Not only do you run the risk of running out of stock on a regular basis, but you also run the risk of considerable food loss and waste. In addition, these conditions make the assessment of stock value extremely laborious.

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 has a range of functions including table, customer, order, reservation and stock 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 delivery, after receiving an order, a dish will 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.), and then add the list of dishes and drinks of which your menus consist. 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 (inputs, 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.
With multi-site management, you can control multiple storage sites in one interface, which is particularly useful if you run a restaurant chain.
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.
