Restaurants are busy places where people bring family, friends, and colleagues together for meals, cocktails and good times; and when the services at a restaurant are on point, it brings the patrons coming back for more. As a result, from waiters to the management, every single employee of a restaurant plays a crucial role in enhancing the overall guest experience. However, for an outsider, a restaurant industry may appear as simple as preparing dishes and serving it to the customers, but once you start digging in, the process appears to take complex twists. Be it a seven-star fine dining restaurant or a small scale food outlet, running a business successfully demands efficient order management, daily transaction management, food cost analysis, staff management, and keeping an eye on generating customer loyalty while maintaining the profits within the business. Clearly, it does not come as a surprise when we see restaurant managers and supervisors always on the run to maintain the business.
Propelled by an increasing economy, today, the restaurant industry is one of the most popular industries registering an increased growth year on year. National Restaurant Association of India (NRAI) states that the Indian food services market is expected to grow to 4,98,130 crores by 2021.The same figure stood at INR 3,09,110 crores in 2013.

A web based portal, CozyERP is a comprehensive solution deemed fit former chants having singe outlet or multiple outlets to manage their operations from cloud portal for increased efficiency. For a merchant to decide on POS software there are two important decision-making points first, the ability to manage remotely through web or mobile; and second, to have very efficient and feature rich application for faster operations at the outlet. Most of the owners lean towards web based POS software for the first reason but they fail to satisfy the second reason, and due to limitations of performance and features the web based solution fails to satisfy the second point.
