Fine dining restaurants require meticulous cost control and high operational standards. Restaurant365 helps these establishments manage ingredient costs, labor scheduling, and customer data for superior service.

Before, we were sometimes blindsided by prices increasing on key items like crab. If crab goes up by a quarter, then our CoGS are way off. One time, crab prices increased under our nose and we didn’t realize it until a couple of months later. We switched vendors at that point, but if we’d had Restaurant365 at the time, we would have been checking our price variances, so we would have saved a lot of money.
