Restaurant365

“Out of the box, Restaurant365 is the best one-stop solution in the market today , equipping restaurant owners with the right resources, all in one place. It’s the resource and solution we need to accurately and proactively record and monitor our bookkeeping and accounts payable. R365 gives us the financial insight necessary to run our company in a profitable way .”

“The biggest change overnight was moving from a static system to a dynamic system. I think having the one-stop shop has always been appealing to us, and we know we can integrate more. Restaurant365 has been a total game changer for us, not only from the accounting side but from operations as well.”

“We’ve probably saved two and a half percent on food cost. And we hope to save another percent and half at least this year on food cost because we’re able to share data.”

“Restaurant365 has been fantastic to work with. When I have questions, I just send in a ticket or use the chat channel, and somebody is right there to help me. That is better tech support than my other systems. We have many opportunities to continue improving our growing business with the support of Restaurant365 in the future.”

“It’s a very, very easy platform and I love it, honestly,” he concluded.”

“My assistant is quite helpful and knowledgeable, but she’s not a professional bookkeeper or accountant,” said Mr. Cocchi. “With R365, I can check her work through the workflow process, and nothing actually gets paid out until I approve it. It’s fantastic.”

“Because the Restaurant365 platform is extremely efficient, our books are closed by the 15th of the month, and often even sooner,” noted Mr. Cocchi. “And instead of waiting for our accountant to be freed up in April or May, we had our books closed and tax returns completed this year by January 15.”

“We tried doing bank reconciliation in QuickBooks on our own, but it was very tricky, so we were paying a third-party accountant $800 each month to do it,” explained Mr. Cocchi. “Now, with Restaurant365, bank reconciliation is so easy we can often do it ourselves in no time at all. If there is a problem that requires special attention, our accountant can handle it in less than an hour. Instead of $800 a month, we are now paying just $250 — so we’re saving $550 a month on accounting costs.”

“When I found out about Restaurant365 — fully integrated accounting, back of the house, scheduling, everything — I couldn’t believe it existed,” he said. “Once I saw what it could do, I fell in love with it. The integration was by far the most important factor, but I also liked that it was a cloud-based solution and that it was extremely easy to use. Moving to it was one of the easiest decisions I’ve ever made.”

““What else compares to it?” he asked, “don’t get left behind.””

““If you’re not already with Restaurant365, what’s wrong with you?””

““What’s exciting for me is the scalability,” he said. “We can implement in weeks flat.””

““I’m in 11 different states, so having control as well as assurance that all local rules and regulations are being followed is essential,” he said.”

““This saved us a tremendous amount of time,” Walker said, noting that processing invoices with an outside accounting firm often resulted in a bottleneck that slowed payments and made tracking down historical payments challenging.”

“Restaurant365 has truly transformed how we operate. From automation and visibility to profitability and guest focus, it’s taken us into the future of growth for Villa Restaurant Group.”

“If we ever find a way to make something easier, faster, better, and more accurate, we’re going to pursue it, especially if it’s already there, like in Restaurant365.”

“Our number one win with Restaurant365 is that when you look at food costs, we’ve become more consistent .”

““It’s staggering to think how much time we’re saving on payroll. We used to have a part-time person solely dedicated to processing our payroll. With Restaurant365, we’ve been able to reduce our accounting resources by 20%, even while adding eight new locations,””

““There’s no comparison between having a generic accounting system and one that’s dedicated to the restaurant business. The biggest difference is talking to support. They understand what we’re saying and they know all of the idiosyncrasies of the industry when it comes to POS systems and vendors. Restaurant 365 makes solving problems quicker and easier. We can fix issues within hours rather than days or weeks. Previously we were billed for submitting tickets to our reseller and now we contact support directly as needed,””

““Having master customer and vendor lists sounds simple, but in other systems we’d have to update an address 10 times. Now we update once and the information is unified across all of our entities,””

““We were able to digitize six large filing cabinets. Now, at the end of the year, we don’t dig through filing cabinets to access our data. Everything is at our fingertips.””

““We started exploring third-party software solutions to add onto our POS. We would have needed multiple layers of third-party software to obtain the functionality we wanted. It was going to be expensive and complicated to enhance our infrastructure as we grew. Then we found Restaurant365 and were floored by all it could do within one system. It was a no brainer.””

““When we decided to grow beyond one city, we needed to centralize our documents rather than physically drive around picking up invoices.””

““Cash flow is good,” he noted, “and we’re continuing to build and grow with Restaurant365 as an important part of that.””

““You can bring the horse to water, but you can’t force them to drink, right?” he added. “With Restaurant365, all of the metrics are right there for them, and they can easily see the issues they need to look at and solve. Now they’re kings of the castle, and they can start really managing the business.””
