Save Time and Cut Food Costs by 1-3% with PAR OPS
Cost savings are hiding in your restaurant operations. They could stem from overpaying vendors, overpouring beverages, incorrectly following recipes and product spoilage, but you’ll never find them if you’re using spreadsheets or even an outdated restaurant inventory program.
Make informed inventory decisions on the go with PAR OPS’s leading-edge restaurant inventory software that unifies your data into one enterprise operational platform for all users, brands, and locations – from corporate down to the store level.

Manage Inventory from Anywhere
Whether you’re counting inventory as it’s unloaded from the truck, conducting weekly checks in your walk-in coolers and freezers, or updating stock as you restock the bar, PAR’s food and inventory software is designed to go wherever you go.
This versatile tool ensures you can seamlessly manage your inventory from any location, keeping your operations efficient and up-to-date:
- Label all food items as soon as you receive a delivery
- Enhance inventory checks with easy-to-read food expiration labels versus handwritten notes
- Easily create Prep/Pull/Thaw/Cook sheets to produce fresher, safer food and reduce waste
- Set alerts to identify low-stock items BEFORE they run out
Optimize food costs with accurate food cost variance, menu engineering, theft prevention tools, and supply chain accountability.
Analyze Data for Decreased Food Cost Variance
Tracking and managing food cost variance is vital to your restaurant’s success. To run a profitable restaurant, most owners and operators keep food costs between 28 and 35% of revenue. Being aware of your restaurant’s food cost variance can mean the difference between being happily in the black, frustratingly in the red, or shuttering locations.
If you don’t know the actual food cost spent on every order, you can’t:
- Gauge the effectiveness of your procurement efforts and supply chain accountability
- Accurately calculate your food cost percentage for menu engineering and pricing
- Combat food waste
- Create accurate budget and sales forecasts
- Prevent, spot and stop theft
Spend less time analyzing food costs and more time creating memorable experiences for your guests and team to help your brand become a favored destination.
