before has technology been so important.  The restaurant industry has been evolving rapidly since Covid, and owners face unprecedented challenges. What is worse is many negative aspects are hitting at the same moment and hitting hard.

  • Minimum wage laws
  • Employee hiring and retention have never been harder
  • Food costs are going through the roof
  • Historically high energy costs... gas and electric
  • Out-of-control inflation hitting you, your employees, and your customers
  • Never-ending out-of-the-blue government taxes and regulations

How do you create profit? Simple math.  Increase sales while controlling and even decreasing costs. Let's break it down.

Your Customers are Everything

Attract new customers, keep them coming back, increase spend per visit.  These are the concepts of Arrow's Point-of-Marketing. By design, Arrow captures an incredible amount of information about your customers.  We then provide the tools to keep your customers coming back with fully-integrated, powerful, automated, and cash-generating marketing features.

Integrated Online Ordering

Integrated OLO reduces your need for labor hours.  Customers now expect the convenience of ordering food online which truly helps you. However, the OLO system must be simple for them to use, plus be an extension of your POS for ticket handling and menu maintenance.

Your Own Call Center

Turn your kitchen into pure production without the distraction and mayhem of ringing phones. Imagine having your phones answered by your own professional and well trained order takers sitting in a quiet undistracted environment. Their check accuracy and upselling will dramatically increase your average check and reduce mistakes.

Point of Marketing

Automated Marketing Tools Designed for Dramatic Growth

Your customer hasn’t changed, but the means and methods of reaching them have dramatically evolved. The traditional print media is virtually dead as the primary marketing focus. If you can embrace the new marketing avenues of Automated Rewards, Email, Social Media, Online Ordering, and other advanced tools, you can win the neighborhood battle for your customers’ minds and their appetites.

It all starts by using our tools to  ATTRACT NEW CUSTOMERS!  And then...

Keep Them Returning

Now that you have them, keep them. The average customer frequents their favorite restaurant twice per month. If you can pull them back just one more time per month, you will see a 50% increase in your sales.

Automate + Simplify

No owner has time to create or babysit a marketing program. The tools have to be simple or it won't get done.

Quantify Results

Marketing must be an investment in success, not a cost, of doing business. If something works, repeat it. If not, reallocate those funds elsewhere.

Attract New Customers

We have integrated many advanced features in Arrow POS+POM to inexpensively and powerfully lure new customers through your doors.
