Notion is a business organisation tool designed for cafes and restaurants. It comes with over 25+ internal templates to help improve efficiency, manage staff and enable scaling. It is optimised for use on computers, tablets and smartphones.
This planner contains everything you need to start and scale your cafe/restaurant business. It has been designed and built over 2 years, and tested on a business that has grown to a $1.4 million turnover in the last financial year.
Main Dashboard:
This is designed for top-level access and should be restricted to management and owners only. Use the templates in this area to store important information (company details, insurance documents etc), manage and track projects, access product and supplier databases, track turnover and keep up to date with your business calendar.
Staff Dashboard:
This is designed for staff and management to use on a day to day basis. Here you can allocate tasks to individuals and attach printable documents for extra instruction. You can track incoming stock orders and allow staff to request stock to be ordered when it runs low. You can also track staff competency levels in detail across every area of your business, and provide them with all the tools and information they need in the information bank. Additionally, you can create a menu database, categorise products for easy navigation and attach important information to each item, such as costings, ingredients lists and chef notes etc. You can also manage catering jobs from start to finish, controlling due dates and scheduling production time. Finally, the HR department allows you to communicate policies with staff such as time off and sick days.
Bonus:
As a bonus, I have also included a list of supporting apps/software programs I personally use to manage and continue to grow my business. These recommendations are perfect for small to medium businesses that don’t want to spend a fortune on an over the top business management system.
