It's Possible to Make Money Running A Restaurant In Ireland in 2010

March 23, 2010 - PRLog -- With at least one pub or restaurant closing its doors every day in Ireland for the past 6 months, its time to address the challenges being faced by owners and managers. The facts about the economy do not change. Ireland is in the grip of a severe recession, one that has now been in full force for over 2 years. Jobs are being lost, Wages are being cut, costs are not reducing, and pubs and restaurants are feeling the pinch.

Nothing new here. Well, according to Andy Tierney, MD of Tierney's Office Automation, based in Ennis Co. Clare and supplier of Management Systems to Hotels and Restaurants in Ireland, there are some critical things that owners and manager need to do to ensure the survival of their business in 2010 and beyond.

"We see from our client systems that margin and revenue is being lost because they are not leveraging the technology and the systems within to gain greater yield per client. We are aware that there are fewer patrons in the business and also that the patrons that do exist are spending less. However, there are ways of improving profitability and margin, even with this situation"

"We are working with our clients on areas such as customer service, understanding what to say and what not to say, and more importantly how to say it. The wrong turn of phrase at the wrong time can cost a sale. Not only is that sale lost, but the advertising spend used to get the potential client to the business is also wasted." continued Andy

Tierney's are the Irish Distributor for Aloha, one of the leading restaurant management systems in the world. "Using a system to assist the business eliminates waste, increases team productivity, educates team on what to do and not to do. It also enables management to make informed decisions about their business in real time." said Andy

"Each of these elements can impact the margins in a business by as must as 10%. Show me a restaurant in Ireland that would not thrive with an additional 10 points of margin. We cannot ignore the facts, we have to leverage of fact based, proven management systems and if Irish Restaurant and Pub Owners want to thrive, they need to look at their technology and systems within their business today" added Andy.
