Why is data and analytics important for restaurant owners?

Why is data and analytics important for restaurant owners?😍

Alexander: To make the right decisions—every day. As a restaurant owner, you have a lot going on at once, but with the right data, it becomes easier to spot patterns, understand what’s working, and act fast. With Trivec Insights, you get access to the most relevant numbers instantly—like real-time sales, best-selling items, even weather data that you can link to your sales.

Trivec: It can feel hard to know how to work with the data. How am I supposed to use it?

Alexander: You use it to understand and plan. The restaurant industry is hard to predict—but with historical data, you can build better forecasts. If you see that a certain week last year had high bookings and high sales, you can prepare better this year. You can even combine booking data with actual sales to optimize staffing and the menu.

Trivec: What kind of data should I keep track of?

Alexander: The most basic is knowing: How much did I sell today? Best selling products, what did last week look like? Trivec Insights gives you a real-time overview—instant insights directly in the system. You can easily compare with previous periods and spot trends. For many restaurant owners, that’s more than enough.

Trivec: How can I track how my business is doing over time?

Alexander: The moment you log in to Trivec Insights, you see day-by-day, week-by-week, and month-by-month comparisons. You also see table turnover, average bill size, weather, and top sellers—it gives you a clear view of where you stand and helps you make smart decisions.

Trivec: What makes Trivec Insights unique?

Alexander: It's the accessibility and the simplicity. Whether you're on-site or not, you can follow your sales—minute by minute. Have more than one restaurant? Keep track of profitability. You can easily compare locations, departments, or even different evenings. It's a powerful tool—and super easy to use. And don’t forget: Trivec Insights is included when you buy Trivec’s POS system.

Trivec: Can I get more advanced analytics if I need it?

Alexander: Absolutely. We know every restaurant is different. Want to compare several restaurants with each other? Pricing? Or analyze which products sell well together? Or combine booking and staffing data into one view? We work closely with partners who offer advanced analytics and integrations—customized for your business.

Trivec: Do I have to activate Insights myself?

Alexander: All new customers get it activated right away. Already a customer? No worries—just contact our support team and we’ll help you get started right away.
