Restaurant managers all over the world use Avero’s Logbook to communicate with their teams about important events that occurred in their operation throughout the day. Good communication is critical in restaurant environments since one shift picks up where the last shift left off. The Logbook makes sure that every team can start with a complete picture of what’s going on in the restaurant. A custom set of fields (e.g. Maintenance Issues, VIPs, Service Notes, 86’ed Items, Employee Issues, etc.) let managers contribute the qualitative story of notable events and issues during the previous shift. This app replaces expensive physical notebooks found in the back office of restaurants. Whereas notebooks are static, susceptible to loss and damage, and aren’t integrated with sales and labor performance data, Avero’s Logbook pulls data directly from the POS and time clock systems to provide quantitative performance insights. Plus, local weather information and national holidays are included to help set expectations for upcoming shifts. Add national sporting events and local happenings with a few clicks, and include your promotions, live music, and happy hour specials too. With all this data in one place, Avero's Logbook paints a complete picture of performance. This is vital information to successfully planning the next shift, week, month, or same day next year. The beta version of Right Now reporting is here! We are testing these NEW features - available to all users that have Right-Now data. Now, Avero users can conveniently find Logbook & Reporting functionality in one location.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Avero Logbook at 4.8 against AccuBar's 4.0. Avero Logbook also leads on ratings volume (460 vs 2). AccuBar's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 8%) and monetization model (free vs freemium). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Avero Logbook holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Avero Logbook has 460 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 8% of Avero Logbook's written reviews are positive against 50% of AccuBar's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
