Featuring advanced AI technology, UniFocus also stands out for its unique ability to leverage intelligent algorithms to automatically forecast service demand levels, not just by the day, but by the hour and by individual operational area.

Solutions available to restaurants under the UniFocus umbrella include Knowcross Service, Maintenance, Glitch and Inspections. Each platform is fully mobile enabled to provide teams with a real-time analysis of current assignments, repair issues or customer concerns. This not only prevents tasks from being overlooked but also allows over-stretched employees to better balance workloads and focus on priority assignments requiring immediate attention.  
  
"Restaurant operations involve many moving parts when it comes to effective labor management and with the additional challenges brought on by the workforce shortage and new regulations, it is critical that businesses can rely on technology providers to create an environment of maximum efficiency across all employee touchpoints," said Mark Heymann, Founder of UniFocus. "Until now, the restaurant industry could only deploy a piecemeal approach to managing their workforce, resulting in missed opportunities to make service improvements, increase revenue and create a workplace culture that boosts staff loyalty. UniFocus is honored to serve as the industry's first full-service labor management provider and we look forward to seeing more restaurants leverage our advanced tools to make faster, yet more informed decisions that simultaneously address the needs of employers, their customers and staff alike."       
  
As more employees seek jobs offering greater financial stability, UniFocus also provides restaurateurs with the ability to offer instant access to wages and tips. Once a shift has been completed, staff members can receive up to 50 percent of their earned wages as well as tips, using UniFocus' advanced Tip Distribution System. Daily access to earnings can make all the difference for employees who live paycheck to paycheck. This ability significantly eliminates the need for employees to have to rely on predatory lending services while preventing an otherwise content and productive staff member from seeking opportunities elsewhere.
