Running a restaurant is hard work, a restaurant group, even harder. Technology has flooded the market providing a solution to nearly every challenge. Adoption of technology in the restaurant industry is at an all time high, and so is operator confusion. A modern single unit restaurant can utilize up to 27+ technology venders to run their day-to-day operations. To complicate matters, no tech stack is exactly alike from brand to brand. Now try and imagine being a restaurant GM…the cognitive load in trying to figure out what to do, in what solution, at what time, while also managing staff and customers is just to damn much.
ZagOps was founded to provide restaurant operators and managers an easier, faster, and more efficient way to do business. Our solution brings all of an organizations systems, data, and people into one ultra secure platform. This allows us to greatly improve every aspect of running a restaurant. We’ve found a way to provide the product at near zero cost to our clients, and zero change needed to their current tech-stack.
