R365’s Task Management is an add-on feature that supports successful management of restaurant locations by using Guides that consist of regularly scheduled tasks of customizable frequency and interactivity. Guides and their tasks are user-created, and each customizable guide can be assigned to one, multiple, or all locations as needed. This level of customization ensures an efficient and successful day of operation.

 

With Task Management, all tasks that managers need to review and complete can be accessed from the My Tasks page. This alleviates the need for managers to mentally keep track of tasks throughout the day. Task Management helps users navigate their day by showing them what they need to do and how to do it. 

 

Additionally, with automated integration with the rest of the R365 system, Task Management is not just a list of tasks, but a way for users to efficiently work their way through R365. When creating tasks, users can set up shortcuts or R365 Actions, which take the user to select pages in R365 where they can complete their task, such as completing an inventory count or submitting purchase orders. Task Management also supports automations in which the system can auto-validate task completion, such as the completion of a prior-day DSS. These automations allow for increased accuracy and less manual box-checking. 

 

From the My Tasks page, users can work through their regularly scheduled responsibilities, checking off tasks in R365 as they are completed. The My Tasks page features the assigned Guide(s) that need to be completed each day. Users can view each of their assigned tasks along with their due date, due time, and the individual who completed the task.

 

With Task Management enabled, restaurant operating days will run more smoothly and efficiently. Managers, Shift Leads, and Employees alike can ensure that no Task is left incomplete.
