Do we have to replace our restaurant POS?

No. Your restaurant POS keeps taking orders and running the kitchen screens; each outlet's sales arrive in ERPNext, where ingredients are deducted by recipe and the day lands in the books. ERPNext runs the back office: central buying, the kitchen, outlets' stock, staff and accounts. We connect the POS you already use.

Does it work for hotels?

As the back office, yes: buying, stores, the kitchen, staff, payroll and the accounts. Reservations, the front desk and folios stay in your hotel system, which posts its revenue into the same books. We don't sell a hotel system ourselves, and we say so before anyone quotes.

Can we see food cost and variance by outlet?

Yes. Recipes are set up as bills of materials, so what each outlet sold deducts its ingredients, and a weekly count shows what should be on the shelf against what is. Variance shows by outlet and by item, while there's still time to act on it.

How long does it take?

It depends on outlets, brands, the central kitchen and which POS and PMS connect, so you get a written plan after a free call. Groups usually start with central buying and the kitchen, then add outlets one at a time once their stock and books agree.

It depends on outlets, brands, users and integrations, so it comes as a written scope after a free call. ERPNext has no per-user or per-outlet licence fee. What an implementation costs explains what moves the number and what you'd pay for hosting.

Questions restaurant groups ask us.

Have you done this for a restaurant group?

Not one we can name yet. That's why this page shows only what runs as standard and what stays in your POS and PMS. We'd start with central buying and one outlet, built first and paid for only if you like it, so you see it on your own stock before committing.
