Oracle MICROS InMotion is a revolutionary app that provides restaurant operators with quick and easy access to real-time business analytics, anywhere and anytime. For single or multiple properties, view live graphs of today’s key performance indicators such as sales, labor cost, discounts, check count and ticket time. A built in forecasting engine allows for an overlay of both same day last week and last year comparisons, as well as a projected forecast for today and the trend for the next two weeks. Receive alerts and push notifications when key indicators fall outside normal ranges, or when critical problems occur, such as credit cards failing to settle. Manage your labor by viewing and ranking employee performance on all key factors, and be warned when an employee approaches or enters overtime. View a breakdown of checks by tender or discount type, including full check-level detail. The Check Lookup feature lets you retrieve individual guest checks by location, date or amount – and email a copy of the check instantly, right from your device!
