President Restaurants Used the software for: 2+ years ### "R365 is what every chain should use" December 20, 2018 5.0 Pros It is a powerful accounting toolsuite that is geared just for the restaurant industry. It is module based and you can add on what you need including features like labor and scheduling and franchisor related products. Cons Had to pay for an extra reporting tool, Renovo, to get all the reports we needed. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Event Planner Events Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Nice program for bigger restaurants or has multiple locations" October 15, 2024 4.0 I had worked for a small restaurant briefly as an event planner, and helped out in other areas - such as Restaurant365 because of my computer knowledge. Pros Everything needed in one stop. It is nice to not to have separate software packages. Cons The price - The yearly rate is a bit much for a small restaurant. Review Source CH Cailin H. Financial Analyst Restaurants Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Not Quite There Yet" March 29, 2019 2.0 Our overall experience with Restaurant365 has been less than stellar. Adoption and setup took a long time. Support issues are not handled quickly, and there has only been one instance where a support person agreed to speak with me over the phone - they almost always limit communication to emails, which can take longer and is hard to fully explain the problem. I also feel that the system is very inconsistent. We have experienced issues with the entire site being down during our accounting close week, which is very frustrating considering all of our financial reporting and data is housed in this system. I think this software \*could\* be great but it needs a lot of work and testing to get there. Pros I like that 365 gives us the ability to share real-time financial information with the site level teams. They can run an Income Statement for the current period at any time without having to wait for our team at corporate to publish financials. Cons There are too many features that aren't available yet or don't quite work as expected. When I use this software I feel like I'm using an unfinished product. For example, the workflow approval for invoices has taken a very long time to release and it still does not always work correctly. Also, we've had issues with units of measure not converting correctly on reports, which was a back-end issue and took weeks for developers to fix. Lastly, we've had many issues with Stock Counts including odd, unexplainable pricing changes and counts that seemed to disappear after a 365 support person "looked into" our issue. Review Source BN Bruce N. CFO Food & Beverages Used the software for: 2+ years ### " CFO review of Restaurant 365" April 11, 2019 5.0 One of the best aspects of Restaurant 365 is that the accounting tool allows for custom periods so that P & L statements can be easily compared to budgeted projections. This feature allows our managers to adjust to line item expenses on a daily and weekly basis. Although no new software integration comes without some pain, Restaurant 365 is now permanently ingrained in our culture. Pros The accounting and GL is stronger than any other combined analytic and accounting software I have reviewed. The budgeting tool is excellent. I greatly enjoy the ease at which data can be exported to Excel and reimported back into Restaurant 365. Overall, Restaurant 365 has help me train my operation managers to become business managers! Cons Does not handle credit card tips paid out in server and bartender paychecks. Review Source CG Charles G. Operations Manager Food & Beverages Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Unbeatable Inventory Management " August 2, 2020 5.0 There are countless benefits to using Compeat. It is excellent for large operations with high volume sales. Pros Once set up for your location is complete it makes managing inventory and ordering from vendors incredibly simple. You will be able to locate problem areas quickly. Cons Set up is extremely time consuming and you will definitely pay for the benefits it provides. Alternatives considered [Restroworks](https://www.capterra.com/p/142877/Restroworks/) Review Source RP Richard P. President Wine and Spirits Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Really a product still being tested" April 23, 2019 2.0 Nice people that try to cover the problems with promises rather than solutions. Pros If you only listen to what they are selling you, then this is a solid product. On boarding was outstanding and setup was handled well. Nice that it is cloud based. Dashboard took a long time to reflect the correct information. Now it no longer works and we have been told for a month that additional resources are being added to solve the problem. If they could do everything the sales people claim the program will do then it would be a solid solution. Unfortunately, sales and functionality are not in sync. Cons Misrepresentations. There were a bunch of features discussed before our decision to transfer our systems from Compeat but have spending multiple hours trying to figure out why many inventory features like PAR's do not work we were finally told that the feature was still being developed. Here are the types of answers from support we are getting after a year "There were some issues discovered that forced us to roll it back with the intention of re releasing it shortly after. It has been deprioritzed since then however I am expecting it to be re released this qtr. I will follow up with our product team to get a more concrete expectation for you. " Or "They are working to correct in a more targeted fashion with additional resources now involved in the project. Regardless, I escalated your inquiry just to make sure all parties are aware of what you are experiencing." No solutions Review Source MZ Michael Z. VP OF FINANCE Restaurants Used the software for: 2+ years ### "OUTSTANDING SYSTEM" March 29, 2019 5.0 Fantastic. Strongly recommend. Pros Master Chart of Accounts, Vendors, and Customers. Easy to navigate for inexperienced users. Vendor AP FTP/EDI integration. POS integration. PR Adjustments. Bank integration. Ability to filter and search across all modules. Intercompany transaction automatic entries, cloud based. Constantly evolving. Cons Purchased item setup for EDI integrations Review Source LC Louis C. Director of Operations Restaurants Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Why to Convert to R365!" April 15, 2019 5.0 Great way to have the team all add their own invoices per location - Great tool with so many benefits for our company. Pros Super user friendly! All the Managers in the company are extremely happy to use! Cons Need a better APP for phone! :) Need to have more user friendly app that looks more modern in my opinion! Review Source BB Brian B. Finance Manager Restaurants Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great all in one accounting/operations platform" March 29, 2019 4.0 Pros The system is very user friendly. It has the ability to eliminate a lot of other "bolt on" software products. The reporting is detailed and accurate, and the feature to have people set up as different roles is crucial. Cons There have been a lot of bugs and software/development errors that have impacted us. Customer services is in a different time zone, and is not the fastest to respond or have any sense of urgency. Review Source TK Toby K. Catering coordinator Food Production Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Ok for sales reports" May 29, 2019 3.0 Pros It makes searching by report type more efficienct Cons Setting up employee permissions is tedious Review Source KT Kathi T. Cfo Restaurants Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Cfo" December 31, 2022 5.0 Switching to R365 has been the best back office operational decision we have made in 30 years Pros Integration of all companies on one platform and ease of financial transaction interaction between them AND fairly seem less integration with POS /Toast data Cons I don’t like the submit requests for improvements. This is burdensome and seems to go into a black hole or you have to become a promoter of your idea Reason for choosing Restaurant365 It is designed for restaurants and integrates multiple units and concepts easily Review Source MN Michael N. Finance Manager Restaurants Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Review from a Finance Manager" April 1, 2019 4.0 Our overall experience with the software has been great. It integrates nicely with our other systems, like our POS and invoicing system. We as a company may not be fully utilizing the software and trying to retroactively getting different sections up to date takes a long time, if you have multiple concepts. The system runs slow at times but it is nice to be able to see and analyze all of our financials under one login unlike quickbooks in which you have to switch back and forth between logins to see your different locations. Pros I like that it easily integrates with Toast and Aloha POS. It is also very good at breaking down the different financial statements like the profit and loss and balance sheet. If you have multiple locations, it is nice to see everything in a single login and that you don't have to switch back and forth between locations. Cons If you don't have a little financial background it may be a little hard to navigate the software. The software is nice and comprehensive but if you come in as a user after everything has already been set up, it is a little hard to understand. I would like the training materials to be a little easier to understand or at least have videos. Sometimes the software can run slow which can be inconvenient if you are trying to do things in a quick manner. Review Source KL Kerri L. Vice President Hospitality Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Product has become wildly unreliable" August 30, 2019 3.0 Stay away from R365 in the short term!! Hopefully, they will utilize the millions in private equity funding they've received in the last year to drastically improve development. The ineptitude of the current development team is appalling. If I was an owner in R365, I would be embarrassed by what has taken place with this company. Pros General ease of use, cross functionality between accounting, restaurant opps, inventory + recipe costing. Cons The product is unreliable. We keep experiencing the same bugs, only to have them return after a system update. Support has become increasingly detached and slow to respond. Another serious deficiency is a lack of an audit trail function to track changes within the system or accounting transactions. Review Source GF Gary F. Corporate chef Hospitality Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Better then most" December 15, 2021 5.0 I preferred this software over most everything I used In past Pros Once set up, the ease of use and consistency Cons The set up was a bit rough, but once it is done it is Turkey easy Review Source gD grace D. FOH supervisor Food & Beverages Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "No problems " June 26, 2019 5.0 I really enjoy Using compeat and feel like it makes my life at work a lot easier! During my manager training The consulting company that we used, explained that a lot of restaurants don’t even use any program like this. So I am very grateful we have it!!! Pros As a first time restaurant manager, the ease of using compeat is great. Whether it is Doing the scheduling or an inventory issue, I am going to get it all done from and find all my info there. I like having a one stop shop to do all of my work. . Doing the ordering is very easy as well because all of our vendors are uploaded into compeat. Cons The only thing I would say I don’t like Is that it such a big program there is so much information, it’s hard to know all of it. I feel like daily I learn something new about compeat which is great but I wish I had like a crash course on it when I started working with the program. Review Source SH Syed H. Accountant Restaurants Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "R365 Review" June 27, 2019 5.0 Its a very useful product, it helps us as an organization to be able to keep a lot of our transactions in one place. We keep a close watch on our COGS and other important metrics to adjust and improve things. Pros As an accountant I really love the fact that I can dive into all the details of a transaction and have the ability to upload documents as a backup to all transactions. Cons System updates. Whenever there are system updates being pushed out, the software takes a good week to get itself back to full functionality. And in the process a few other things fall out of place. Review Source CM Cary M. Corporate Executove Chef Food & Beverages Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Comprehensive...." August 20, 2019 4.0 Pros I like that it's a 'one-stop shopping' for my organization. We are able to consolidate old systems into a substantially more focused, contained suite. Cons going 'live' with features that were not adequately constructed for our needs. I fell this is somewhat reasonable to expect as early adopters. We learned a lot, as I'm sure r365 did. Review Source KS Kelcie S. Social Media Manager Restaurants Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Compeat" December 21, 2018 3.0 Pros Easy to use at the restaurant level. Our people really enjoy it and are onboard quickly. Cons At an organizational level, this was really difficult. Does not support large organizations super well. Difficult to support multiple entities at once. Review Source DH Diane H. Owner Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I use Media Radar on a daily basis to find key marketing and agency contacts for my biz" July 19, 2018 5.0 Pros Up to date information on companies and agencies; plus they send me alerts on new employees. Media Radar team is on point and always helpful. The software is easy to use and companies are easy to research. Cons Doesn't give B2B info for many companies; also doesn't give Diversity or Human Resource contacts which is necessary for my business Review Source KH Kevin H. Owner Hospitality Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Owner " July 18, 2019 5.0 Accounting product is great sometimes features are released without being “fully baked” Pros The accounting product was comprehensive Cons Managers log & Scheduling are inferior products. Much better products on the market Reason for choosing Restaurant365 Custom restaurant features Review Source LM Lydia M. director of finance Restaurants Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Trending in the Right Direction" April 9, 2019 4.0 Pros Tech forward, upload features are good, very easy to set up new legal entities and locations. Reporting is good and getting better. Bank reconciliation feature is great when working correctly. Great software for multi-unit companies. Cons Software can be glitchy at times but issues tend to get fixed quickly. Review Source GA George A. pres Restaurants Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "This is great software that you can access from anywhere, computer, phone, etc. It has a lot of feat" April 4, 2018 5.0 cost controls Pros The different reports and information that you have access to from any device is awesome. Also that you can see how the numbers compare to different time periods Cons The cost is a bit high, and every few weeks you have to change the passwords is annoying. Otherwise grear software. Review Source CS Callie S. EM Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Restaurant365 catering experience needs a few improvements, but overall good." April 9, 2018 4.0 Pros I like that we can assign the jobs within each account. I like that it is simple and flows very well. There are many functions that we have not utilized yet but plan to, the walk throughs from support have been really great, straightforward, and not difficult to follow. Inputting recipes can take quite a bit of time but worth it in the end. Cons We work in a team, so it would be so helpful if they would implement a way to email from the software, letting everyone on the team see emails back and forth to keep up to date. The only thing hindering us from implementing the catering portion amount is the client cannot pay through the software. Review Source EF Eliza F. Empresaria Food & Beverages Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Restaurant365" July 27, 2021 5.0 Pros I feel safe buying through the app. Forever. Cons I miss offers like free shipping, and more candy options. The delay in delivery is sometimes very long. Review Source NC Nikki C. server Restaurants Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "All-in-One Restaurant Management Platform" April 27, 2026 5.0 My overall experience with Restaurant365 has been positive, especially for managing restaurant operations in one system. It combines accounting, inventory, scheduling, and reporting, which improves visibility and reduces manual work. Once fully set up, it becomes a powerful tool for tracking costs and performance across locations. However, it does have a learning curve and can feel complex during onboarding, so it takes time to get comfortable with all its features. Pros What I like most about Restaurant365 is that it’s an all-in-one system built specifically for restaurants, bringing together accounting, inventory, scheduling, and reporting in one place, which makes it much easier to manage costs and get real-time visibility into operations. Cons What I liked least about Restaurant365 is that it can feel expensive and complex to set up, and some users report a steep learning curve along with reporting and onboarding challenges that take time to fully resolve. Alternatives considered [CrunchTime](https://www.capterra.com/p/2294/CrunchTime-Back-Office/)[MarginEdge](https://www.capterra.com/p/187718/MarginEdge/)[Toast POS](https://www.capterra.com/p/136301/Toast-POS/) Reason for choosing Restaurant365 I chose Restaurant365 over alternatives like Toast integrations, MarginEdge, and 7Shifts because it provides a true all-in-one system (accounting, inventory, scheduling, and reporting) instead of requiring multiple tools. It also gives better real-time visibility, multi-location control, and financial management in one platform, which helps streamline operations and reduce software overlap.
