InterCloud

Restaurant & E-Commerce

Accurate cost, stock and demand figures
for restaurants, caterers and food producers

Food and catering businesses operate on narrow margins, perishable stock and customers who order through an increasing number of channels. InterCloud connects the kitchen, the warehouse, the storefront and the back office so that management works from accurate figures for cost, stock and demand.

Challenges

Challenges in Food and Catering

  • Perishable inventory and recipe costing

    Ingredient prices change weekly, stock expires and recipes vary by branch. Without current recipe costing and lot-level inventory, margins become known at month end and cannot be managed day by day.

  • Orders from every channel

    Dine-in, the company website and app, delivery platforms, corporate catering and wholesale orders arrive in different formats and at different times. Menus, prices and stock must remain consistent across all of them.

  • Food safety and traceability

    GMP and HACCP practices, food-safety regulations for producers and customer expectations all require lot traceability from supplier to plate, with records that can be produced promptly when a question arises.

  • Many sites, one brand

    Branches, central kitchens and franchisees need shared menus, purchasing and standards, together with local control over staffing, stock and promotions.

How We Help

Know Cost, Stock and Demand in Every Branch

Our Approach

Cost Control From Recipe to Sale

We begin with recipes, purchasing and stock, where most of the cost sits. GlowScale links supplier invoices to lots, lots to recipes and recipes to sales, so that the margin on each menu item reflects the prices paid in the current week.

Orders from your own channels and from delivery platforms enter the same system, which keeps stock, menus and prices aligned and gives finance one set of books across branches and channels.

Traceability follows from running the business in one system. When a supplier recalls a lot, the records show every branch and every dish that the lot reached.

  • Recipe and bill-of-materials costing with current ingredient prices
  • Lot-level inventory with expiry and recall tracing
  • Central purchasing with branch-level requisitions and approvals
  • Online ordering and e-commerce integrated with stock and finance

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you integrate with delivery platforms and point-of-sale systems?

Yes. GlowScale and Orbio expose open REST APIs, and we build the connectors to the POS, payment and delivery-platform APIs you use, so orders and stock movements are recorded in one system.

Can you support franchise models?

Yes. Role-based access and multi-entity finance let a franchisor set shared menus, purchasing and standards while each franchisee manages its own stock, staff and local promotions.
