Counts, invoices, ordering, and labor. Handled.

Kintow reads every invoice, watches every vendor price, counts inventory by voice, builds your orders, forecasts sales from your history, the weather, and the calendar, and texts you the moment something is off. Live in about a week.

Toast or Square for sales. Homebase, 7shifts, or whatever you schedule in. Your vendors' invoices by email. Kintow pulls it into one place, so the count, the invoice, the schedule, and the sales finally sit next to each other.

Alert

When something moves, you know that minute, by text, Slack, or email, whichever you actually read. Someone clocks in late. Someone overstays. A vendor raises a price. A count comes in short.

Automate

Orders built to par from the forecast, ready for your GM to approve. Schedules drafted from the forecast and what actually happened last week. Counts by voice. The work still gets done, just not by hand.

Four jobs your managers stop doing by hand.

Count inventory by voice

Walk the walk-in and talk. Kintow matches what it hears to your items and units, fills the count sheet, and flags anything it did not catch. A full count takes minutes, not a clipboard and an evening.

Catch every price increase

Every invoice is read line by line and compared to the last price you paid. When a vendor moves, you know that day, along with which menu items it hits and what it does to your margin.

Orders built for your GM, not by your GM

Kintow forecasts what you will sell, builds each vendor order to par, and puts it in front of your GM ready to go. They check it, adjust if they want, and approve. Kintow sends it to the vendor by email or on their portal.

Forecast the week. Weather and holidays included.

Kintow forecasts sales by the hour from your POS history, then adjusts for the weather forecast and the calendar: holidays, long weekends, the first warm Saturday of spring. The schedule and the orders follow the forecast. Rain at 2 pm on Tuesday means one fewer person at 2 pm on Tuesday. Labor Day Monday means more.

The short answers.

What is Kintow, in one sentence?
Back office software for restaurant groups: it reads your invoices, watches vendor prices, counts inventory by voice, builds vendor orders for your GM to approve, and forecasts sales from your history, the weather, and the calendar, so managers stop doing those things by hand.
Which point of sale do you work with?
Toast and Square are fully connected and can be set up self-serve. If you run something else, tell us on the form and we will say plainly whether we can support it today.
What does it cost?
$199 per location per month, month to month, with a 14-day free trial. No setup fee.
How long does it take to get live?
About a week for most groups. Connect your POS and forward vendor invoices to your Kintow inbox, and the data starts building the same day.
Does it replace MarginEdge or xtraCHEF?
Yes. We map your existing items, vendors, and recipes over during onboarding so nothing starts from scratch.
What happens on the demo?
About twenty minutes with someone who has run restaurants, at whatever time works for you. We show Kintow live at a working cafe and answer your questions. We cannot run it on your data before you sign up, but you can start a free trial the same day if you want to see it on yours.

See it running at a real cafe, or run it at yours.
