The same service on a Tuesday at 11:45 am as on a Saturday at 8 pm.

Staff turnover, rush hours, franchising: in restaurants, standards slip fast. Smice teaches them from day one, checks them in the dining room and in the kitchen, and gets them corrected before the next service.

Your challenges

What makes a restaurant standard slip.

01

Staff turnover

A new team member must be up to speed in days, not months.

02

Rush hours

At peak times, habits take over from learned behaviours.

03

Hygiene

HACCP, temperatures, traceability: compliance is not negotiable.

04

Franchising

One promise kept by dozens of different operators.

The moments of truth

The journey we measure, step by step.

01

Greeting & seating

Waiting time, smile, wait announced.

02

Ordering

Advice, suggestions, allergens.

03

Service

Pace, attentiveness, food temperature.

04

Bill & departure

Speed, thank-you, last impression.

05

Kitchen & hygiene

HACCP, cleanliness, cleaning plan.

06

Drive-through & delivery

Order accuracy, waiting times.

The Smice method

Six steps to make your standards hold, applied to restaurants.

Discover the method →
01

Define

Smice Horizon · Smice Consulting

Your service standards turned into concrete behaviours: greeting within 30 seconds, waiting time announced at checkout, allergens displayed. One set of standards per format: dining room, counter, drive-through, delivery.

02

Learn

Smice Pulse

Every new team member discovers their key behaviours on mobile from their very first shift and confirms they have understood them. The manager sees who still needs training.

03

Anticipate

Smice Pulse · Smice Horizon

Opening, closing, cleaning plan, launch of a new menu: operations are scheduled restaurant by restaurant, with photo proof.

04

Self-assess

Smice Pulse

In five minutes, the team declares which standards don't hold, and why: Saturday staffing, broken equipment, product out of stock.

05

Measure

Smice Horizon · Auditors · Mystery shoppers

Mystery visits at lunch, at dinner and on delivery, hygiene audits by your managers, operational audits by our auditors: all on the same scorecard.

06

Correct

Smice Horizon · Smice AI

Every gap opens an action assigned to the restaurant manager, suggested by Smice AI and followed up until proof of closure.
