Operational intelligence for restaurant chains

Controliza generates an automatic food cost benchmark by location, broken down by product family and ingredient. You see deviations in real time against the group standard and can act before month-end close. If a location deviates 3% on meats, you detect it in hours, not weeks.

With Prediction anticipating demand by dish and day, and Purchasing generating automatic suggested orders based on that forecast plus each location's real stock. The result: fewer stockouts, fewer off-contract purchases and fewer last-minute calls to non-approved suppliers.

The new location automatically inherits the product catalogue, approved suppliers, recipe costing and purchasing rules from the group. Prediction starts with a model based on similar locations in your chain and adjusts with its own data within a few weeks. You don't start from zero.

Yes. Controliza lets you define suppliers at group level and exceptions at location level. You can centralize the product families with the biggest food cost impact (meats, dairy, oils) and keep local suppliers for fresh or regional products. The system respects both logics.

The typical process is: diagnosis and configuration (1-2 weeks), pilot at 2-3 representative locations (4-6 weeks) and progressive rollout to the rest of the chain (8-12 weeks). In total, a chain of 20-30 locations is operational in 3-4 months. Larger chains follow the same process with phased rollouts.

With the Kitchen module, each location receives a production plan by shift based on real demand forecasting: defrostings, mise en place and picking lists. The cook knows what to prepare and how much, without relying on individual experience. Staff turnover stops being a problem because the process is guided.

Yes. The Buffet module measures consumption, replenishment and waste in real time using computer vision and weighing. You know which dishes are consumed the most, when to replenish and how much is wasted per service. Ideal for restaurant concepts with breakfast, brunch or self-service.

With the Inventory app, the manager does guided counts from their phone: scan or select product, enter quantity and the system compares with theoretical stock in real time. If there are 30 kg of chicken in the system but the count says 22, you know today, not at month-end close. Digital FIFO and expiry alerts reduce avoidable waste.

The CAPEX module lets you request equipment from the app with an approval workflow configurable by amount and category. Each asset has a digital record with location, warranty and scheduled maintenance. Reception is verified with photos to document any issues.

With the OCR module, your manager takes a photo of the delivery note and in 10 seconds the system extracts supplier, products, quantities, prices and batches. If the price doesn't match what was agreed or goods are missing, alerts trigger before approving reception. Received goods update inventory automatically.
