Abstract: Nowadays, more and more catering enterprises have introduced catering management system, which can not only save the cost of human resources, but also solve the pain points of restaurant management more efficiently and achieve the result of improving efficiency. For a catering enterprise, choosing a suitable catering management system will improve the market competitiveness to a certain extent. So how much is the catering management system software? What's the price of the catering management system software? Let's take a look. First, how much is the food and beverage management system software

First of all, we should know that the price of the food and beverage system is not fixed, and the price of different food and beverage software is different. What is more critical is the specific demand, and the reasonable purchase of the food and beverage management system can play the greatest role. At present, the price of the ubiquitous ordering software mainly ranges from several hundred yuan to several thousand yuan, and the price fluctuation generally lies in the customization of merchants. Some merchants focus on the food and beverage management system developed in a targeted way, and the price is also based on the service merchants.

second, what is the price of the catering management system software

the price of the catering software depends on what your needs are. Some lightweight catering management systems only need less upfront expenses, while more powerful tools may require more expenses when you start operating. Additional hardware, such as tablets or cash registers, will also increase the cost. When looking at the price options, you need to keep in mind several factors: the license type, the price of the catering POS system, and the possible additional costs.

1. License type of catering software

The price of catering management system depends on the license type first:

(1) Permanent license: This means that you need to pay a large fee in advance to use this software indefinitely. Although the initial cost is high, it greatly reduces the recurrent expenditure.

(2) Subscription license: You can pay less monthly or annual fees when using the software. The initial cost is lower, but the recurrent expenditure is increased.

it should be noted that the prices of these two licenses are similar if they are used for a long time.

2. Price of POS system

In addition to the types of licenses, you should also know the price difference between the locally installed catering POS system and the catering POS system based on cloud computing. Locally installed catering POS software usually charges a one-time license fee, while cloud computing-based systems usually do not charge a license fee, but generally charge a monthly service fee. Another cost to be considered is the monthly service fee, which needs to be paid for locally installed systems and cloud computing-based systems.

3. Additional expenses of catering management system

You also need to consider all additional expenses related to the operation and maintenance of catering management software. Sometimes, the software you choose may lack some functions that you ultimately want to use. In this case, you can consider adding additional third-party integration, such as:

(1) marketing tools. Some catering management systems have built-in marketing tools, such as loyalty programs, but you may decide to use a third-party integration that provides more tools and is more convenient. This will increase your expenses.

(2) inventory management. Not all catering software has built-in inventory management functions. This may require third-party integration, or it may increase your overall cost. This is why you should use a management system that is easy to integrate with other tools.

(3) setup and training expenses. When choosing what type of management system to use, first take a closer look at your own restaurant. How big is the scale? Is it just starting, or is it mature? How long is the free time every day? For smaller places, buying comprehensive software may be a considerable investment, because you need to pay installation fees, setup fees and training fees. If you are just getting started, I suggest you buy an upgradeable system that can be customized according to the growing demand of restaurants, instead of buying a comprehensive system from the beginning. In this way, if you don't expand your business completely according to the plan, your restaurant will not be affected by the cost.

when studying the price of catering management system, it is very important to reflect. If you simply pursue the most comprehensive system, you may run the risk that you can't make up for your expenses with profits. Take a look at what your restaurant really needs and adjust your choices accordingly.
