Today, restaurant food ordering and procurement is more of an art than an exact science easily duplicated across the organization. In practice there is little automated repeatable process in place to help the manager optimize their purchasing for a given ordering period. The result is millions of dollars in over purchased food with a significant strain on the broad-line distributors ability to deliver. The eRestaurant SCM Suite procurement module can be easily configured to match or enhance you current business process. Our multiple ordering algorithms are assigned at the ingredient level to optimize suggested order quantities. Or integrated forecasting engine provides the history; and our distributor delivery calendar interface takes the guesswork out of the ordering horizon. In the end, managers can create and place food orders with the click of a button, monitor order status, receive electronic ASN’s, and automate credit and return process all done through a single user interface. On average eRestaurant clients reduce food and liquor orders by 25-30%.

At the corporate level eRestaurant Services SCM can automatically aggregate purchasing data and provide Purchasing Managers with integrated, coherent, consolidated, data on their company-wide food purchasing transactions, activity, exceptions, and patterns. Sophisticated distribution and manufacturer integration can completely automate the procurement process. Advanced web-based catalog management tools make it easy for trading partners to maintain and update catalogs.
