The business challenge

Like many growing restaurant chains, the business added outlets faster than its back-office processes could keep up.

What Zoho delivered

Zoho connected every outlet's kitchen, purchasing, and books on one integrated platform-from vendor order to plate to invoice.

Zoho Inventory

Gave every outlet ingredient-level stock tracking with reorder points, so kitchens stopped running out mid-service or over-ordering perishables.

  • Multi-outlet warehouse and stock tracking
  • Ingredient-level SKUs with reorder points
  • Wastage and spoilage logging
  • Stock transfers between outlets and central kitchen

Zoho Books

Connected vendor bills and purchase orders directly to stock receipts-giving finance a single, GST-ready view across all outlets.

  • GST-ready vendor billing and purchase-to-pay
  • Multi-branch financial consolidation
  • Bank reconciliation and expense tracking
  • Recipe and outlet-wise cost reporting

Zoho CRM

Centralized catering and bulk-order enquiries alongside customer feedback, so repeat and corporate orders no longer relied on individual outlet managers' memory.

  • Catering and bulk-order enquiry pipeline
  • Customer feedback and complaint tracking
  • Loyalty and repeat-order follow-up
  • WhatsApp and email communication from the record

Zoho Analytics

Gave leadership live dashboards on food cost, wastage trends, and best-selling dishes across every outlet.

  • Cross-outlet sales and food-cost dashboards
  • Wastage and shrinkage trend reporting
  • Best-seller and menu performance analysis
  • Outlet-to-outlet performance comparison

Results achieved with Zoho

Purchasing & inventory

Zoho Inventory gave every outlet real-time ingredient visibility-cutting emergency reorders and reducing spoilage-driven waste.

Finance

Zoho Books eliminated duplicate data entry between outlets and accounts, tightening food-cost control and speeding up month-end close.

Customer & loyalty

Zoho CRM turned catering and bulk-order enquiries into a trackable pipeline instead of information lost between outlet managers.

Leadership visibility

Zoho Analytics gave ownership a single view of food cost, wastage, and top-performing dishes across the whole chain.

"Before Zoho, every outlet ran its own way-stock on paper, orders on WhatsApp, and finance finding out about problems weeks later. Now every branch feeds the same system, and we can see food cost and wastage the same day it happens."
