The new release helps restaurant managers serve customers more efficiently during rush times, without manager intervention, by providing automatic updates to quoted delivery and ready times, based on the current kitchen production load and daily trends.

Staff management is improved with a one-stop employee dashboard that gives managers instant access to employee tools. Managers can see who's on the clock, and who's on break, send employee messages, edit the time clock, or print an employee’s schedule from one dashboard screen.

The new release also integrates video surveillance, closing the loss prevention loop with built-in alerts and exception reporting.

The menu management allows operators to set up new “limited-time” menu items, available only between certain dates, and then forget them. The menu items disappear automatically from the POS menu at the set expiration date, but remain available in the menu file so the operator can choose to extend the availability period or re-use the item later.

“With the efficiency gains from these new built-in tools, SpeedLine POS users will see improvements in service and overall profitability as well,” Wiebe added.
