Webinar Recap: Real Strategies Restaurants Are Using to Boost Profit, Improve Hiring, and Stand Out

‍

Running a restaurant has never been more challenging, and never more full of opportunity. In our recent webinar, “Behind the Success: Real Strategies Restaurants Use to Stand Out,” MenuSifu and Workstream teamed up to show operators how the right technology stack can cut costs, strengthen team performance, and unlock real growth.

If you missed the session, here are the biggest takeaways—and how you can start applying them today.

‍

‍

1. Today’s Biggest Challenges Are Slowing Restaurants Down

Restaurant owners have shared that they’re battling three major obstacles:

• Attracting reliable employees in a tight labor market
• Standing out online amid increasing competition
• Managing too many disconnected systems, leading to higher costs and operational chaos

These challenges aren’t just frustrating, they directly impact profit, customer loyalty, and day-to-day efficiency.

‍

2. Workstream: Build a High-Performing Team Without Extra Work

Workstream demonstrated how restaurants can simplify every step of team management, from hiring to payroll, through a connected platform built for hourly workforces.

Workstream consolidates everything into one employee record, spanning hiring, scheduling, payroll, compliance, and more.

‍

Key insights:

• Automating interview scheduling dramatically reduces no-shows
• Smart filtering tools help owners find better candidates faster
• Payroll mistakes (which can cost thousands per violation) can be prevented through a unified system

‍

3. MenuSifu: A Complete Growth Engine for Independent Restaurants

• Increase visibility across Google, social media, and delivery channels

4. Turning First-Time Guests Into Loyal, High-Value Customers

‍
