As the pizza shop owner contemplated options to shrink his work week while maintining control over his investment and operations, he looked at a number of alternatives. Hire a GM (too expensive), reduce hours of ops (not profitable enough), continue working 80+ hours per week (not sustainable). Then he looked to video as a potential solution.
Questions of primary interest were: can I view the store from the internet whether I am at home or traveling; can I have multiple views within the store including the seating areas, kitchen areas and the counter; can I store video to aid in training my people to improve customer service, improve through-put and production and ensure that my register and sales match at the end of the day; and can I buy this on a subscription basis so that I don’t need to invest captial in the solution.
Next time: the answers.
