Nobody refreshes anything, nobody shouts across the pass. ⚖️ ### Your books post themselves Every sale, refund, purchase, payslip and expense writes its own balanced double-entry journal. Your trial balance is correct at 2 a.m. on a Friday. 📴 ### Keeps working when the internet stops The POS, kitchen and waiter apps keep taking orders offline and sync everything automatically the moment the line is back. A dead router never closes your restaurant. ## Questions people ask about this #### Does it really do full accounting, or just sales reports? Full double-entry accounting: chart of accounts, journals posted automatically from sales, refunds, purchases, payroll and expenses, plus trial balance, balance sheet, P&L, payables, receivables, cost centers, fiscal-period closing, fixed assets and depreciation. #### How long does setup take? Most restaurants are taking real orders the same day. The onboarding wizard walks you through menu, modifiers, recipes, tax rules, branches and user invites step by step. #### Who owns my data, and can I export it? Your data is yours. Every report exports to PDF and Excel, and you can request full data deletion at any time. Each restaurant is fully isolated from every other one on the platform. ## Also searched as - restaurant inventory software - stock control for restaurants - food inventory management - purchase order software - stocktake app - kitchen stock system ## Read more on this ![Restaurant storeroom shelves with boxes and a stock count on a tablet](https://gosufra.com/blog/restaurant-inventory-software.svg) Inventory 2026-09-30 · 9 min read ### [Restaurant inventory management software: 9 things it must do before you pay for it](https://gosufra.com/en/blog/restaurant-inventory-software/) Proper restaurant inventory software is not a spreadsheet of quantities: it deducts ingredients from recipes with every sale, runs approved purchase orders, receives goods as accepted and rejected, tracks expiry, and exposes the gap between theoretical and actual usage.
