Texas Restaurant Association Show (Part 2) — 2008

Posted on Jun 26, 2008 by apresley in Trade Shows

Additional highlights from our four days in Houston at the Texas Restaurant Show included:

Steve Green of Pizza Magazine Quarterly and PMQ.com had the US Pizza Team showing off their skills at the show. Steve stopped by on Tuesday and took a look at TimeForge , it is a perfect labor solution for pizzerias without a Point of Sale solution, and TimeForge is a great add-on to help control labor costs for those pizza shops that already have an existing POS program.

Dave Hwang from DinePoint was in the area attending the show, and we spent some time with him discussing plans for his above store reporting software package. He has had great success with a number of Point of Sale resellers, vendors, and major regional and national restaurant brands adopting his product.

David (also known as David_L) from FoodService.com was showing off the Digital Dining Point of Sale product, along with some girls from Hooters. He regularly posts on the FoodService.com food forums, and it was great to finally meet him in person.

Dominos Pizza had a corporate meeting at the Texas Restaurant Association, and we met with many franchisees about using TimeForge at their pizza business. Most operators and owners were surprised at how simple TimeForge is to use compared to doing things the “old fashioned” way.

Join us in Dallas for next years Texas Restaurant Show – we have already reserved our booth!

Minor Rules and Senior Rules

Posted on May 07, 2008 by apresley in TimeForge Features

Never again worry about scheduling minors to work! The TimeForge labor scheduling software includes an Age Rule module that tracks age appropriate rules for all employees, including minimum and maximum hours per week or day, and times that employees are allowed to work (such as weekends during the school year, and weekdays during summer or holiday breaks). TimeForge automatically calculate when these employees can or cannot work – and your management staff can set them one time, and not worry about it ever again!

Break and Meal Period Tracking

Posted on May 03, 2008 by apresley in TimeForge Features

In many areas (such as California, New York, Florida, parts of Canada, and most of Europe), managers must carefully monitor employee meal and break periods to ensure that employees take the appropriate breaks during their scheduled shifts. In some areas, managers must remember to get employee signatures, proving that breaks were actually given. Failing to follow these regulations will land a business into serious legal trouble. TimeForge provides an advanced and powerful Break Rule module which provides meal and break period guidelines for management , based on the scheduled shifts for the employees , and several reports that can be printed to provide necessary documentation. Let TimeForge do the hard work with meal and break period tracking!

Another Happy TimeForge Customer

Posted on Apr 29, 2008 by apresley in Testimonial

On Tuesday of last week, we received an amazing email from Mr. Lawrence Payne at Mid-Pacific Country Club, located in Hawaii. Mr. Payne has been using TimeForge for a number of months, and as explained in the following text, he’s more than happy with the scheduling product. His “customer testimonial” follows:

“As the Manger of several different Departments, I have researched and used several different types of scheduling software and have been very impressed with Time Forge. Once I accessed their trial period, I was up and running within an hour. I have used more than 6 different types of schedulers and theirs is by far the easiest to use. From the ease of setting up work week templates to the tracking of requests, I have been extremely pleased with the time it has saved me and the ease in which it is now possible to make schedules.

What used to take 1-2 hours, now takes 15 minutes. The reports section is comprehensive and useful. The service response Time Forge provides is exceptional and much appreciated. Anytime I had a question, it was responded to quickly and efficiently. In response to different user’s requests, they have modified the program to make it better.

I would highly recommend Time Forge to anyone making work schedules.”

Florida Restaurant & Lodging Show is Wrapped Up…

Posted on Sep 15, 2007 by apresley in Trade Shows

On September 6 , 9, we exhibited at the Florida Food & Lodging Show and occupied booth 1506 for three days. Held in sunny Orlando, the show provided access to about 500 exhibitors for approximately 10,000 restaurant, hotel, and club professionals. This year, the show was held in conjunction with Pizza Magazine’s (PMQ) Orlando Pizza Show.

Hopefully, the show was a great success for the many restaurateurs who were at the show, seeking the latest in equipment, operations techniques, food cost controls, employee scheduling software, building leasing, credit card processing, and everything else that owners, operators, and managers in the restaurant, bar, club, and foodservice industries need. We enjoyed meeting everyone who stopped at our booth!

TimeForge was presented to several thousand individuals interested in controlling labor costs, reducing turnover, and making their life easier by using scheduling and labor management systems.

We’d like to thank a few of the exhibiting companies who share a similar passion for the hospitality industry (ordered by physical proximity to our booth):

Additionally, we met with DinePoint, who had several representatives attending the show. Expect some news from TimeForge and DinePoint in the near future!
