My first job was doing data entry for my Dad. He had written the computer programs to process and analyze the sales & labor data for the restaurant. But… in order for those to work, the numbers from the miles & miles of daily report receipts (yes, really - all the sales for the day were spit out on one looooong receipt - like the ones you get at CVS, but narrower, longer and the ink was purple) had to be input into the computer.
To be clear, this is a computer in the mid 80’s. Green screen, 2 floppy drives - one that the program ran on and the other one stored data. A miracle and a menace simultaneously. I can’t count the number of times the computer failed to write to the data storage and all the work I had just done had to be entered again. This is clearly why I HATE to have to re-do anything.
Despite requiring manual data entry, having these programs gave my parents a huge advantage. Payroll could be run at the stroke of a button (there wasn’t a mouse). Sales and labor data could be combined with food costs to see the most profitable hours and if scheduling changes were needed.
