The Restaurant Operating System

Run the whole restaurant from one connected system.

FORNEBU connects point of sale, kitchen, inventory, customers, workforce, scheduling and business health — one operating system instead of a collection of disconnected tools.

Built in restaurants. Designed for restaurant operators.

One operation

A restaurant is one operation. Its software should be too.

An order doesn't stop at the register. It moves through the kitchen, affects inventory, identifies customers, changes demand, creates labour requirements and becomes part of the business day. FORNEBU keeps those operating surfaces connected.

Product ecosystem

Six operating pillars. One connected system.

Sell, serve, stock, grow, team and control — every part of the restaurant day, working from the same records.

01

Sell

Orders, modifiers, discounts, refunds and receipts in one accountable lifecycle.

02

Serve

The right item reaches the right station, and the customer sees their order as it's built.

03

Stock

Recipes connect every sale to ingredients and packaging, from receiving to the count.

04

Grow

Customer profiles, loyalty, demand intelligence and business health.

05

Team

One employee record from availability to schedule, clock-in, timesheet and payroll approval.

06

Control

Corporate menus, location permissions, Business Day Close, exceptions and scheduled reporting.

Ten connected modules. One set of records.

Product

One order. Connected across the restaurant.

Real FORNEBU screens, following the restaurant day — the order is entered, the kitchen makes it, inventory moves, the customer relationship continues and the owner sees how the business is doing.

FORNEBU Intelligence

Know what's coming. Know what to do next.

FORNEBU uses your restaurant's own sales history — by day and by half-hour — and brings workforce, inventory and operational signals together to show what's coming, what needs attention and the evidence behind it.

Weather, holidays and local events appear alongside the forecast as context, so managers can see what else is happening that day.

Business Health

How is my business doing?

One owner view of sales, labour and costs — what changed, why it changed and what needs your attention. Every figure can be traced back to where it came from.

How you're doing

Net sales, checks, average ticket and labour, for one location or across all of them.

What changed, and why

See the movement, then the reasons behind it.

What needs attention

The few things worth looking at today, not a wall of charts.

Numbers you can trace

Open any figure to see how it was calculated and which records it came from.

As cost and expense information is completed, Business Health adds Food & Packaging %, Prime Cost, Estimated Operating Profit and Break-even sales.

If the information isn't complete, FORNEBU says so. It doesn't guess.

Across locations, Canadian and US dollar totals are kept separate.

Team & Workforce

Staff for the business you’re expecting. Run the team from one record.

Availability, time off, skills, schedules, clock-in, timesheets, tips and payroll approval — connected to the restaurant’s actual demand and the hours actually worked.

The system proposes. The manager decides.

Multi-location · restaurant groups · franchise systems

Central control. Local flexibility.

Build the menu once as a corporate Golden Copy, publish it to the locations authorized to sell it, and let each store run its own day — with permissions, reporting and franchise boundaries built in.

Corporate menu governance

Products, recipes and menus are maintained centrally and published to locations, with a record of every publication.

Per-location assortment

Each store sells only what it's authorized to offer, at its authorized price.

Local operation

Employees, shifts, cash handling, printing and stock stay with the store, even under one head office — and each store closes its own business day.

More than one brand

FORNEBU is designed as a platform layer above the restaurant brand, so a second concept can run alongside the first rather than replacing it. Franchise locations see their own store, never another's.

One order, two restaurant brands, one operating platform.

Managed centrally

  • Brand and product structure
  • Recipes and ingredients
  • Menu and catalogue definitions
  • Which products each location is authorized to sell
  • Operating standards and reporting structure

Operated locally

  • What the store actually sells day to day
  • Local pricing and availability where authorized
  • Store team, schedules and worked hours
  • Cash handling and the store's business day
  • Store-level operational configuration

Scheduled reports, exception logs and location switching give head office one view without stepping into store operations.

Built for multi-location restaurant operators, restaurant groups, franchise systems.

Built inside operating restaurants

Built inside operating restaurants — not around assumptions.

FORNEBU is developed and tested alongside real operations at Rolly Polly Cow and Pizza Tavola — across menus, orders, employees, inventory, scheduling, payments, multi-location management and financial visibility. When something doesn't hold up on a real shift, it changes.

Developed and tested across

  • Menus
  • Orders
  • Employees
  • Inventory
  • Scheduling
  • Payments
  • Multiple locations
  • Financial visibility

At the counter

Fast, touch-first flows that hold up during a rush.

For the manager

Stock, staffing and service visible in one place.

For the owner

Location performance without assembling reports by hand.

Why FORNEBU

Why one system matters.

01

One connected operating system

POS, kitchen, inventory, customers, workforce and reporting share one data model instead of one integration per problem.

02

Built around restaurant workflows

Modifiers, prep stations, recipes, shifts, open food items and multi-location control are first-class, not workarounds.

03

Honest numbers

When information is incomplete, FORNEBU tells you — it never fills the gap with a guess.

04

Designed to scale from one to many

The same platform runs a single room and a growing group of locations and brands.

Coming Soon

Marketplace — Delivery orders in the same flow as the counter — kitchen, inventory and reporting included. In development.
