Does it replace my POS?
No. The register and kitchen screens stay with the system you use now. Corwen builds the back of house around it.
For restaurantsUpdated
Software for restaurants
Corwen builds independent restaurants their own back-of-house app for the work the register doesn't cover well: food cost, ordering, counts and shift closeout. Describe your restaurant, answer a few questions about the tools you use and who's on your team, and Corwen picks the pieces from a menu of 240 and builds it. You try it on made-up data first, and you own the app and the data.
Your point of sale stays. Corwen builds around it, so recipes and stock live in one place you own.
Food cost is where most of the live pieces are today: recipe costing tied to supplier prices, actual versus theoretical usage, par-level order guides and stock counts laid out like your storeroom.
