Restaurant food cost software FAQ
What does restaurant food cost software actually do?
It consolidates your broadline order guides (Sysco, US Foods, PFG, Gordon), normalizes products across vendors, tracks weekly price movement, and recommends the cheapest match on every product before you place the PO.
How is PriceSmartPro different from a generic inventory system?
Inventory tells you what you used. PriceSmartPro tells you what to buy and from whom — every week — by comparing live distributor pricing on the same product across all your broadliners.
Do I have to switch primary distributors?
No. Most groups keep their primary and use PriceSmartPro to cherry-pick the 10–20% of products where a secondary broadliner is cheaper that week. Your contract commitments stay intact.
What does the platform cost?
The Single Operator plan is $399 per location per month with a 5-location minimum ($2,000/month floor). No setup fees, no per-user charges, no punchout transaction fees.
How long until I see savings?
Most groups see 4–9% reduction in food spend within the first 90 days, concentrated on the products where their primary isn't competitive that week.
