Guide to Restaurant Management Software

A growing software menu that lowers costs, saves time and improves profits


Most people don't consider the restaurant business a high-tech endeavor. However, a growing number of restaurant-specific software programs have emerged to help you with nearly every aspect of running your business. And there's more good news: most of this software is affordable for smaller businesses that operate only a few eateries or even a single location. The various software products currently available can help you:
  1. Maximize profits
  2. Lower food costs
  3. Streamline staff scheduling
  4. Improve table and customer management
  5. Improve your reservations system
  6. Control inventory
  7. Design menus


Action Steps

The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Cost out your recipes Accurate recipe costing can put you on the fast track to success. With the right figures, you can easily identify your most profitable menu items as well as items that aren't cost-effective. Software programs eliminate human error in this crucial area.

I recommend:  Download a demo of OCLite, a food and recipe-costing software program that helps you adjust menu prices based on recipe costs so you can maximize profits. Try a trial version of CostGuard, which suggests selling prices based on recipe costs. Or download iPro recipe-costing software.

Reservations and table management Reservation software can help you reduce no-shows, take reservations from your Web site, identify VIPs and regulars, track customer preferences, capture customer contact information, and more. It can also help you maximize table management and improve your guest management.

I recommend:  Check out iMagic Restaurant Reservation or RCMS, or enroll with an online reservations system, such as OpenTable.com.

Control and track inventory In the restaurant business, controlling inventory is crucial in order to minimize waste and to avoid running out of necessary ingredients.

I recommend:  Compeat Restaurant Accounting Systems features a comprehensive inventory control feature that allows for customization.

Ordering and purchasing Look for software that streamlines the ordering and purchasing process so you can concentrate on revenue-generating activities.

I recommend:  The ordering and purchasing feature of ChefTec compares vendor bids, places orders based on the lowest cost, converts orders into invoices and transfers invoices into your accounting system.

Menu design If you make frequent changes to your menu or you simply don't want the hassle and expense of hiring a graphic designer, use software that helps you create designer-quality menus.

I recommend:  MenuPro includes more than 100 pre-designed menu styles, hundreds of food illustrations and even a culinary spell-checker

Staff scheduling Every restaurant owner knows that scheduling employees can be a real headache. When performed manually, the task is time-consuming and often results in mistakes, such as understaffing or overstaffing.

I recommend:  ScheduleWriter is a useful software tool that lets you create daily, weekly or monthly schedules in minutes. It also minimizes overstaffing and understaffing problems and alerts you to scheduling conflicts.

Tips & Tactics

Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide
  • If you operate more than one restaurant, test-drive the software in one before implementing it system wide.
  • Many restaurant software programs have powerful reporting features. Use them to analyze your sales, your customers and your menu. Make changes based on what you learn.
