Restaurant Automation System
Complete restaurant automation, from order management to inventory tracking and staff scheduling, all in one system.
Rushing Orders, Burning Margins
The restaurant was growing but operations were chaotic, orders got lost, inventory spoiled, and staff scheduling was a weekly headache.
Order Errors
Handwritten orders, verbal communication to the kitchen, and no tracking, led to wrong dishes, delayed service, and customer complaints.
Food Waste
No inventory tracking meant over-ordering ingredients, spoilage, and inability to calculate true food costs per dish, eroding margins.
Staff Scheduling Chaos
Schedules managed in WhatsApp groups. No visibility into labor costs, no shift swap system, and difficulty forecasting staffing needs.
What CRES Built
An integrated restaurant management platform, from front-of-house to back-of-house, automating the chaos and giving management full control.
Order Management System
Digital order taking via tablets, table-side ordering, kitchen display system, order status tracking, and automated communication between FOH and BOH.
Menu Engineering & Pricing
Real-time menu cost analysis, profit margin tracking per dish, and recommendations for pricing adjustments based on ingredient cost changes.
Inventory & Waste Tracking
Automated ingredient consumption tracking, waste logging, supplier management, and reorder alerts. Never run out of key ingredients or over-stock perishables.
Staff & Scheduling
Shift scheduling with availability management, shift swaps, labor cost tracking, and performance dashboards, integrated with sales data for staffing optimization.
