When asked to rate the effectiveness of their efforts in that field, very few show great satisfaction at this point in time.. More than 50% of restaurants report that their initiatives in data areas, such as forecasting, sales and service optimization, customer perception, price optimization, employee productivity and more, are only moderately, slightly or not at all effective.
