Restaurant365 + ClearCOGS

Keep the books in Restaurant365. Know what to prep and order tomorrow.

ClearCOGS connects to your Restaurant365 instance through the R365 API, reads the menu item records your team already maintains there, and pairs them with your POS sales history to deliver each location’s prep and order plan every morning. Restaurant365 keeps doing everything it does today.

Your system of record and your plan for tomorrow, built on the same items.

Restaurant365 is where your accounting and inventory live: counts, costs and the P&L. ClearCOGS adds the answer every kitchen needs before doors open: how much of each item does this location need tomorrow, and what should the next order look like? The forecast comes from your own POS sales history plus weather, local events and seasonality, keyed to the item records in your R365 instance. ClearCOGS runs alongside Restaurant365. It does not replace it, and it does not write into your books or your order templates.

What the integration delivers

Customizable Solutions
A prep sheet for every item, every morning

ClearCOGS reads your POS sales history alongside the menu item records in your Restaurant365 instance and sends each location a daily prep sheet: how much of each item to have ready, and where to stop.

Restaurants
Order guidance keyed to the items you already track

Because the connection maps ClearCOGS items to the records in your R365 instance, order guidance is keyed to the same item records your team works from in Restaurant365. You review it and place the order the way you do now.

Seamless Integration
Read-only access, set up by our team

Access runs through the R365 API or a ClearCOGS user account inside your instance. ClearCOGS does not post to your books, edit counts or write into your order templates. Your R365 setup stays exactly as it is.

Why run ClearCOGS alongside Restaurant365

Customizable Solutions
Alongside R365, not in place of it

Your accounting, inventory counts and P&L stay in Restaurant365. ClearCOGS adds the forward-looking layer: what each location should prep, order and staff for tomorrow.

Restaurants
No second item list to maintain

ClearCOGS reads the item records already kept in your R365 instance and handles the mapping, so your team is not rebuilding a catalog or keeping two lists in step.

Seamless Integration
Live in about three weeks

The ClearCOGS team connects your POS and your Restaurant365 instance. Most operators are live in about three weeks, without an IT project on their side.

Revenue
Works with your POS

Sales history comes from Toast, Square, and Oracle Simphony, plus other major POS systems, through one-way read access. Nothing about how you ring up orders changes.
