Foodservice and IFH Enable Electronic Ordering for Restaurants Using RTIconnect™
RTI expands automation options
to QSR restaurants with the addition of U.S. Foodservice and IFH as new RTI
Supply Chain Partners.
ATLANTA — Two more major foodservice distributors have joined with
Restaurant Technology, Inc. (RTI), a leading provider of Web-based restaurant
back office systems, to provide electronic ordering to restaurants using
RTIconnect software.
U.S. Foodservice and IFH (Institution Food House, Inc.) have been added as new RTI Supply Chain Partners. Their
participation allows RTIconnect users to download food order guides from and
transmit orders to these distribution centers via the Internet. These vendor interfaces
were added at the request of RTI’s customers who use RTIconnect to control food costs in their restaurants.
To simplify the food ordering process, RTIconnect recommends order
quantities to the restaurant manager based on forecasted sales, inventory on-hand,
inventory in transit, and optional safety factors. The manager can adjust the
order if needed, and then send it directly to the distributor through
RTIconnect. By accepting order guides directly from the distributors, RTIconnect
keeps up with items that have been added, discontinued, repackaged, or have
price changes.
“Using
electronic order guides enables restaurant managers to avoid a lot of the
effort required to maintain a current inventory item list. In addition to
keeping the pricing and packaging units up to date, RTIconnect’s order guide
interface ensures that the restaurant’s inventory item numbers are in sync with
the numbers assigned by the vendors,” said
