Some embodiments of the invention provide systems and methods for deploying employees to roles in a restaurant. For example, some embodiments are directed to basing employee deployment decisions at least in part on a combination of quantitative data and qualitative assessments of performance by various employees in various roles. Qualitative assessments may, for example, relate to an employee's success in promoting customer satisfaction, or to the accuracy of quantitative data relating to a task or function.

1. A system for use in analyzing operations of a restaurant having at least one operational system deployed therein, the system comprising: at least one recording device, configured to capture at least one of audio recordings and video recordings of occurrences in the restaurant;at least one computer-readable storage medium having instructions encoded thereon; andat least one computer processor, programmed via the instructions to: access quantitative data generated by the at least one operational system, the quantitative data comprising at least one quantitative measure of a performance by an employee in a first role in the restaurant during a time period;access at least one of an audio recording and a video recording, captured by the at least one recording device, of the employee performing in the first role during the time period;analyze the at least one of the audio recording and the video recording to generate a qualitative assessment of the employee's performance in the first role in the restaurant during the time period; andgenerate an overall assessment, using the qualitative assessment and the at least one quantitative measure, of the employee's performance in the first role. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein the qualitative assessment relates to an interaction between the employee and at least one customer during the time period. 3. The system of claim 1, wherein the qualitative assessment relates to a communication of information by the employee to at least one other employee during the time period. 4. The system of claim 1, wherein the at least one computer processor is programmed to determine, based at least in part on the overall assessment, whether the employee is to remain in the role in a future time period. 5. The system of claim 4, wherein the at least one computer processor is programmed to, if the determination is that the employee is not to remain in the role in the future time period, automatically redeploy the employee to another role during the future time period. 6. The system of claim 4, wherein the at least one computer processor is programmed to, if the determination is that the employee is not to remain in the role in the future time period, automatically identify another employee to be assigned to the role in the future time period. 7. The system of claim 4, wherein the employee has a manager, and wherein the at least one processor is programmed to, if the determination is that the employee is not to remain in the role in the future time period, communicate a recommendation to the manager to redeploy the employee to another role during the future time period. 8. The system of claim 1, wherein the qualitative assessment relates to validating accuracy of at least some of the quantitative data. 9. The system of claim 1, wherein the at least one of an audio recording and a video recording comprises a first audio recording, and wherein the at least one computer processor is programmed to employ at least one speech recognition tool to analyze the first audio recording. 10. The system of claim 1, wherein the at least one of an audio recording and a video recording comprises a first video recording, and wherein the at least one computer processor is programmed to employ at least one image analysis tool to analyze the first video recording. 11. The system of claim 1, wherein the at least one computer processor is programmed to generate a plurality of qualitative assessments relating to the employee's performance in the first role during the time period, each of the plurality of qualitative assessments relating to the employee's performance of a different function in the first role during the time period. 12. A system for use in analyzing operations of a restaurant having at least one operational system deployed therein, the system comprising: at least one recording device, configured to capture at least one of audio recordings and video recordings of occurrences in the restaurant;at least one computer-readable storage medium having instructions encoded thereon; andat least one computer processor, programmed via the instructions to: access quantitative data generated by the at least one operational system, the quantitative data comprising at least one quantitative measure for each of a plurality of employees in the restaurant, the at least one quantitative measure for each one of the plurality of employees relating to the one employee's performance in a corresponding one of a plurality of roles in the restaurant during a corresponding previous time period, the plurality of roles in the restaurant comprising a first role;access at least one of an audio recording and a video recording, captured by the at least one recording device, of each one of the plurality of employees performing in the corresponding one of the plurality of roles during the corresponding previous time period;analyze the at least one of the audio recording and the video recording to generate a qualitative assessment of a performance by each one of the plurality of employees in the corresponding one of the plurality of roles during the corresponding previous time period; anddetermine, using the qualitative assessments and the quantitative data, which of the plurality of employees is to be assigned to the first role in the restaurant in a future time period. 13. The system of claim 12, wherein the qualitative assessment for each one of the plurality of employees relates to a performance by the one employee in the first role during a corresponding previous time period. 14. The system of claim 12, wherein the qualitative assessment for each one of the plurality of employees relates to a performance by the one employee in a role other than the first role during a corresponding previous time period. 15. The system of claim 12, wherein the at least one computer processor is programmed to analyze the at least one of the audio recording and the video recording to generate multiple qualitative assessments for one or more of the plurality of employees, the multiple qualitative assessments relating to the one or more employees each performing in multiple roles during corresponding previous time periods. 16. The system of claim 12, wherein a first employee of the plurality of employees is currently assigned to the first role, and wherein the at least one computer processor is programmed to select another of the plurality of employees to be assigned the first role instead of the first employee. 17. The system of claim 16, wherein the at least one computer processor is programmed to automatically reassign the first employee to a role other than the first role. 18. The system of claim 17, wherein the at least one computer processor is programmed to employ at least one of an audio recording or a video recording captured by the at least one recording device to determine whether the first employee reports to the other role to which he/she is redeployed. 19. The system of claim 12, wherein none of the plurality of employees is currently working in the restaurant, and the at least one computer processor is programmed to determine which of the plurality of employees is to be called in to work in the first role in the restaurant in the future time period. 20. The system of claim 12, wherein the at least one computer processor is programmed to generate an employee deployment model for the future time period by determining which of the plurality of employees is to assume each of the plurality of roles in the restaurant in the future time period.
