Use Malcolm! software in your retail shop or restaurant

If you are a multi site / multi location business like a chain of shops or restaurants you’ll face the unique challenge of trying to provide a consistent experience to customers whilst having different staff in different locations who’ve never met each other and often have very short training cycles. Managers who do know the ropes may be shared across locations and can’t be everywhere at once.

When a service situation arises how can you ensure your staff on the ground know the “proper” way of doing things? How do you ensure they do everything just the way they are supposed to with consistency and thoroughness from site to site - just like your customer knows and expects.

Many businesses will have some sort of “manual” which details the ways things should be done. Often this manual is actually a ring binder with frayed pages that might be changed every so often by head office mail outs - (eg Christmas refund rules may get updated each year)

In some ways this isn’t a bad solution. It gives staff a go-to place for answers. But it could be so much better. A ring binder is hard to search. It’s hard to update. It isn’t interactive and it can also be misplaced!

There is a better way. And that better way is called Malcolm!

Use Malcolm! to...

Create a staff only knowledge base (replace ring binders!)
Store all your policies and the information staff need to know
