October came and went in a blur of costumes, candy and cooler weather (for most of us!)
If you’re stressed about how quickly 2023 is approaching, Clubessential has your end of year covered with the Year-End Readiness webinar series. These sessions were designed to make completing your fiscal year a breeze and will be offered multiple times to make sure you’re equipped to utilize your software to the fullest.
If you missed last month’s exciting Kitchen Display System announcement, look no further – you can access the full recording below or watch a quick summary if you’re curious about the Clubessential KDS but short on time.
During October’s webinar, Clubessential Product Manager RJ Hoendorf showed clubs how to improve dining experiences through enhanced staff efficiency and data-driven insights made possible by our new Kitchen Display System (KDS) solution.
