Restoke vs Loaded: the real difference

Both platforms manage operations. Only one turns every invoice, sale, and inventory item into live margin decisions. Here's where the gap opens up.

A simple, intuitive and fun, culture-building task management platform for Hospitality! Plus Recipe Costing and OCR scanning that works! The support has been excellent (5-10 min turnaround instead of days) as are the training videos.

Steven Aspros
Hospitality consultant/GM

Comprehensive and intuitive. These guys really thought about every aspect. Almost seamless transition from Aussie point of view to US. So far, I cannot praise Restoke enough for offering me the opportunity to save enormous amounts of time.

Deborah Bailey
Proprietor, First & Green

It takes me 30 seconds to do my costing with Restoke. Before, I would be trying to find out how much everything is, like a slice of tomato, and have to start from scratch.

Aleksandra Krol
State Operations Manager, JP Hospitality Group

Restoke allows me to have full control over the whole operation, helps me control my expenses with insane accuracy and have the business running exactly as I want it to. Very scary my friend.

Johnny Di Francesco
Owner & Managing Director, Gradi Group

Our food cost level on a P&L basis used to be around 38% and after implementing Restoke for a period of 3 months, it's dropped to 28%. That’s 10% on a $10m revenue! That’s crazy. That’s the amount of savings you're getting.

Stanley Soon
Corporate Director, Gourmet Food Holdings

Before I found Restoke things were a bit all over the place with my ordering. Some suppliers I texted, some I had to email and I couldn’t track anything. Now I have a lot more time and I’m a lot less stressed!

Rick Hill
‍Owner, The Cart Co

Restoke is a godsend for us in keeping things digital and moving paperwork out faster. Now, when we have a health inspection and I show them Restoke, they say, "Oh! That's awesome!"

Monique Gregory
Owner, The Bearded Dragon Hotel

Restoke has been a great help when it comes to food costing. Automated price updates keep our business in the loop and allow us to adjust our menu price accordingly. The inventory feature is easy to use and provides us with an accurate figure.

Aiven Lee
Head Chef, Yum Sing House

The main problems we had were communication and organisation, now that we're with Restoke they're a thing of the past. I was a bit hesitant at first, thinking it would take a lot of time and energy to set up, but it was surprisingly easy and quick.

Roy Sassonkin
Chef and Owner, Tahina

This application has enabled us to tidy up our daily operations significantly. It gives us preps and procedures for our staff to work through each day, detailed recipes and a very intuitive system for scanning invoices and updating food costs on the fly - just to name a few!

Jayden
Founder / Business Owner, Empire Chicken

I'm finding I can be home a bit more now, which was an issue before - I couldn't have a Thursday off. Now I can be sitting at home and log in to see if we have stock ready for the weekend.

Renée Cornelissen
Head Chef, Lady Vandeburg

I had been searching for a new program to price my recipes for my store and came across Restoke. I was very excited when I saw all the features that it comes with. This program is very helpful in my day to day productions.
