Industry guide

Software for restaurants

Restaurants take orders from the counter, the table and three delivery aggregators at once, control food cost only through recipe-level stock consumption, onboard high-turnover staff in minutes and need peak-hour speed more than feature depth.

What breaks generic software here

The specifics a vendor demo will gloss over unless you raise them.

  • Orders arrive from the counter, the table and three delivery aggregators simultaneously
  • Recipe-level stock consumption is the only way to control food cost
  • Staff turnover is high, so onboarding has to take minutes not days
  • Peak-hour speed matters far more than feature depth
  • Multiple outlets need consolidated reporting without slowing each till down

Your demo checklist

  • Ask the vendor to show how they handle: staff turnover is high
