A system for any F&B business

Our point of view

The inventory problem was never the counting. It was the method.

A food business is a store, a factory and a service operation — all at once, every day, with perishable products. For years, the industry has tried to fix the money lost between what you buy, what you produce and what you sell with more counting tools. The numbers still don't add up.

FBHcontrol was built the other way around: method first, software second. That's why our clients stay for 10+ years. The proof isn't speed — it's permanence.

How it works

We sell knowledge, not just software.

FBHcontrol started as a consulting practice. We trained 3,000+ executives, found that the real unsolved problem was the method, and built the software to execute it. The method organizes every process around control: specific control cycles, a disciplined close, and every product followed from purchase to plate.

  1. Step 01PurchasingWhat came in?
    At what cost?
  2. Step 02ProductionWhat was made?
    At what yield?
  3. Step 03SalesWhat was sold?
    At what real cost?
  4. ResultReal cost vs. theoreticalEvery day.
    Every product.

Control organizes your operation. An organized operation is a profitable one.

Before every close, the system checks the quality of your data, so the numbers you decide with can be trusted.

Where we fit

We're not an all-in-one. We're your complete back office.

Your POS sells.
FBHcontrol controls everything in between.
Your accounting or ERP records.

One tool can't do everything well. Your POS was built to sell and your accounting or ERP system to record. Everything that happens in between — from the back door to the plate — is our job. We integrate with both, and a new POS interface usually takes 1–2 days.

Works with Simphony, Aloha, PAR, PixelPoint, ICG, Softrestaurant, Aldelo, TCPOS and more.
