Reduced errors: MonkeyCatering’s comprehensive, production-focused functionalities will help the Which Wich franchisee significantly minimize the amount of errors made in the kitchen and allow employees to enhance the existing high level of catering guests’ satisfaction and loyalty.
Strategy and educational services: S.M.A.R.T. Restaurant Group chose a business partner when they selected MonkeyMedia Software. MonkeyMedia Software will work directly with the S.M.A.R.T. Restaurant Group staff and catering managers to develop a winning strategy specifically designed for the restaurant’s catering business. MonkeyMedia Software is staffed with industry veterans who know the catering business inside-out. They will equip each S.M.A.R.T. Restaurant Group location with catering best practices and be there every step of the way to assist with the software implementation and training.
