MCA Catering
Multi-functional cash register software
MCA Catering is a complete restaurant management software. It adapts to the needs and standards of all types of establishments offering catering services: traditional or self-service restaurant, bar, café, cafeteria, gourmet restaurant, tea room or hostel…
This SaaS software package offers a wide range of functions, including table, customer, order, reservation and inventory management.
The starters, dishes, drinks and other items that make up your menus are listed in the software database. The same applies to the tables in your restaurant. It’s then easy to select the chosen dishes and associate them with a table, so that orders can be tracked in the kitchen and cashed.
Similarly, for home deliveries, once an order has been received, a dish can be easily associated with a customer and a delivery person.
All the tedious work is automated by a mobile cash register directly connected to the accounting module.
Inventory and stock visibility allows you to efficiently plan orders for new food and equipment based on consumption history and forecasts.
While the cash register is the backbone of the system, the SaaS management software also offers HR functionality. You can organise staff schedules, manage working hours and holidays as well as salaries.

Cash register management i
MCA Catering offers an overview of your restaurant for your commercial management. The cash register, equipped with a touch screen and a thermal printer, simplifies the monitoring of service and receipts.
You set up the tables or customers and menus in the cash register software. Your servers select the relevant table and enter the orders via a smartphone or tablet connected to the software. Orders entered are sent to the kitchen at the click of a button, and the bill and receipt are generated automatically.
The checkout system is also suitable for take-away or home delivery.
Food and beverage management
Within the software, you first define different categories (starter, main course, mineral, wine, menu, etc.), then add the list of dishes and beverages that make up your menus. Each article has a product sheet to which the selling price, purchase price, supplier, ingredients, allergens, etc. can be linked.
The dishes offered can be changed in a few clicks according to the week or your seasonal menus.
Accounting
The accounting aspect of the software reduces the number of manual accounting manipulations. The software automatically retrieves the cash data from the accounts.
VAT management is included. You can set the different VAT rates according to the type of products sold and the standards in force. You can also generate a compliant VAT statement in just a few clicks.
Automated processes help you enter entries and make calculations, for complete management of your accounting operations (entries, outputs, expenses, etc.).
Report and analysis
The data collected by the management tool can be extracted as a graph or a report.
You generate reports on stocks and waste. You look at your sales: which dishes, drinks or ingredients are most consumed ? Which ingredients are the most expensive ? What is the occupancy rate of your restaurant ?
You will be able to observe the periods of affluence of your catering activity in order to organise your teams accordingly, identify the sources of losses, know the amount of working capital or measure the revenue per available seat hour.
Stock management
The restaurant management software includes complete stock management. It records all stock movements based on purchases, sales or transfers between storage sites, giving you a global view.
Thanks to multi-site management, you can control several storage sites from a single interface, a particularly useful feature if you run a chain of restaurants.
This means you can check stock levels at any time, and plan your food orders accordingly.
Automated processes make your job easier. The software warns you when perishable goods reach the end of their life or when the minimum stock for an item is reached. It can even generate supplier orders for replenishment.
The analytical aspect of the software also helps you to calculate stock differences between what has been purchased and consumed.
You also manage your suppliers in the software, with address book, supplier invoice payment and transaction history.
Planning management
Schedules and calendar are included in the software to help you manage your employees and reservations.
Prepare the schedules of your waiters, sommeliers and cooks according to their availability, constraints and peak hours. Make quick changes if something unexpected happens.
Each employee can access their schedule via the software and receive notifications to remind them of their schedules.
Enter planned bookings in the calendar, adding details such as the customer’s name, number of people and other specifics.
With MCA Catering, you have greater visibility on everyone’s schedules and reservations.
Employee management
MCA Catering includes comprehensive human resources management.
In addition to the schedule, which allows you to plan the tasks and schedules of your staff, you can also manage salaries, absences and holidays.
You set up hours, holidays, holidays or absences according to your rules. You check the actual working hours and overtime per employee in the software.
The leave validation process is easy to learn and the leave balance is updated automatically. Wages are calculated on the basis of hours worked and the employee’s salary base. You generate compliant payslips including overtime, social charges, etc.
MCA Catering includes dematerialized management of employment contracts, CVs, medical certificates and related documents.
