Garry is a franchisee of three KFC sites in New Zealand. Initially Garry was interested in trying the DataSmart product to simply be able to access basic sales, transactional and product information for each of his sites. Garry also liked the fact that the information would be accessible from any internet connection so that he didn’t have to operate within each given office. However, the DataSmart system has far exceeded his initial expectations.

“The information and data accessibility is way more comprehensive and detailed that I have imagined,” explains Garry. “For example, quarter hourly sales and transactions data are just the beginning. It is so easy to download the data in excel format and use it in any way you would normally use spreadsheet data to produce further reports.”

DataSmart is an easy to use reporting programme which links into the Point-Of-Sale system. (Please contact Maxtel for a list of supported Point-Of-Sale systems) *Access via the internet allows you to review and compare comprehensive business reports at any time, from any where.

There have been some very clear benefits for Garry Haskett with
maintaining control and management over his KFC restaurants:

1 Access to Timely Information –
“Before using DataSmart most of our reports were created manually after the end of the week. Now there are no real surprises.”

2 Internet-Based Access –
“Now I no longer have to dial into each restaurant's PC and email the data to myself.”

3 Single or Multi-site Information –
“The information is available in single site or consolidated format, once again saving time and it is accurate.”

4 Cost Effective Back-Of-House System –
“It overcomes the issues faced by small operators that do not have sufficient scale to warrant the investment required to set up a back of house system.”

“For a small, multi-site business without back office systems, DataSmart provides a great solution, giving access to all key data via internet access,” Garry explains. “Furthermore, the data can be easily accessed by single site or in a consolidated format and downloaded in excel format. The data can then be used to suit specific purpose as required. The other really great thing is the data is available first thing in the morning so it is always up-todate, being only a matter of hours behind close of day.”

Now that Garry Haskett has been using the DataSmart system, he has no problems recommending it to other Quick Service Restaurant owners and operators.

“There is no doubt [DataSmart] benefits small operators like ourselves but could equally benefit larger network operators in a cost effective manner.”
