How It Works

Problem

You know that success in the hospitality business is down to controlling variable expenses in line with fluctuating revenues and demand.

And we all have access to the most technically advanced point of sales (POS) and labour management system (LMS) apps to help us do that. In fact, these apps are collecting vast amounts of data every single minute.
Unfortunately, most of us have to collate and compare POS and LMS reports manually to assess business performance.

If you have pay cycles that have to be reconciled in another app, you might even have to wait until the end of the month.

But why should you wait weeks to see some useful business performance data? By the time the monthly management meeting comes around, it’s too late.

What you want is to see actual costs compared with actual revenue as soon as possible.

In cafes and restaurants, front of house service relies on a well organised sideboard, with all the menus, tableware and payment systems in one convenient location.

Sideboard applies this hospitality principle to your backend management systems – all the vital numbers you need in one place.
