Purchasing and Inventory

Easy from the beginning

Inventory and purchasing your way.
e*Restaurant Inventory lets operators measure, control, and reduce food costs. Purchasing and Inventory includes: inventory control, ordering, receiving, transfers, waste, prep and pull, perpetual inventory and more.

Food cost represents the largest controllable cost center for the restaurateur yet historically restaurant organizations have been challenged by how best to manage this entity. Key to achieving the last few points in restaurant profitability is the ability to manage food inventory and purchasing within the restaurant.

The challenge is these systems are traditionally very complex to maintain and are difficult to execute at the store level. Older store-based technology usually fails because it requires keeping desktop solutions up to date when polling failure is the rule not the exception.

eRestaurants centralized browser- based food management module solves this complex problem. Our solution provides the flexibility and extensibility needed to conform to your established process and best practices and does not require synchronization.

Super Fast

Intuitive design let's you get the job done  - fast.
Inventory  and ordering have never been easier - or faster.

Take your inventory counts on paper, with a hand held data collection device, or with the new SMART device.  No matter how you record your counts, items are always presented in "shelf-to-sheet" order and entry screens are always up to date with the actual items you order for each location.

Incredible purchasing logic ensures you are making the most intelligent purchasing decisions.  Integration to your distribution network also makes submitting and receiving orders a simple process.

The result is the instant near real-time view of performance by store, region, and company, greatly enhancing management's ability to analyze and respond to sales trends, supply chain constraints,  and inventory control issues.

Use it to centralize your ingredient and recipe management, take inventory by unlimited number of ingredients and count frequencies, determine real-time product variance, creates warning messages, establishes a user audit trail, transfer product between locations, record waste and much more.

Amazingly Accurate

Gold in, gold out.
Everyone knows that all software solutions are only as good as the data that is put in them.  That's why every aspect of our design incorporates intuitive features and reminders that not only encourage but actually guarantee results.  At the heart of e*Restaurant Inventory and Ordering are algorithms that result in incredible accuracy.  Automatic indicators of potential inaccuracies and simplified controls allow operators to be confident that inventory counts are correct and food orders accurate.
