This guide tells you anything you need to know about the integration between Clover and Workfeed. The integration itself is super simple, but some questions naturally arise along the way. You can find answers to all your questions below!
How the integration works
Once you've enabled the integration between Clover and Workfeed, your sales data will automatically be sent from Clover to Workfeed. This allows you to see your sales and labor rate in real-time within Workfeed while also gaining access to deeper insights. Once you've gathered enough sales data, Workfeed will also provide you with revenue forecasts based on historical patterns taking aspects like weather into account. The combination of Clover and Workfeed ultimately allows you to schedule more accurately.
Enabling the integration
Login to your Clover account and search for "Workfeed" in Clover's App Market.
Click on 'Connect'.
You will be redirected to Workfeed where you can login to your account, or if you are not a Workfeed user yet, create a new account.
Click on Yes, connect to enable the integration.
The integration is enabled, you will be redirected to Workfeed's schedule view where the POS data will appear below every day of the week (only on today and historical days with data) and in the dashboard tab. If you do not see the data appear in the schedule view, make sure to check if POS data is enabled in the schedule interface settings which can be found by clicking on the '👁️' icon.
Benefits of the integration
Once you integrate Workfeed with your POS system, Workfeed will automatically retrieve your sales data from your POS system in real-time and visualize it below the schedule. When you click on the Sales figure, you'll be able to take a deeper dive into your sales figures with insights like:
Your sales in real-time
Sales comparisons with similar days
The distribution of sales throughout the day (total per hour)
Average revenue per guest (also requires a booking integration)
Average revenue comparisons with similar days
Having this data at your disposal enables you to create work schedules that match the expected revenue on any given day. At the same time, you can keep an eye on your labor rate to make sure you stay within your labor budget.
