The average independent restaurant loses 4–10% of revenue to food waste every year.
That's $40,000–$100,000 on a $1M revenue location — money that disappears into over-ordering, spoilage, and poor prep planning.
Used by independent restaurants & growing chains
Stop guessing how much to order. RestIQ reads your sales data, tracks your inventory, and tells you exactly what to buy and when.
Connect your POS via API or daily CSV sync. RestIQ automatically deducts ingredients from each sale and alerts you before you run out mid-service.
Predicts covers and item demand up to 7 days ahead using weather, local events, historical trends, and day-of-week patterns. Order smarter every time.
Track every item wasted — prep waste, spoilage, voids, comps. See your true food cost variance and pinpoint exactly where margins are leaking.
RestIQ generates and sends purchase orders to your distributors automatically based on forecasted demand and current stock levels. No spreadsheets.
Real-time food cost percentage by item, category, and location. Compare actual vs. theoretical cost and see exactly which menu items are killing your margins.
Manage inventory across all locations from one dashboard. Transfer stock between locations, benchmark performance, and spot outlier waste patterns.
One-click OAuth or daily CSV export. We support Square, Toast, Clover, Lightspeed, Revel, and more.
Add ingredient quantities per menu item once. RestIQ calculates theoretical usage and COGS automatically from there.
