Streamlined Operating Systems Benefit TacoTime Franchise Owners

Comprehensive and connected programs allow owners to be out front meeting customers, not stuck in the office dealing with piles of paperwork

Entrepreneurs love the idea of owning a small business, but the idea of operating it – maybe not so much. Spending many hours laboring over payroll, inventory and other paperwork is no one’s idea of fun — and it’s not a concern for TacoTime™ Mexican food franchise owners.

The Kahala Brands™ company has a long and solid history in the franchise world, and over time has developed back-office systems that are easy to learn and operate, and allow TacoTime franchise owners ease and efficiency when it comes to the necessary tasks of running the business, says John Wuycheck, Senior Vice President of Franchise Development.

Software suite handles major tasks

“A business has lots of needs, from inventory control and ordering to employee scheduling and payroll,” John says. “A TacoTime Mexican food franchise owner doesn’t want to spend all day in the office doing paperwork, and neither do his or her managers. They want to be out front, meeting customers and getting feedback on things like seasonal specials. That’s why the systems Kahala Brands has in place are so beneficial.”

During initial training, a TacoTime franchise owner learns how to use all the different parts of the system, and support is always just a phone call or email away. The goal is to create a fast, efficient way to keep up with back-office functions, which can cause trouble if they slip behind.

Comparisons help with good business practices

More importantly, the system allows a TacoTime Mexican food franchise owner to identify potential trouble spots early on. He or she also will get feedback in areas like scheduling hours and inventory usage, because the system allows all TacoTime® locations to be compared and evaluated. That means if one location has a similar revenue stream than another, but is using much more inventory, the situation can be addressed.

“A franchise owner may not know that something has gotten out of line, but the system keeps tabs on everything and is really helpful when evaluating those kinds of costs,” John says. “The end result is not just a better-run business, but one that is producing a higher income because costs are being properly controlled.”

TacoTime is ready for the spotlight. With more than 350 locations in the United States and Canada, the Mexican food franchise is ready to break out of its home turf in the Pacific Northwest and hit the national stage. TacoTime is looking for entrepreneurs who are passionate about bringing authentic and affordable Mexican food to their communities. TacoTime is led by a veteran franchise team and dedicated brand support team as part of the Kahala Brands™ family.
