Running a restaurant means juggling a dozen different tasks - tracking inventory, managing food costs, processing invoices, forecasting sales - and most operators are doing all of it manually in spreadsheets. This scattered approach wastes hours every week and leaves you flying blind on the numbers that actually matter for profitability. That's why thousands of restaurant owners are switching to Cactus software - a platform that brings everything together in one place and automates the tedious work so you can focus on what you do best: serving great food.


Everything You Need in One Platform

Unlike juggling multiple tools or drowning in spreadsheets, Cactus handles all your back-office operations in a single system. Automated invoice processing means you upload vendor invoices from your phone and the system reads, categorizes, and tracks everything automatically - saving 10+ hours weekly on data entry. Your food costs update in real-time as ingredient prices change, so you always know your true margins without manual recalculation.

Inventory management gives you real-time visibility into what's in your kitchen, with smart reorder alerts that prevent stock-outs before they happen. Whether you're tracking food, wine by the bottle, or house-made ingredients like salsa, the system handles it all. Multi-location operators see every kitchen from one dashboard, making it easy to transfer excess stock and balance inventory across sites.


Know Your Numbers, Make Better Decisions

Cost control becomes simple when you can see food cost percentage by menu item in real-time. Cactus tracks ingredient costs automatically, calculates recipe costs including house-made items, and alerts you when margins drop below target. You'll know exactly which dishes are profitable and which need price adjustments - no more guessing.

Revenue management takes it further with AI-powered sales forecasting that predicts next week's demand based on your sales patterns, weather, events, and trends. This helps you prep the right quantities, schedule staff efficiently, and reduce waste from over-preparation.


Built for Restaurant Operators, Not Accountants

The biggest reason restaurant owners choose Cactus? It's designed for how restaurants actually work. You don't need technical skills or hours of training. The interface is intuitive, the automation handles complexity behind the scenes, and you get actionable insights without becoming a data analyst.

Stop losing time to manual processes and money to invisible costs. Cactus software brings clarity, control, and time savings to your restaurant operations - so you can run a more profitable business without working harder.
