TouchBistro Launches New Management Tools for Restaurants
TouchBistro has rolled out Inventory Management and Labor Management software built specifically for restaurants. The release expands its back-of-house toolkit and follows the integration of the Peachworks restaurant management platform. Together, these updates show TouchBistro’s focus on helping restaurants handle the day-to-day realities of a changing industry without adding extra complexity.
Sharper Back-of-House Operations, Fewer Headaches
These new tools deepen TouchBistro’s back-of-house (BOH) suite so operators can boost margins, tighten workflows, and keep guest experiences consistent. The goal is simple: turn real data into practical decisions—so you spend less time chasing spreadsheets and more time running the floor.
What Leadership Is Saying
Samir Zabaneh, TouchBistro’s Chairman and CEO, noted that bringing Peachworks into the fold allows the company to offer a more unified tech stack. He underscored that the work starts with operator pain points—then builds toward sustainable growth and operational efficiency with solutions that fit how restaurants actually run.
How the New Software Fits Together
Inventory Management and Labor Management connect directly with the TouchBistro POS, creating a single flow of real-time data and analytics. That visibility helps operators move quickly: adjust staffing in a rush, fine-tune prep before service, cut waste, and rein in both labor and inventory costs without guesswork.
Inventory Management at a Glance
TouchBistro’s Inventory Management provides one place to manage counts, recipes, and costs. With POS sync, it trims manual tasks and helps reduce over-ordering and out-of-stocks. TouchBistro’s latest report indicates many operators see inventory management as central to their financial planning—because small changes at prep can add up on the P&L.
Dialing In Inventory, From Prep to Plate
Inventory challenges can squeeze already thin margins. TouchBistro’s new tools surface the true cost of what’s on the shelf and where you can tighten recipes, prep, and purchasing. That clarity turns routine tasks into steady savings over time.
Key features include:
- Automating inventory so teams can move beyond manual counts and clunky spreadsheets.
- Recipe costing that shows the impact of each ingredient, helping you refine dishes for profit without sacrificing quality.
- Predictive prep guidance so you keep par levels right-sized—enough to meet demand, not so much that food spoils.
Labor Management, Simplified
The Labor Management software streamlines scheduling and communication. When you’re juggling shifts, time-off requests, and last-minute changes—sometimes across multiple locations—centralizing everything in one place helps keep the week on track and the team aligned.
What’s New in Labor Management
The Labor Management solution delivers benefits that reduce friction and improve control:
- One system to manage availability, shift edits, approvals, and updates—so schedules stay accurate and in sync.
- Clear team communication with real-time updates through in-app messaging and SMS notifications, reducing missed shifts and back-and-forth.
- Better labor cost control by forecasting staffing needs against trends, seasonality, and expected traffic.
As Zabaneh points out, a centralized digital platform gives operators the transparency and control they need to manage day-to-day operations with more confidence—and fewer surprises.
