Pivot as an adjective is defined in Websters as “turning on or as if on a pivot” and is the antithesis of business in 2020 if we are to survive. How have you pivoted in your business? Are you doing curbside pickup in your restaurant or retail business, how about online ordering? Have you installed protective devices for your employees, handsfree point of sale options? None of us know what the new “normal” will be but it is for sure our world will never be the same. We have a new appreciation and awareness of the “essential worker”, safety in the workplace, and the ability to hug our family and friends.

As we move forward know that COCARD has pivoted too, offering protective shields and devices to protect your employees, handsfree point of sale options, online ordering, access to funding, and the Paycheck Protection Program, yes there are still funds in the second round of the PPP! We even have the Cash Discount Program which delays all billing for 60 days, giving you time to assess how you want to move forward and pivot your business.

For our office, it is about keeping our customers in business until we all see better days. If you want to talk about how to pivot your business, call me direct at 678-578-4340 and let’s talk about the options for your business. Hugs, Nelda

According to an article by @emmiemartin, 90% of Americans don’t cook – and it’s costing them thousands each year:

Here are some tips for capturing a share of that dining out cash in your restaurant:

Improve your digital presence

Both on social media and your website. Are you using Instagram? Take pictures of your food and post it on Instagram routinely, use hashtags to describe and elaborate on your food, connect your Instagram account to the restaurants Facebook page and Twitter, one post on Instagram and you’ve also posted on Facebook and Twitter. Do this routinely, even think about taking photos of your food on a day off, lots of items and have them in your photos to post on off days, be consistent.

Customer loyalty

Everyone likes FREE food!, so let Revonu help you create a loyalty program and keeps your customers coming back for the good food and say thanks with FREE food!

Re-think your menu items

Let’s look at your menu, do you have items that are not selling? Maybe Mom’s stuffed cabbage is just not selling? Make it at home and let’s get it off the menu, Mom will understand. Keep the items that sell the best and make them GREAT! Add new items one at a time and test them first as specials.

Offer Online Ordering

One of the fastest ways to increase revenue is to offer customers another way to order from your restaurant. Let customers place their order online, select all of the items and have that order print right to your kitchen printer – no need to have someone on the phone making mistakes! REVONU POS users receive online ordering as part of their suite of POS features.

Manage staff more effectively

With Revonu your staff can login and log out on the system, helping you manage their time. Need a night off? Login to your Revonu back-office from home and see who is working the night shift and how sales are going from your couch!
