How Does Fido Work?
Fido will install a proprietary “crunch” program on each restaurant's back office computer. This program
retrieves POS sales and labor data every hour and transmits it back to Fido’s web service over a secure internet
connection. Other information such as inventory counts, invoices, employee schedules, and manager log entries
are entered directly into Fido by store level employees. Clients can log into Fido’s website to view all of their
consolidated business information. Fido can handle any number of restaurants and as many different concepts
or POS Systems as required. Information is kept on a centralized database ensuring consistent information.
Mid-to-Large Size Restaurant Companies (20+ locations)
While web-based applications requiring monthly fees are an adequate solution for smaller restaurant groups,
they are often a poor fit for mid-to-large size restaurant companies. As concepts continue to grow, they typically
require customizable solutions that mesh with the business model, not a one size fits all product. Fido
encourages restaurant companies with more than 20 units to purchase the product up front and install it on
their own servers. If your company does not have corporate servers, Fido will assist in setting up a hosted
platform. Fido begins each integration with a deep consultation with the client's executive and management
teams to determine what business challenges they face and how we can best assist in overcoming those
challenges. With each implementation, Fido allots a set number of custom development hours to address a
client's unique needs. Whether it be new reports, customized exports for third party packages, or entirely new
screens, consider Fido your IT consultant.
Growing Restaurant Companies (< 20 locations)
Since an upfront investment is not feasible for most restaurant companies on the grow, we offer an affordable
subscription-based product. Because Fido is a web-based application there is no equipment to buy, no software
to install at the customer level, and in most cases, no additional employees required to maintain it. Fido can be
integrated with most windows based electronic POS systems.
Who Will Use Fido at My Business?
Executive/Regional Management
Executives and regional management can view consolidated real-time business information
via the web. Executives can make proactive, informed decisions saving time and profit. Data
views are customizable by concept, state, management territory, etc. Fido can also send
email and/or text messages containing sales, labor, discount, and overtime information.
Restaurant Management
Restaurant management can throw out all of those dated spreadsheets because Fido offers new tools to run a
restaurant! Fido includes a food and bar cost inventory module with ideal costs and ingredient level variances.
Managers can create employee schedules using Fido’s online scheduler which integrates directly with the POS
system. The scheduler keeps track of all employee time off and shift trade requests; management simply needs
to approve those requests for them to be applied to the schedule. Fido includes a manager log book to track
employee issues, repairs, special events, etc. Fido can send email or text message alerts to restaurant
management when key labor, discount, sales, or void thresholds are surpassed.
Hourly Employees
All hourly employees are provided with their own unique user name and password. They may access Fido to
view and print work schedules, trade or drop shifts (manager approval required), change their work schedule
availability (manager approval required), and update their email and text settings.

nimbly in a constantly changing landscape. Fido includes various store ranking reports, making it effortless for
operators to identify underperforming locations.

Sales Analysis
Fido sales screens provide users with real-time information making timely and informed business decisions a
reality. All information is easily viewable at the concept, regional, management, and location level. Fido has
a wide variety of sales views including, but not limited to, the following:
Sales Summary - Provides a quick view showing key top-level sales information. Included in this view are gross
sales, net sales, guest counts, check counts, check average, discounts, and void reporting. This information can
be easily compared to prior year’s sales to monitor the ongoing performance of the business. Users may click on
row headings to drill for more detailed information.
Ranking by Location or Staff - The rankings module allows for the sorting and ranking of restaurant locations or
by staff member by sales volume, check average, guest count, and check count. This easily identifies the strong
and/or underperforming locations or staff members.
Sales by Hour, by Day, and Week Part Analysis - Fido provides sales and covers by the hour-of-day or day-ofweek. This feature proves valuable in locating areas of sales opportunity and ultimately determining if the hours
of operation need adjustment. The week part module proves itself useful in analyzing traffic patterns for
specific day groupings.

Menu Mix Reporting
Menu Mix Analysis by Category
The menu is a restaurant's financial blueprint. Monitoring and reacting to changes in menu mix and product
cost is crucial to a successful and profitable concept. The Menu Mix by Category screen displays sales, ideal cost
and margin contribution by total category giving users a birds-eye view of their mix and pinpointing areas of
strong performance by sales and margin. It also aids in locating areas of opportunity and proves itself invaluable
in determining the bottom line impact of menu additions or adjustments.
Menu Mix Analysis by Item
Unlike the Menu Mix by Category screen, this screen breaks mix down by individual item (shown below). The
screen allows users to view each menu item's mix by count, sales, ideal cost, and the overall contribution to
margin. This data can be broken down by menu category type for proper management. All data is displayed in
columns that can be sorted or moved and is easily exported to other applications such as Excel or PDF.
Menu Mix by Item screen displayed
Easily see what items contribute the most to overall margins
and pinpoint low margin items. This makes Menu
Engineering very easy. Keep in mind that all columns can
be sorted by clicking on the column heading.

customizable by client’s menu types.

Check Average Analysis
Guest Average by Location
The magic phrase in any restaurant today is “up sell.” Operators can repeat the phrase as much as they would
like, but if they have no way of effectively tracking results, how do they know if it’s working? The Guest Average
by Location screen compares each location's guest average by overall menu or by desired sales type (shown
below). This screen is ideal for discovering who is up selling and who is not. For example, users can easily
segregate and compare dessert guest check averages by location or compare year-over-year averages to see
which locations are experiencing significant improvement. This module is also ideal for tracking sales contest
results.
See who is focused on up sells and what locations need attention.
Also great to track sales trends after menu changes.
Guest Average by Location screen displayed
Menu category selection drop down.
Average by Category
Most restaurants are aware of their overall guest average but are unaware of how that average is distributed
across various sales types. The Guest Average by Category screen breaks down the entire guest check average
by individual category giving users insight into which sales types contribute most significantly to the top line.
For example, a location's guest average may be $10.00. The Guest Average by Category screen is equipped to
break that average down into sales types such as: $1.50 in appetizers, $6.50 in entrees, $0.50 in beer sales,
$0.50 in NA Beverages, and $1.00 in dessert sales. Averages can be viewed by individual location or at the
concept level. Guest averages can also be easily compared to the prior year allowing operators to assess long
term spending trends.

Discount and Promotion Tracking
Promotions
The primary goal in running promotions is to generate revenue. Tracking the sales information from a
promotion is very important to determine if coupons or discounts are successful, and more importantly,
profitable. All sales and traffic information for promotions is easily generated through Fido's promotion tracking
feature (shown below). Simply select the promotion you want to view and Fido pulls all gross and net sales,
discount totals, guest traffic patterns, and check average. All of this information can be sorted by location to
identify which stores are redeeming and generating the most sales.
Discounts
Discount history can speak volumes about how well a restaurant is managed. High discount levels are often an
indicator of operational issues such as poorly trained staff, inept management, employee theft, unsightly
restaurant conditions, as well as a host of other factors. These issues lead to profit loss and poor customer
experience. The ability to detect, track, and prevent these issues is one of the primary roles of Fido's discount
tracking module. Fido provides a variety of reports capable of tracking discounts by region, location, manager,
or staff member.
Easily see traffic and revenue generated from
promotions and discounts.
Discount Tracking screen displayed

customizable by client.

Labor Reporting/Productivity
Labor is typically a restaurant's largest expense, and therefore, well managed labor is crucial to a healthy bottom
line.
Labor Summary - Provides a look at all labor statistics and key productivity measures in real time. Statistics
include: regular and overtime hours, labor as a percentage of sales, labor cost per sales dollar, labor cost per
cover, and sales per labor hour. Users have the ability to drill all the way down into punch-level data in this
screen when researching possible issues.
Hourly Labor - Breaks labor statistics down to the hour-of-day / day-of-week level. This module is very
powerful in pinpointing and eliminating areas of inefficiency in scheduling and shift retention and is invaluable in
building profitable schedules.
Payroll Exports - Custom payroll exports can be easily defined and executed in Fido's powerful Custom
Export module. Fido supports a variety of file types and can be set up to export data for any timeframe and any
combination of stores.

Email and Text Messaging
Updates
Users can configure Fido to automatically email or text message sales information at specific times throughout
the day. This powerful feature keeps operators continually updated on the key metrics of their business. Email
updates are not limited to just sales information, nearly any data point on the Fido system is available via email:
Labor percentages, labor productivity, discount information, voids, and covers, just to name a few.
Alerts
Fido constantly monitors critical data points and immediately alerts operators of issues. These alerts are set up
by the user based on their specific criteria. For example, an operator may want a notification when an
employee enters overtime. When Fido detects that an employee is receiving overtime pay, an alert email or text
message is generated within no more than one hour of the event. Like the email updates, Fido can alert
operators on almost any data point in the system.
An example of an email
update message.
Many data points are
available for update/ alerts
via email or text message.
Custom Data Exports
Data in Fido can be exported to third-party software and vendors, including (but not limited to) payroll
processing companies and accounting packages. Fido includes a Custom Data Export section that allows users to
create specific export file types with their desired data. For example, a user may want to export system wide
consolidated payroll data for the last two weeks and include names, pay rates, job codes, and hours worked per
shift. The user can simply select the appropriate date range and locations and run the export.

Manager Log Book
Time to get rid of those cumbersome handwritten log books!
Log Book Uses and Categories
Fido’s Manager Log can be used as a Human Resources tool to record employee activity such as worker comp
claims, warnings, write-ups, praise given, or termination reasons. It can also track guest compliments,
complaints, injury claims, valuable suggestions, and equipment maintenance. The manager log categories are
controlled by the end user giving them the ability to track any piece of information that they find germane to
their business operation. Common log book categories:
Employee New Hire
Employee Praise
Employee Write-up
Employee Termination
Weather
Guest Praise
Guest Incident/Injury
Guest Complaint
Equipment Repair
Building Repair
Special Events
Large Discount
Searching
There is no longer a need to manually fumble through page after page of logbook entries to locate information
on some distant incident. All Fido Manager Log records are easily searched by location, category, employee,
date range, or key word making retrieval and printing of records very efficient!
Manager Log screen displayed
All records can be emailed to keep
management updated.

Labor Scheduler
Labor cost is one of the primary operating expenses for restaurants, so managing it well is crucial for success.
Managing labor on outdated spreadsheets leaves something to be desired in this age of information. Managers
and hourly employees expect to be empowered with online tools so that they can easily stay on top of their
scheduling needs.
Creating Schedules
Schedule creation is broken down by customizable departments (server, host, bartender, and cook) allowing
department managers to be in control of their own schedules. When a new schedule is created, Fido will
prompt the user for projected sales for the schedule week while providing historical sales for reference. During
the scheduling process Fido also provides expected labor costs, productivity, and percentages based on
scheduled labor and projected sales letting management know instantly if they are on target to meet their goals
or if they need to reduce labor during certain periods of the day. Once schedules are finalized, Fido sends
messages to employees informing them of their newly scheduled shifts.
Single Employee Working at Multiple Locations
Should an employee work at multiple locations, Fido has controls built in to ensure that the employee is not
scheduled to work at more than one location at a time. It also performs all overtime calculations based on the
total hours scheduled across all properties to prevent the unnecessary accrual of overtime pay.

Labor Scheduler (continued)
Managing Time Off Requests and Shift Trades/Drops
No more posting sticky notes in the office or having to write down shift change requests in the log book. Fido
manages all of this information for you. Employees can log in to Fido and request time off, drop a shift, pick up a
shift, or trade a shift with another employee. All shift change details are taken care of by the employees.
Management simply receives a shift change request message and they can approve or deny the request. Fido
will alert management when they try to approve a shift change that will put an employee into overtime. If
multiple employees attempt to pick up a single shift, Fido relays details such as pay rate and resulting hours so
that the best selection may be made for the assignment.
New Employees
New employee data is automatically retrieved from the POS system, and therefore do not need to be keyed
manually into Fido. “Welcome Forms” may be printed by management and distributed to new employees.
These forms contain three pieces of information: the employee’s system generated temporary user credentials,
a brief description of Fido’s capabilities, and a brief set of instructions on how to properly use the features
available in the system.
Example of a new employee Welcome Form
New employees
automatically import
from the POS.
New user id and
passwords are
automatically created
by Fido.
POS Integration
Depending on the capabilities of your POS system, schedules created in Fido can oftentimes be automatically
imported into your POS’s labor management system. Having schedule data in the POS system helps prevent
early clock-ins, late clock-outs, and unscheduled punches shaving valuable hours from the labor line each week.

15
Employee Access
With online scheduling becoming more prominent in the restaurant industry, hourly employees are beginning to
expect this perk from employers. Placing a powerful tool like Fido into the hands of employees empowers them
to communicate with co-workers more easily and to take a more active role in managing their own schedules.
Viewing and Printing Schedules
Hourly employees can log in to Fido and view or print their schedules from the My Schedule screen. In addition,
employees can easily email their schedule to family and friends. Fido users are given the ability to print either
their personal upcoming shifts or the full work schedule which details upcoming shifts for all employees.
My Schedule screen displayed
Employee shifts are
displayed on the main
login screen where they
may be traded or
dropped.

Videos and PDFs

user manuals.
www.RunFido.com
16
Employee Access (continued)
Requesting Time Off
Employees have the ability to send time off requests to managers through Fido. They simply specify the dates,
the shift (am, pm, or both), and a brief explanation for the time off request and it is immediately routed to
management for approval. Once management approves or denies a request the requesting employee receives a
message communicating management’s decision. If the request was approved, managers are blocked from
assigning shifts to the employee during the time in which they have approved time off.
Add, Drop, or Trade a Shift
Employees can add, drop, or trade shifts with other employee in Fido. If an employee drops a shift, a message
will go out to all employees with that same job function letting them know that a shift is available. Employees
may then login and attempt to pick that shift up. Once management has approved or denied a shift trade, a
message will go out to the employee that dropped the shift as well as all employees that attempted to pick the
shift up informing them of management’s decision.
Change Availability
Availability can also be changed online with Fido. For example, an employee beginning to take college courses
on Tuesdays and Thursdays may mark themselves as unavailable on those days. Pending approval, management
will be prevented from scheduling the employee on those days in future schedules. If the aforementioned
employee’s class is cancelled next Tuesday, he has the ability to go back in and make himself available just for
that day without manager approval.
Email and Text Message Alerts
Employees personally manage their email and text message settings in Fido offering them the opportunity to be
constantly up to date on all schedule activity pertaining to them.
Employee Settings screen displayed
Employees manage
their own email and
text message alerts.
Messaging
Fido provides an internal messaging system for employees and management that automatically communicates
schedule updates, shift trade opportunities and results, as well as simple communications amongst employees.
The Fido message system is available to all employees with access to the scheduling module and may be
accessed from the ‘My Schedule’ screen.
www.RunFido.com
17
Physical Inventory
Keeping inventory at a functional yet streamlined level is vital to controlling cost. Accomplishing this through
the use of spreadsheets proves very difficult, if not impossible. Fido comes equipped with a restaurant level
inventory system in which physical inventory counts may be entered.
Inventory Templates / Count Sheets
An unlimited number of site specific inventory templates may be set up for each restaurant. The products in
these templates may be ordered as they are on the shelves providing for quick inventory entry.
Inventory Entry
In the inventory entry screen, users can use two different counting units for each ingredient (shown below). For
example, they could count iceburg lettuce by the head and by the case if desired. All inventory prices are based
upon last purchase cost from the invoices screen, guaranteeing up to date inventory values. Once inventories
are posted they are accessible by all management. Historical inventory counts and prices are easily retrievable
as well. All inventory account totals and/or line item detail can be exported in multiple formats.
Template and inventory totals dollar amount are displayed at the
top of the screen.
Account breakdowns, such as grocery or dairy costs, can be
printed from the main inventory screen.
Inventory Entry screen displayed
All user defined templates
appear in the template drop

Prep instructions and photos may be included on recipes for training and reference purposes. Printed recipes
include batch size and cost and may be printed individually or with an entire cookbook.
Photos may be uploaded to all recipes

19
Ideal Cost of Goods
Ideal Food and Bar Cost Targets
Just a few years ago ideal food and bar cost systems were viewed as a luxury. Today they are considered vital to
the management and performance of operations in any restaurant. Fido calculates an ideal food and bar cost
for each restaurant based on their individual POS menu mix, current market pricing, and spec recipe quantities.
This formula allows for the most accurate and profitable food and bar cost targets. So accurate, that
management performance and bonus plans may be based on them.
Ingredient Level Variance Reporting
Knowing an ideal cost target is only half of the solution to controlling food and bar costs. Fido includes full ideal
versus actual food and bar reporting at the ingredient level. These reports tell management exactly where cost
problems exist, making it very easy to correct issues and move closer to an ideal target. Our experience has
found that the typical full service restaurant will lower food and bar costs by 2% or more (as a percentage of
gross sales) upon the establishment of accurate ingredient level variance reporting. This means that Fido is
capable of paying for itself within the first few weeks of use!

Purchase Order Module
Purchase Order Entry

automatically split purchase orders by the lowest priced contract vendor making it easy to reduce cost of goods
sold at the supplier level. The po module is user friendly and includes the following features:
- Fido suggests order quantities based upon par levels less projected on hand quantities
- Fio splits orders based upon the lowest contract price vendor
- Orders can be sent via email directly to vendors from Fido
- Orders can be printed in a fax friendly format
- Fido can also provide custom electronic interfaces to equipped vendors

21
Accounts Payable
Invoice Entry
Fido provides a store-level invoice entry screen. This allows all invoices to be keyed at the restaurants to save
on corporate overhead if desired. The invoice entry screen is user friendly and includes the following features:
-
Restaurants may create site specific invoice templates for quick invoice entry
Invoices and order guides may be imported from vendors for quick payment
Distributes taxes and credits across invoices providing complete product costs
A/P information may be exported to third party software using Fido’s data export module
Purchase History Reporting
Fido provides detailed ingredient purchase reporting that is capable of tracking historical purchase quantities
and prices for all ingredients. This is a useful resource when negotiating new contract prices with current
vendors, sourcing new vendors for better product pricing, and tracking market price fluctuations.
Purchase History screen displayed
Easily view purchase history and
vendors with the highest pricing
Contract Price Variance
Operators simply cannot rely on vendors alone to charge the correct price for items purchased under contract.
Without the proper tools, it can be very time consuming to research and detect overcharges. Fido includes a
Contract Price Module that is well equipped for detecting such variances.
Restaurant-level contract prices can be added to Fido by vendor and date range. Adding contract prices by date
range allows Fido to account for price changes and adjust its reporting as needed, making it a snap to run
accurate discrepancy reports for long periods of time. The discrepancy report includes all critical information
including invoice number, date, quantities purchased, contract price, price charged, and credit due. With all
vital information contained in this report, operators can simply email or fax it to the offending vendor and
request a credit to their account.

Other Features (included in all packages)
POS Guest Check Retrieval
Fido has the ability to retrieve guest check copies from the POS. This means no more emailing or faxing check
copies. This feature proves invaluable for researching guest complaints, operational issues, accounts receivable
reconciliation, and employee theft tracking.
Retrieve Check screen displayed
Get a copy of any
guest check over the
web through Fido
Cash Reconciliation
The reconciliation screen displays sales figures broken out by transaction class such as cash, credit card (by
type), and gift card. This screen also displays an expected cash deposit that is matched with the entered deposit
from the POS ultimately producing a calculated over/short figure.
Deposit Tracking
Fido also includes a Deposit Tracking screen that allows users to reconcile their bank deposit statements. Keep
in mind that the deposit keyed into the POS may not be what actually makes it to the bank. This screen
manages the daily deposits and gives a true over/short based on expected deposit, deposit entered into the
POS, and the true bank drop.
