New trade balance with an integrated barcode scanner

Hello, friends!

in our warehouse appeared new scales CAS , which belong to the category of trade weights, but differ from the rest is not integrated thermal printer for printing labels, and built-in barcode scanner, and a convenient remote display, stainless steel casing and the ability to embed them in conveyor systems or tape submission.

More detailed information can be found on our website, on the following page .

The "Scale".

Theodolite Accuracy Formula

not so long ago - summer 2010

hang in the balance

can be seen that in retail use a wide range of weighing equipment from different manufacturers. In a hypermarket can be found, for example, scales Bizerba CE 400 - in the fish department, CAS SW-in desks for controlling weighting, DIGI DS - in the zone of acceptance of goods, etc. Wide choice of means and a high level of competition in this market. Producers and suppliers are looking for ways to attract customers both through new features and high quality, and due to lower prices on some models.

Says Olga Kholodkova, a leading expert on advertising and PR, JSC "MASSA-K»: « First of all, it is necessary to take into account the current market situation, when for many stores decisive argument in the choice of equipment is low cost.

According to our sources among the trade balance the most popular scales MK series production plant "WEIGHT-K and Mercury 315 company Incotex.

In the segment weights with label printing today most demand balance, capable of operating in automated systems that have characteristics such as large memory, work via Ethernet , easy integration into a local chain of stores, formation of free label, synchronization with 1C. Among the most popular - a series of ILM (MASSA-K), dot-print (Bar-M), Tiger ( Mettler Toledo ). By the way, with weights ILM, which for several months, gained prominence in Russia and Abroad, our company in 2008 won a significant share in the segment weights with label printing.

«On the market weighing equipment are weighing the various manufacturers - also noted Irina Salimzhanova, product manager for the company "Pilot". - main suppliers offer weight equipment several brands:

• DIGI
• CAS
• Mettler Toledo
• Bizerba

Most of the retail market hold the scales of class medium , the average price category which is the order of 1000-1500 USD . Scales of this class have the optimal set of standard functions: chekopechat, software, remote access, and update the database, filling, самообслуживание и т.д. В линейке весового оборудования нашей компании такие весы представлены моделью Tiger P 3600 от крупнейшего в мире производителя весового equipment from Mettler Toledo ».

«In today's retail sales are various types of weighing equipment for certain tasks - comments situation Vladimir Gorshkov, senior product manager for Weight Equipment, Service Plus. - So, on the trading floor supermarket used the system scales with printing labels, cash balances with the connection to POS terminal, as well as simple trade weights (for example, as control). In stock and in the zone of acceptance is used mostly platform scales of various sizes and capacity. In the filling station, in addition to traditional weights stamped and portion weights were very popular and semi-automatic weighing etikerovschiki-packers.

«At the same time, many companies in line there are some successful and popular model. But the biggest leading manufacturers, such as DIGI, offer a very wide range of models for decision each of the tasks listed above, which allows the customer to pick up the required model from the ruler of one provider, and in various price bands "- said Vladimir Gorshkov.

Retailers choose

Irina Salimzhanova: « When choosing any commercial equipment needs information about the format of the store, its target audience, mode, area, as the client is ready to invest the automation of trading object, etc.

shopping with a small area, for example, trading pavilions, just use the scales with a minimal set functions. This equipment consists of a platform and a display on which the buyer and seller can see the cost and weight of the goods. Basically the market, this segment introduced an inexpensive domestic products or in China.

stores with a larger area, where used bar-coding, use more "complicated" weighing equipment: POS -scales for weighing at the checkout counter, and scales with chekopechatyu to work on the trading floor. Weighing equipment with an opportunity Print is part of the overall information system stores and has several advantages, allowing competently and effectively build a sales process. By using the remote administration can be updated, Updating the database with the balance in real time without interrupting your work, which increases rate customer service and justifies investments retailer. addition is more advanced hardware design. In the super-and hypermarkets, where a large flow of customers, and in the "peak hours" load weighing equipment increased by several times, depending on the department used different kinds of scales with chekopechatyu. In the vegetable sections of this scale self-service, to trade in cheese, meat products - prilavochnye in fisheries departments - hanging scale with an increased level of moisture protection.

Stores premium, such as "Supermarket number 1" or "Stkomann, use scales prestigious уровня. Они работают на основе промышленного компьютера, с предустановленной операционной системой, жестким диском и памятью. Подобные характеристики позволяют ритейлерам поддерживать свой высокий статус и оказывать покупателям заявленный уровень сервиса. Такие весы – не только средство для взвешивания продуктов. They serve as a marketing center, used as a server in the information system store.

also use weights in the trading Hall must use the weight equipment and for acceptance of goods. Here establish weighbridges: from the simplest configuration and ending with more complicated with the terminals, which can quickly receive and transmit information about the supply of goods. "

«For Trade over the counter are designed with a bilateral trade balance display - added to the above Olga Kholodkova. - They should count the cost product, summed up the cost of multiple purchases, calculate date and determine the mass of container. In markets where there is no way to connect to the network weights, as well as in small shops where the probability of power outages, required trade balance with self-powered.

in retail formats such as super- and hypermarkets, are widely distributed label printing scales. They are used in three areas: Filling in the shop, on the trading floor and behind the counter in the meat and fish departments. In filling the shop should be used fasovochny version scales with thermal printer, on the trading floor - the scale for self-service. The choice of weights for over the counter is determined based on the specific needs of the department. For example, in the fish department is often used suspended printing scales Stainless steel. In the meat department preference weights with label printing, the printer which is located at the front, which protects the print mechanism from dirt. "

According Maxim Selivanov, commercial director of "Tandy», technical equipment shop this year is still in the spotlight at all levels and sub-sectors in retail. An efficient trading business requires constant investments in hardware, equipment, and in specialized software. In this case, customers' demands to acquiree Weight Equipment remain the same: functionality, reliability, usability, and quality service. And the term "functionality" increasingly becomes directed toward improving customer service.

«The requirements to the scales with printing labels, in addition to the now normal requirements to the amount of memory on a large number of stored goods and formatting labels, all the more common requirements for convenience, namely work. Scales on the trading floor must have customer display mounted on the rack, buttons, shortcuts goods prices from memory, self-service scales should have a comfortable keyboard and intuitive navigation of product "- said Mr. Selivanov .

«Even crisis almost no impact on demand customers to the functional weight equipment - agreed with the above Vladimir Gorshkov. - Libra is one of the most important segments of the equipment trading network, is integrated into its infrastructure, and the selection and testing of a model is a difficult and responsible process. And since the market weighing equipment is already quite mature, already formed an idea of the minimum set of features. Thus, the basic scales for supermarket must have a high volume commodity memory, calculate the value of one or more purchases, print labels with barcode have an interface to connect to the LAN Ethernet (lately more and more demand balance with Wi-Fi), and interfaces for external equipment free programming formats, printing labels.

«In any situation, the basis for the selection of weight equipment is their functional and budget - said Tatiana Brichevskaya, advertising manager of the company "Eykom. - Now for many buyers have demanded the cheapest Scale of Chinese manufacturers, they often work for a short time, they do not repair and buy new ones. Well, that such an approach is not a mass, and the majority of buyers to buy compare features and choose the scale in terms of price and quality. This allows considerable savings to repair.

When choosing the weights value is a commitment to the brand, those who are already using scales Acom , continue to buy them, being sure in high quality. Brands, recently appeared on the market more difficult to attract new customers, but tougher quality control and responsibility.

requirements depend on the weight equipment as well on the format of the store. Prilavochnoy used for trade scales, distinctive feature is a two-sided display. Such scales typically have a number of additional functions: subtract tare weight, the summation value of purchases, the multiplication weight on the price calculation date, the correction of the last purchase.

in supermarkets apply label printing scales, the main additional requirements placed upon them - a choice of label format, large memory and work in local area networks.

also used in trade organizations portions weighing and counting, they do not have stringent requirements, but will be more convenient to work with the function of the tare. Sometimes require special design weights in stainless steel or with the possibility of autonomous power supply. In the back rooms and shop at a warehouse for packaging use scales, in this procedure is useful function of the comparator.

important criterion in choosing the weights is the type of power, size and material platform, type display. Not all consumers are thinking, but when you buy is important to consider the convenience and ease of working with weights, it will save time for the commission of an employee Weighing the goods and not to create a queue. Shop the premium one requirement - an attractive and modern design.

In addition, such parameter, the reliability of the weights, can substantially reduce the cost of repairing the weights, and their replacement. Reduced risk of "downtime for Trade and possible losses from this due to lack of balance in the trade area shop.

New season

Irina Salimzhanova: « Modern retailers operate in a difficult competitive environment, so they use any means to maintain the loyalty of their regular customers and attract new, whether it's a special event, and discounts on merchandise, or bonus programs. Modern scales today - it's not just a device for weighing products. Features innovation can receive from the weights of maximum efficiency. Scales Series UC Advanced Company Mettler Toledo - called Media weights. They are focused the most modern retail outlets. To date, the scales have been 32,800 installations worldwide. These scales are running a standard operating system, in particular, WEPOS from Microsoft. Powerful application software lineup UC Advanced allows not only solve the problem of weighing and labeling, but also to use the scales as a server.

hardware of weights constructed architecture-based PC-compatible industrial computer that allows you to further increase the computing power to use expansion card third-party manufacturers to build hard disk space. The latest trade opportunities weights UC Advanced, such as a remote service, makes a line of products UC Advanced optimal for any commercial enterprise. "

Vladimir Gorshkov: « Company« Service Plus »recently began shipping the model weights Printed DIGI SM-100 CS +. This cost scales with the cluster-quality printer and dot matrix LCD display, especially in demand now that the price factor plays a very an important role. In the near future there will be weighing DIGI SM-5100, representing a new generation of weights with a seal. Would like to mention a completely updated modern design and ergonomics of these scales.

Olga Kholodkova: « Russian manufacturer of electronic scales MASSA-K in early 2010 introduced just two new items: the trade balance autonomous MK_TN11 and trade balance with the calculation of the cost TV_T.

MK_TN11 Commercial scales - ideal for battery life as in-store and on the market. They have a built-in battery and can operate up to 100 hours without recharging. Libra MK_TN11 have more bilateral LCD -indicator with three modes of backlighting and high contrast display. Scales are distinguished by modern design and construction for compact during transportation and storage.

Commodity scales costing TV_T joined the series of trade weights TV, which also includes the balance of general purpose and commodity TV_A Label printing scales TV_R3. Scales costing notable for their LCD -indicator displays a lot of goods, the price per kilogram and the price. Libra TV_T have the following functions: cost calculation of weight and piece goods, 16 memory cells goods prices, the sum of the purchase price. Scales can TV_T up to 100 hours of battery life without recharging and have a power saving mode.

Model TV_T presented modifications to the NEC from 15 to 600 kg and various options for mounting the indicator: without stand (on the bracket), folding and stationary. Operating temperature range of weights TV_T, -20 ° C to +40 ° C, and platform made of stainless steel with protection class IP 1967 allow you to work with weights in aggressive conditions, to carry out regular cleaning and sanitation. In the balance provided for the RS232 interface for connection to PC ».

Maxim Selivanov: «We encourage our customers to weighing equipment manufacturing company CAS Corporation, for many years, occupying a leading position in the Russian market. This year I want to note the update is already known range of trade weights Printed labels CL5000 Junior - scales with an additional graphic display. Having all the advantages of the main series, scales CL5000J-I significantly expanded the capabilities of by multivariate representation of the series: SL5000J-IB - version of the model without the stand, CL5000J-IP - version with a rack, CL5000J-IS - Scales with self-button keypad (Self-displey), SL5000J-IH - Suspended trade scales with label printing. In addition, more modern design of the updated series, replaceable cartridge labels, advanced format printing, access WiFi module and high-speed downloading (up to 60 PLU / sec), along with an affordable price make this model one of the most interesting proposals on the market today. Scales fit perfectly in both formats of major national networks and in small shops until the stand-alone "stores at home ".

Tatiana Brichevskaya : «Our assortment is wide enough, and bring to market new products, we do not plan, although Korean producer innovating in existing models. So, from March scales with label printing Nets will be equipped with a large graphic display. On It is possible to display any textual information.

know-how

«New weight equipment targeted on, primarily, to increase functionality and ease of maintenance and integration into the IP Commerce network, opportunities for exploitation of the sellers and cashiers (Integration with scanners and other equipment in the cash zone), self-service customers, improvement of design and ergonomics - says Vladimir Gorshkov . - of the features have become increasingly popular use of wireless technologies: Wi-Fi interface is already de facto standard requirement for a modern system weights. Gradually growing in popularity today of weights on the PC platform (eg, DIGI SM-700). Such scales provide entirely new opportunities, for example - a demonstration of multimedia. "

«Among the new developments can be noted wireless exchange of information between the weights and the computer using a memory card MiniSD or device Bluetooth - commented Olga Kholodkova. - Step forward made weighing equipment manufacturers to develop software for the weights with label printing: it combines an intuitive user interface and functionality. in trade weights manufacturers are fighting for an increase in work time scales from Battery in standalone mode without a recharge.

«With our new scales have begun to play an important role in the overall information system commercial enterprise, although to date chekopechat still is one of the most popular features of modern weight equipment - Said Irina Salimzhanova. - However, many users are already assigned to the functions you need weight equipment software capabilities for the rapid exchange of data, which is important for a large cross-country buyers, and work round the clock trading company. For many clients, so as important ergonomic devices, and user-friendly interface.

Maxim Selivanov noted also that n PPLICATION Wireless Networking - WiFi module with a high download speed - allows you to move the scale in the right areas at different times, depending on the shares held in the store and the new touch screens to the next level interactive communication with the buyer.

Demand and Supply

«On the whole, the weight equipment is quite conservative - says Vladimir Gorshkov. - On the one hand, the crisis forced Many seek more budgetary decisions. On the other - stricter legal requirements for labeling, narrows the range of models considered, and the search for them and changing corporate standards is not a simple process. In addition, there are many applications that simply do not allow move to low-cost solutions by eliminating the part of the functional or sacrificing reliability.

In general, the Russian retail trade follows the path passed by other countries, only much faster. This is confirmed, including the fact that Russia has successfully developed nearly all the modern trade formats, and the world's leading producers seek to provide here all their technologies and innovations. Available specificity is determined or features of the legislation (for example, the need for fiscal decision making impractical the use of integrated systems "scale-scanner-POS»), or our traditions (for example, a relatively small presence of self-service systems).

In essence, the market weight equipment affects at least three factors. First, the dynamics of retail, the pace of opening new stores and upgrading old ones. Here, the crisis has affected most significantly. Secondly, the alignment of forces and competition among manufacturers and suppliers of weighing equipment. From this point of view market is quite stable and the proportion of the major players until I was very much against a very tough competition. At the same time, we can expect the market of new players and products, positioned as in the budget segment and in ultra-innovative technologies. Thirdly, the change demand from customers. Here you can expect certain changes associated with the one hand, to seek opportunities to reduce costs (not only due to The purchase price, but, above all, total cost of ownership), while the other - with the need for know-how to gain a competitive advantage. "

«In Russia, the budget shop for shop equipment is strictly limited - commented Olga Kholodkova . - So often prefer given to second-hand equipment and equipment from the lower price segment. However, producers of cheap hardware does not guarantee the quality of its products and often denied warranty repairs, which makes the scales for the most part "disposable".

According to our estimates, in spite of the crisis on the market weighing equipment Retail not only declined, but increased on average by 15%.

most growing segment of the market can be called a segment weights with a seal labels, and in this segment of the redistribution of buying power: reducing the consumption of printing scales of super-and hypermarkets in connection with the reduction of programs to open new stores in this format and increased consumption of weights with label printing convenience stores in connection with automation. Referring to the price of the scales, we can confidently speak about their stability during 2009, largely due to high competition among manufacturers.

«We are seeing some decline in sales volumes, which leads to lower prices in the categories of the most expensive, functional scales with printing labels. Beginning in 2009, the trend to reduce the slowdown will continue and the pace in the first half of this year, and already starting in August we are waiting on a fracture upward momentum and sales growth, both in quantitative and accrual terms » - said Maxim Selivanov.

« Demand for retail scales depends on the emergence of new food stores, supermarkets - added to the above Tatiana Brichevskaya. - In 2008 . the stable growth of the commercial equipment, and 2009 . was less fortunate for the Russian retail sector, decreased growth of networks. In these conditions, a significant price change on the scale, our company did not hold. But was designed incentive program rebates.

Rosstat, Retail trade turnover in January-November 2009 . decreased by 5.7%, and given existing problems with potrebkreditovaniya, we believe that in 2010 city The situation will not change much. "

Laryngitis For 7 Months

out of old - the year 2009

David Ian:" At the moment crisis benefit those companies that are able to more effectively manage their business. "

Interview with cofounder of iiko (read "Aiko"), developer of the eponymous restaurant business management system.

- Today, amid the global economic crisis, many companies are experiencing financial difficulties. How will this affect restaurant business?

- In the restaurant business is a bidirectional process. Eating premium actually experience some decline in sales worldwide. In particular in France as early as October decline was 20%, 25% in November. And democratic vice versa restaurants are lifting. History has proven that people used to eat out at home, even the crisis has not forced cook. They just have to go to a more democratic place. For example, McDonald's in November recorded a historical high sales for the company's history.

As scope IT , in Russia the more expensive restaurants began asking for fewer services, have delayed the modernization and took the expectant position. Institution with a more democratic level of prices today, we can say, rush into battle. We know no one project that is currently under expansion - Discover new places, implemented network projects. In particular "constellation of entertainment" - a brand that includes playgrounds, quick-service restaurants and cafes - within 3 months of opening retail outlets in several cities simultaneously. There are projects that continue develop dynamically, such as network QSR « PraymStar » . actively open corporate dining - Again, because people have less to go to more expensive establishments - and to eat. So that the process of bi-directional.

Nevertheless, the fact There is some tension among the companies involved in automation equipment and restaurants. There is information that the projects that were deep in the implementation stage, some companies put on « hold » - have been frozen. Our company has no such projects. Projects that were in deep stage of implementation continue to be implemented - including projects Sbarro "and" Coffee House "- which continue to actively move forward. In fact, there is the circle of our customers with the institutions of the middle class, which was an early stage of negotiations, and in October scheduled opening points, and that really now decided to wait and see what happens. This is what we know about the market today.

As general philosophical context, it is obvious that in a moment of crisis benefit those companies that are able to more effectively manage their business. Those companies who are able to qualitatively control their costs, they know how to motivate their personnel effectively to attract customers, without spending extra money. System Automation plays a very key role. When it comes to saving at% or fraction of a percent - it is impossible to do manually on paper. Here everything is done by data consolidation at the expense of cost analysis, analysis of merchantability, analysis, opinions guests. So that companies that managed to introduce a modern management system in restaurant business, were in a very advantageous situation in comparison with those who believed all on knee and were satisfied with the high level of profits. In the early 2000's net profit margin in the distribution may reach 30-35% and the company could afford to act not very effective. Things began to change for a long time already in 2004 there was no such easy money in the restaurant business. Net profit margin in the distribution of after paying salaries, rent, cost of products, etc. already accounted for about 18-22%, which allows restaurants to pay back about 2-3 years. That was so arranged Catering in 2004-2006.

Before the crisis, experienced strong growth in the number of restaurants. The growth in property values and increase rent led to the fact that no super-profits of any new restaurants could not even think in the first years after opening. Great importance was given to capitalization brand: in particular, some network cafe opened just at a loss. That is, it was important not the size of net profit and turnover. Each new coffee shop gave, conditionally, 1 million dollars of revenue a year, even with a loss, but it increased the company's turnover. In general, the entire network remained in positive territory through a series of profitable points, while the company increased its turnover. Major network projects relied on the capitalization of its business. They sought, reaching Traffic Network 80-100 million dollars, to sell the business to investors at a maximum price. The main thing - plenty of restaurants. It was such a model of aggressive expansion, the characteristic End of 2006-2007. Now everything has changed dramatically. As soon as the ongoing crisis months, turnover decreased markedly, and the number of loss-making points suddenly noticeably increased - the entire network was on the verge of profitability. On the other hand - the money for expansion have been borrowed, ie, credit, and is usually given bail company's shares. Banks have demanded the money back, if not money - lend the shares, ie situation in a number of chain restaurants projects was not very profitable. Inability to repay the loan or refinancing resulted in the fact that we had to stop the already half-running projects, and this is just lost money.

- How profitable today Automator chain restaurants projects?

- Without a doubt, profitable. In a normal situation Automator gets its money by selling software, hardware and services, and they come in any a sense of independence from what is profitable whether a given point or not. In the long run much deeper than all tied to performance. If the Automator, through its software and consulting, ensure steady growth of network project, and he bought more improvements to the program, taking into account rising requests of the company.

When the owner of a restaurant or restaurant chain starts to count money and systemic way to look at your business, and when his Automator with him on the same wavelength, ie foreshadows his desire for a functional program, while a long-term and mutually beneficial partnership between restaurateur and Automator. And further work "word of mouth." Restaurateurs are beginning to recommend to successfully proved themselves Automator others.

- on the market today there are many companies that are engaged in automation of restaurants, why you have decided to do this? When you open their establishments you could choose any automation system - do not find a solution that would suit you in full?

- Yes, we looked at the program that existed at the time, and a year honestly tried to use them. Moreover, we tried to modify something for yourself. We, together with the software vendor sat and wrote down our requirements, and even some of their embodied. But at some point it became clear that this is impossible. It still turns scrappy automation. We dreamed of a system that would automate all business processes of a restaurant in a single information space. To this was not just cash, sales management and warehouse management, but also:

• accounting finance;
• work with the guests;
• record, motivation personnel and control over his work;
• surveillance associated with events in the system;
• control kitchen
• control your music in a restaurant etc.

We dreamed and thought - whether it is now a program that would be fair for an adult would in a unified way to automate the evening for activities - That we would be happy.

- But you did not find such a system?

- And it now no. Not finding a suitable solution, we have analyze the best programs in Russia. Many say, that they have all the necessary functions restaurateur, but it is not. In practice, a piecewise systems from multiple vendors, and software related to one another: for example, the accounting system from one developer and video from another. It turns out that different companies of different features that are often trying to combine with each other, but the result is very cumbersome, very limited and still does not cover all business processes.

Such a system does not have, not only in Russia - such a system in fully functional form and not in the world. We have studied and the best examples of Western systems. Of course the reason why such a system does not objectively exist. Developing such a system is very expensive occupation. That's a lot of tens and even hundreds of person-years of development. But it's not just the cost of developing such systems. The issue is that the existing system have a great backstory. They were developed in the early 90's based on the technology of that time and have thousands of customers. While today it is necessary to ensure compatibility of data and a certain continuity of these systems with modern technology that may be even more difficult than starting from scratch. People are hostage to certain architectural decisions that were made with the help of computer technology of the old generation.

There is a certain historical reality, and we sought for the system among the proposals from well-known players in the market and talking to professional restaurateurs have realized that the appropriate solutions no. . At issue - whether restaurateurs do not have full integration and modern opportunities for automating business processes - has been received a positive response. It became clear that everyone is waiting for when the market will be the company that will say that now it is - it can be done. Therefore, it was decided to invest money to create a company and put in front of her goal to create the world's best system of management in restaurant business. The purpose of an ambitious, Turns all, but I think we can handle. Rather, I see no reason why we can not achieve this goal.

- How do you know about the needs restaurateurs?

- Our own institution, of course, are the providers of certain ideas and suggestions to the system, but they are considered along with the wishes of customers, and sometimes, unfortunately, and as a last resort. Because we first try to satisfy our external customers, and just when there is time, do something for themselves. We have a large number of customers who have partners who send us your feedback. With these wishes work project- managers - people who are engaged in major projects where a lot of complex integration. This is a painful process - because the number of requests greatly exceeds the capabilities of the company, despite the fact that we have enough staff. Problem addressed by the production committee where all wishes are fulfilled and selected features that will be incorporated into the next version of the program. The result is a single solution that all the time.

- What do you see prospects for the use of modern technologies in the restaurant business?

- Today in the restaurants using the full range of possible technologies, ranging from Wi - Fi , and ending with secure data transmission channels. We in work we use only the most advanced technology. By the way one of the most popular programs for automation of restaurants, which is now used in Russia, working under OS MS DOS . This operating system that are no longer available in the world.

to good, computer equipment should be changed every 4-5 years. Not least because it wears out physically, mechanically. Moving parts and especially the fans are covered with thick dust, especially if the computer used near the kitchen at the restaurant. In this computer, of course, does not work, and eventually breaks. Of course, when you change the computer has meaning to update and software on the new one that will use all possibilities of modern information systems and in terms of communication channels and in terms of data replication, as a result improve the transparency of the business. Using our business owner can from anywhere using a computer see what happens in its schools: one day late, who made some revenue, that is better to sell what tables are occupied, which has provisions for today. And so at any point in the network. For me, my business is open anywhere in the world where there is Wi - Fi is the Internet. In addition, we not only automate taken separately restaurants. We have developed a program iiko Chain , which is able to manage the network of restaurants. For example, a Coffee House 170 commercial enterprises in Sbarro - 200, and with the help of our system, these companies are now automated. Our program allows you to look at cost sales, key performance indicators at any time throughout the network, without waiting for the trading day. Figuratively speaking, at any time You can see how many carrots I had in all restaurants in grams. This kind of visibility and control is possible only if current channels of communication and modern technology. By the way it should be noted, not necessarily expensive equipment. Our software can run on terminals with 128 MB of memory, and it does not slow down her work.

- Will your company to move to the regional market?

- Yes, of course. Before the crisis, capital restaurant chain is actively working on regional development direction. This was natural given the shortage of restaurants in Russia as a whole. For comparison, in the press gives the following figures - in the United States operates 465 thousand restaurants - and in Russia, only 30 thousand And this despite the fact that the need for restaurants to eat. Even in Moscow 10 times smaller restaurants than New York (in per 1000 inhabitants), although the level of income comparable. Therefore, the potential growth of the restaurant business enormous. And once the crisis will pass - again begin to open restaurants, like snowdrops. In this region, undoubtedly, have a special potential.

By current trends, 50% of regional restaurants open with Moscow brands. But even if we do not take them into account, in regions normally open Restaurants are the people who've done this before. Successfully opening a restaurant, you always want to open the next. And here it becomes clear that no system Automation owner loses abuse staff 10-20% of revenue, and hundreds of thousands of dollars. Obviously, the cost of the automation system at 10-15 thousand dollars are not comparable to the losses that the owner of a result of its absence.
