All-in-one point-of-sale (POS) and restaurant management system TouchBistro has expanded its portfolio with the launch of new inventory management and labour management software solutions.  

The new tools are designed to help restaurant operators streamline their back-of-house operations, improve profitability and enhance guest experience.  

The integration with TouchBistro's POS system ensures that data flows into a centralised system, allowing for real-time, data-backed decision-making. 

The inventory management software offers a platform for inventory and recipe management.  

The software integrates with TouchBistro POS, enabling operators to manage their inventory efficiently, reduce food costs and save time.  

In its 2024 State of Restaurants report, TouchBistro highlighted that inventory costs are a significant financial burden for more than half of operators, with food expenditures rising 41% in 2023/24. 

The new software aims to provide operators with better cost insights and optimisation opportunities. 

It also includes recipe costing tools and food prep forecasting to ensure optimal inventory levels and profitability. 

The Labour Management software complements the inventory solution by offering a comprehensive staff management and scheduling system.  

It integrates with the TouchBistro POS, simplifying scheduling, enhancing team communication and helping to control labour costs.  

Operators can manage scheduling from one centralised system, reducing the potential for miscommunication and missed shifts.  

The system also provides real-time updates through in-app messages, emails and SMS notifications. 

TouchBistro chairman and CEO Samir Zabaneh stated: “TouchBistro’s acquisition of Peachworks allows us to better serve operators through one comprehensive tech stack. 

“We deeply understand the pain points of operators in today’s restaurant industry, and our new Labour Management and Inventory Management products are a major step forward in making data-backed decisions that help them keep costs down and run a sustainable business.” 

The latest launch builds on the acquisition of Peachworks which allowed TouchBistro to enhance its commitment to the restaurant industry by continuously addressing the sector's evolving needs.  

Zabaneh added: “We are proud to continue enhancing our all-in-one restaurant management system that puts our customer needs first, ensuring they have the technology required to run a profitable business.

"Our goal is to do the heavy lifting so restaurateurs can spend more time doing what they love.”
