Evoco Workspace for Hospitality & Restaurant Construction

"Opening soon" isn't soon enough. Tackle aggressive deadlines and win.

Until there is a maid putting a mint on the pillow, there's no revenue coming in. Building buzz for new ventures is difficult, and a perpetual "opening soon" can mean dwindling interest in a new hotspot. Aggressive timelines have to be faced with panache, or a vast investment can be lost.

Even if your locations are already built, your work isn't done - remodeling existing locations, whether to support brand consistency or simply to keep up to date, can hit your bottom line just as hard as a project that starts from the ground up. Whatever the cause, if you aren't taking reservations, you aren't making money.

And that's not even considering the struggle of keeping every stakeholder - GCs, brand owners, franchise owners, and more - heading in the same direction. Geographically dispersed teams can falter in brand compliance even with the best of intentions, with the use of out of date files or honest miscommunication. Crystal-clear visibility into project documents, progress, and direction is vital for everyone from upper management through trades.

Evoco Workspace is an online program and project management software solution that allows retail leaders to automate critical workflows from concept and prototype design, through to bid and project completion tasks... all while sharing vital project information across entire teams. Here's how:

Ensuring visibility - so many players have a role in launching a successful hospitality business that it's difficult for management to quickly assess project status. Managing by exception is key: personalized alerts flag when projects are going off track, giving management a chance to set things right early on. Robust reporting magnifies this insight across the entire team.
Standardized compliance process - once brand standards and workflow processes are defined and standardized, franchise and property owners, general contractors, and other project stakeholders have easy access to the information that makes compliance easy. Audit trails in the system keep everyone accountable - see all actions in the system, including document views.
Automating online communications - custom alerts and notices get the right information to the right people, in time to challenge aggressive schedules. And because there are so many stakeholders involved, distribution lists are vital to ensure no one gets spammed with information that isn't relevant to them.
Automating bid management - to choose GCs and suppliers effectively, you have to solicit dozens, if not hundreds of bids, managing a complex web of e-mail, phone and fax communications. Manually processing all this bidding information is slow, cumbersome, costly, and error prone. Evoco Workspace Bid Manager automates the process from bid package through bid comparison.

Using Evoco Workspace to orchestrate your hospitality & restaurant build program leads to reduced errors and less rework, saving time and money, streamlined processes result in faster project delivery, and reduced printing and distribution costs.

Get Workspace working for you, and have a grand opening.
