Smart Ops is designed with Restaurant Managers in mind. This advanced window both transforms POS data into bite-sized widgets and graphs for on-the-fly decision-making, and allows for transactions and records to be created easier and more efficiently than ever before through smart functionality and template use.
Further enhance this experience by adding Smart Labor to your plan. Once enabled, you can set up your organization's labor configuration through the Labor Matrix and build Hourly Forecasts to better predict daily Labor needs. Restaurant Managers will also be able to view additional Labor Metrics on both the Operations Dashboard and Labor Dashboard to make data-driven staffing decisions. These can even be made in real-time if Intraday Polling is enabled.
The Smart Ops Home page displays various parts of this experience and take a glance at valuable Sales and Labor details. The Smart Ops Home page will open automatically upon logging into the system for all Standalone Ops users and all Standalone Scheduling users.
When Accounting is enabled for an instance, the R365 landing page is dependent on user permissions. Smart Ops home page will open automatically for users that
