Culinary Analytics platform
Six subscriptions, six logins, none of them talking. Or one.
The average independent restaurant pays for a POS, a website, a food-cost tool, a reservation book, a scheduling app and an accounting system, then exports spreadsheets to make them agree. Culinary Analytics runs all of it in one place, either on your current POS or on ours.
What's in the one subscription
Everything that touches your margin, sharing one set of numbers.
POS, ours or yours
Run on the Culinary Analytics POS, or keep the one you have and connect it at no extra charge. Sales flow in either way.
Website & online ordering
A restaurant website with ecommerce built in, not two more monthly bills.
Recipe costing
Plate costs that update as invoices change, so menu prices stay honest.
Inventory
Counts, usage and variance tied to what you actually sold.
Reservations
Booking and table control that feeds the same sales and labor picture.
Predictive scheduling
Proprietary forecasting that sets staffing to the covers you're likely to do.
Predictive ordering
Order suggestions from the same forecast, so you buy for next week, not last week.
Bookkeeping & operations accounting
A P&L built from live data, with optional done-for-you bookkeeping.

Prices are each vendor's published monthly list price for one location, as reported in November 2026, and leave out per-cover and per-order fees and other paid integrations (Toast, for example, charges extra to connect to QuickBooks Online), which push the separate stack higher. Hardware and card processing are extra on every option, including Culinary Analytics. Your stack and prices may differ. Vendor names are trademarks of their owners and are shown only as common examples of each category; Culinary Analytics is not affiliated with them.
