HuHot Mongolian Grill franchise ownership groups will begin using the WhenToManage suite of services, including web-based scheduling, inventory management and operations reporting, all integrated to the Point of Sale (POS).

Ann Arbor, MI (PRWEB) May 30, 2012 - The most dynamic suite of restaurant productivity solutions has completed a four-month long pilot program with 15 HuHot locations and has been selected as a premier provider of back-office restaurant technology. Starting in May, HuHot Mongolian Grill franchise ownership groups will begin using the WhenToManage suite of services, including web-based scheduling, inventory management and operations reporting, all integrated to the Point of Sale (POS).

“We don’t just give our providers a walk in the park. We explore, analyze and ask our franchise groups to go through a real user experience. WhenToManage met all of our criteria for reporting and cost control solutions at the Enterprise and store-level,” said Jeff Martin, Vice President of Operations. Each HuHot franchise owner will be able to utilize a shared best-practices model created exclusively for the operation typified at a HuHot. “WhenToManage was able to take the most effective reports created from our core franchise partners and share these as dashboard components. In addition, we believe that our store operators will see substantial improvements to their bottom lines, using the inventory and labor functions. We can now offer any franchise owner, a reporting and operational tool kit to track top line, bottom line and everything in between. Additionally, we are now positioned to have real-time data that can assist us in identifying important and ever-changing trends in the field. This is an exciting development in the aggressive growth strategy of our company," continued Martin.

WhenToManage utilizes a SaaS-based architecture to instantly scale the business reporting and operations demands required of any growing/innovating franchise organization. With this program in place, WhenToManage is able to activate stores in hours, instead of days or weeks! “With HuHot, we were able to take what we learned at the store level and then connect the reporting and operational requirements at the corporate level to create a system that reports instantly on store successes and challenges. With this model, and through the use of our labor and inventory apps, stores will experience lower operating costs and justify greater investments into their marketing, people and growth plans. Or, frankly, owners can just sit back and enjoy the increased profits,” said Walker Thompson, VP Sales and Marketing of WhenToManage.
