Restaurant technology solutions provider PAR Technology has partnered NomadGo, a spatial AI inventory solutions provider, to bring AI-driven inventory management to the foodservice industry.
NomadGo's AI inventory data will be integrated with PAR's Data Central back office platform to transform the way restaurants handle their significant operational costs, food and labour.
By adopting this technology, restaurant operators can shift from doing manual inventory to a quick scan using a smartphone or tablet.
The change is expected to save up to 15 hours per month, allowing staff to concentrate on enhancing customer service. The benefits include reduced errors, streamlined operations and cost savings for restaurant operators.
Amirian Management Company, a franchisee of a national hospitality chain, will be the first to implement the advanced solution.
NomadGo CEO David Greschler said: “Our goal is to make inventory management faster, more accurate, and easier for restaurants – and fun for employees.
“By integrating with PAR’s platform, we’ve taken the extra steps out of the process, so operators can manage their inventory seamlessly within the tools they already use.”
As stock levels are instantly updated in the back-office system, operators gain immediate insights that support smarter purchasing decisions and reduce supply chain inefficiencies, leading to improved financial results.
PAR Technology operator and cloud general manager Oliver Ostertag said: “Accurate and timely inventory data is a game-changer for restaurant operators.
“By integrating with NomadGo, PAR Data Central isn’t just the first to bring this solution to market — we’re delivering the most advanced, efficient inventory management available. Our customers get the real-time insights they need to cut waste, maximise profits and streamline operations like never before.”
The process involves staff scanning inventory across various locations using mobile devices. NomadGo's technology then provides near-instant counts with 99% accuracy, altering the inventory management landscape in restaurants.
Amirian CIO Russell Jones said: "Using NomadGo is going to make our managers' job easier by giving them a tool to count inventory much faster and more accurately. This will allow them to focus on the important operations of the restaurant to impact food cost and customer experience.”
