How to properly close your stores with eRestaurant (and avoid show stoppers)

2 MINUTE READ

One additional (and extremely important) responsibility for closing managers is to properly close out eRestaurant BOH. When eRestaurant isn’t closed out properly, you’ll receive a “show stopper” error message and you won’t receive any of the Delaget reports you need to run a smarter operation.
