Maximise Your Venue’s Potential: 8 Reasons to Integrate your Labor Management Platform with Your Point of Sale System

Running a successful attraction venue means staying ahead of the curve and continually seeking out innovative ways to improve operations. One such game-changing method is integrating your labour management platform with your Point of sale system (POS) such as ROLLER. Together the two work in tandem to provide real-time insights into profit and loss, enabling you to make data-driven decisions that improve your venue’s performance. 

Let’s dive into the top 8 benefits of this integration focusing on resource allocation, unexpected savings, demand forecasting, and beyond.

 

Intelligent Resource Allocation 

1. Optimal Staff Scheduling

Gain incredible insights into your staff operating costs in relation to your revenue. Analyse historical sales data, and identify surge in visitors such as late afternoons on weekends. This data-driven approach allows you to allocate your resources where they matter most, avoiding unnecessary staff and their implied cost.

2. Reduce Overtime Costs

Cut out unnecessary overtime costs by optimising work shifts and schedules, based on employee pay rates. This proactive scheduling cuts down on expenses for high cost employees during higher pay cycles such as weekends and public holidays. For instance, an indoor play centre may spot late night guest traffic trends that enable them to adjust their rostering commitments accordingly. 

 

Streamline Operations

3. Labour scheduling

Integrating platforms simplifies management processes, reducing manual data entry and potential errors, while freeing up time for strategic planning. For instance an adventure park can automate schedule creation and payroll processing based on ROLLER POS data, which cuts administration hours significantly.

4. Improved Financial Reporting

Access to accurate and up-to-date financial data means more precise reporting and better financial oversight, assisting with budget planning and cost control. For example, a science museum that integrates data systems to produce detailed financial reports can help the multi-venue finance teams quickly identify profitable and non-profitable time slots.

5. Accurate Labour Cost Tracking

Track labour costs in real-time against revenue to maintain profitability across multiple locations. You can quickly spot when labour costs are too high and make necessary adjustments. An aquarium discovers that their labour costs are peaking during weekday mornings. By realigning certain staff schedules with POS insights, they reduce unnecessary expenses without affecting service quality.

6. Easy Compliance with Labor Laws

Ensure compliance with labour laws by having real-time insight into labour hours and breaks, minimising the risk of violations. A zoo may use integrated POS data to monitor employee hours and ensure they are taking mandated breaks, reducing the risk of labour law infringements.

 

Accelerate satisfaction 

7. Improve Guest Experiences

A well-staffed venue translates to shorter wait times, faster service, and happier guests. This positive experience encourages repeat visits and boosts word-of-mouth recommendations. If a museum sees an influx of visitors during special exhibitions. Thanks to its integrated data, they can predict these surges and schedule additional guides and support staff, ensuring every guest enjoys personalised attention and a memorable visit.

8. Increased Employee Productivity

With accurate scheduling in place, staff can be more productive and focus on delivering excellent service, rather than being overworked or underutilised. For instance, a mini-golf course uses ROLLER POS data to pinpoint their busiest times. With their integrated labour management platform, they can confidently schedule more staff during these hours, allowing employees to provide attentive service and maintain the venue efficiently.
