The new cutting-edge software solution introduces a more efficient
way to manage a restaurant kitchen by bringing inventory control,
purchasing, receiving, and more to one place.
ROSEMONT, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Today, US Foods and Avero introduced a revolutionary new product that
makes the challenging job of running a restaurant kitchen easier – Avero
Food Cost Management (FCM). Avero FCM easily integrates with a
restaurant’s point of sale system to give a seamless, digital look into
food cost data and real-time inventory information. It also provides
predictive sales forecasts and purchase quantity suggestions that tell
restaurant operators exactly what they need to order, and when they need
to order it.
“No restaurateur gets into this business because they love managing
inventory and food costs, but this is essential and important work and
through our partnership with Avero we are making this work easier,” said
Jim Osborne, Senior Vice President, E-Commerce and Business Solutions,
US Foods. “We know how difficult running a restaurant can be and that’s
why we’ve made bringing leading technology solutions to our customers a
priority.”
The US Foods and Avero partnership means that US Foods customers’
product lists and purchase trends are automatically loaded into Avero
FCM based on historical purchases and invoices. All new US Foods orders
can be placed quickly through Avero FCM, and customers’ inventory is
automatically updated with the new purchases once they are received,
saving operators hours each week. Additionally, the new product
streamlines inventory counting and waste tracking – two areas where
operators say they need help.
“At Avero we pride ourselves on understanding what restaurateurs want
before they even know they want it, and we’ve taken that to the next
level with our new Food Cost Management solution,” said Damian Mogavero,
CEO and Founder of Avero. “Avero FCM adds tremendous value to the Avero
product set, and our integration with US Foods gives restaurant
operators across the country the ability to revolutionize their
purchasing and inventory, helping them get back to doing what they love.”
Avero Food Cost Management is an affordable solution that can benefit
all US Foods customers. Customers who already have or sign up for the
Avero Gold package get FCM for free. To learn more visit www.usfoods.com/avero.
