Strengthen Your Business Through Care and Continuity | Global Shared Services

August 29, 2023

Fall is approaching. This is a time for winding down, preparing for the upcoming holidays, and setting our sights on the possibilities of the new year ahead. It is also a time to determine what worked well over the past year and how you can strengthen your business through care and continuity – thinking through adjustments in systems, processes and vendors for the upcoming year.

As we enter the year’s final stretch, I would like to take some time to reflect on what an engagement with GSS looks like.

Our Commitment is Care and Continuity

At GSS, our focus is to strengthen your business through care and continuity from day one. We understand that a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work for our diverse clients. Instead, we tailor our state-of-the-art system to meet each organization’s unique needs. This customization allows us to gain valuable insights into performance and reporting, enabling us to provide actionable and strategic steps forward. Gathering information can take time, but that time can be minimized when the commitment is there, and we’re all working toward a shared goal.

The First 90 Days: Uncovering Opportunities for Growth

Within the first 90 days of our partnership, we work diligently to gain clarity on your business. By thoroughly investigating all integrated systems and ensuring data reconciliation, we uncover any gaps that may be holding an organization back from achieving its full potential. With this newfound understanding, we can deploy our resources to address areas of improvement in terms of advancement and financial stability.

Investing in Professionalism and Streamlining

Organizations choose to invest in GSS services for various reasons. Some strive to become more professional, enhancing their operations and establishing a solid foundation for sustainable growth. Others are looking to streamline their processes, reducing complexities, and increasing efficiency. Additionally, many organizations take retirement and succession planning seriously and work with us to ensure a smooth transition for the next generation of leaders. These are all critical moves to ensure organizational success.

Addressing Financial and Operational Challenges

That said, GSS recognizes that our clients come to us from different starting points. Some organizations have a solid financial and operational base but require assistance in evolving their businesses or addressing specific challenges. On the other hand, some organizations are in disarray, facing financial and operational chaos. In these cases, our team steps in to help sort through the challenges and provide guidance toward stability and growth. That’s where relationships and trust, along with our expertise in world class systems like Restaurant 365, come in.

Final Thoughts

Trust is the foundation of every business relationship. To support this, we promote open and continuous communication, fostering transparency between our team and our client. Our goal is to build up our clients for more success and give them the piece of mind that we have them covered on the financial stuff.

If you would like to explore new possibilities for growth and achievement or talk about timelines and needs for your own organization, drop me a line and let’s discuss where you are and where you would like to go.

From email to social media to traditional advertising, there are many ways to invite current and potential clients to engage with your business. However, your website is your most powerful tool when it comes to developing meaningful relationships and giving people a comprehensive view of your team, offerings, and ways in which you can help enhance their lives or solve problems. GSS took these benefits into account as we recently designed and unveiled our new site . Our intention revolves around a renewed ability to connect with clients, to showcase our competitive edge, reflect the current state of our services , and introduce strategies involved in helping restauranteurs gain an advantage. Based on my experience, I thought I’d share some ideas to consider regarding your restaurant's digital footprint. Intention is Key Along with awareness, business owners should consider what they want to convey through their website. Do you have a unique menu offering? A team of caring employees? High quality of service? Are you perfect for a lunch date or a family dinner after a sporting event? As your business evolves, make sure your website is updated to mirror that progress and build credibility with your customers. Reflecting Growth and Innovation A redesigned or updated site will allow you to showcase new menu offerings, testimonials, or community involvement which highlight your restaurant's evolution. For instance, GSS recently expanded our accounting and business intelligence services to include payroll . It's a move that communicates our commitment to staying ahead in the restaurant accounting sector and is now a significant part of our website. Enhancing User Experience User experience is equal to customer experience when it comes to technology. When someone visits your website, you want to ensure that their digital experience is as pleasant as the service they'll receive inside your restaurant. Paying attention to technological upgrades and trends such as faster load times, more intuitive navigation, and better mobile responsiveness can give you the upper hand in retaining visitors and encouraging engagement. If you offer a mobile ordering app , you'll want to keep a close eye on that experience while also keeping your menu, hours, and other information up to date. Boosting SEO and Visibility HubSpot reminds us that search engines prioritize websites that offer fresh content and up-to-date information. You want potential customers to hang out as long as possible on the site because that will continue to inform search engines that you are worthy of a higher ranking. By updating your website periodically, you can prioritize improving search engine optimization (SEO), a critical component of using the power of Google and other engines to drive traffic and boost sales. Final Thoughts GSS went into the web design process to create a seamless user experience, including streamlining navigation, enhancing content, and providing tools to drive business success. However, as Harvard Business Review says, "Businesses can't improve operations without honest and substantive feedback."
