AVERO LAUNCHES PARTNERSHIP WITH ROMANO'S MACARONI GRILL
Macaroni Grill Enlists Avero's Insight-Driven Business Intelligence, Avero Single-Server Mentoring, to Evaluate & Increase Server Performance
NEW YORK, NY - Damian Mogavero, CEO and founder of Avero, and
Norman Abdallah, CEO of Romano's Macaroni Grill, today announce that
the companies will partner together to roll out Avero Single Server
Mentoring across all 181 of Macaroni Grill's company-owned restaurants in
the United States. Based on the results of a successful eight-restaurant pilot, Macaroni Grill believes the partnership will increase restaurant
average check by 1 percent. "In this challenging economic environment, we see Avero Single Server Mentoring as one of the best ways to generate incremental revenue with limited capital expense," Abdallah says. "Avero Single Server Mentoring will help us increase sales, improve the menu knowledge of our service team, and help our servers take home more money in tips."
Avero Single Server Mentoring evaluates restaurants' sales data to identify the servers with the largest lost sales opportunities. The program indentifies servers' individual areas of opportunity to improve and sends restaurant managers recommended action steps for each server in the program. Certified Avero Trainers review progress with restaurant managers bi-weekly and employ an industry-tested curriculum to help managers become more effective mentors.
"Avero Single Server Mentoring is proven to be one of the best ways to increase sales and deliver a more consistent experience to restaurant guests," says Mogavero. "We saw phenomenal results during our pilot with Macaroni Grill and are excited to enter into a long-term partnership with such an innovative company."
