Startup Idea: Software Solution for Efficient Restaurant Management

Startup idea to develop a software solution targeting multiple pain points of restaurant operations. The software aims to create a fair seating system ensuring servers are seated equally, generate randomized daily special dishes based on inventory, and allow unlimited customization to food orders for better back of the house operations. The system will be geared towards small businesses and chains, enabling efficient kitchen management and enhancing customer service.

• Would love to see some software that helps create a perfect seating system, that way servers are able to be seated fairly. We have hosts that play favorites, and pick who they want to send new customers to, and I feel that a more randomized system would be a huge benefit for that crowd.

As well as a system to help with a randomized speciality dish for an evening that would pull different menu items from a database and use that dish for the evenings special. It would ONLY use preexisting inventory systems to create the dish for that evening.

Another idea is a system to help create food modifications that are better set up to assist the back of the house. Most systems only allow a certain amount of modifiers to food, one that can allow an unlimited customization would be hugely tremendous.

Saddly i'm not in a position to purchase as I work for a chain restaurant, however any of these systems related to a smaller business may take up one of them, as it's stuff I have seen mentioned while working in kitchens over the years.

All these systems would be able to help create a better flow of kitchen management, as well as assist in better service to customers, while still maintaining a small profile in a pos system.

If this was my own company i'd pay under 10,000 for the software that would do any of these things. I tried to find a solution actually that our corporation allows us to purchase and use, and unfortunately there is nothing that I have seen that contains much of the ideas proposed, its mostly generic ideas that still needs a alot of input from exterior sources.
