A hotel restaurant dining room in service

FABS F&B Edition™

Built for food and beverage operations of every shape.

Turn every outlet into one accountable food and beverage operation.

An independent house, a group, the F&B department inside a resort, a bar, a private dining room, a catering company or a truck. You don't have to deploy the entire operating system on day one — begin where the money moves and expand over time.

Start with one revenue center. Expand when you're ready.

Choose your F&B operation

Every food and beverage operation is different. The architecture isn't.

Independent house, group, hotel department, bar, private dining, catering or mobile — select yours and see the operating domains FABS understands and the systems that feed them.

Inventory control

  1. 01Beginning inventory + purchases − ending inventory → actual usage
  2. 02POS sales × recipe → theoretical usage
  3. 03Actual vs. theoretical variance
  4. 04Purchasing · waste · portioning · comps · control · pricing · recipes · vendors
  5. 05Margin

FABS does not count your shelves. It governs the consequence of what the count reports.

Vendor to consequence

  1. 01Vendor → SKU → purchase price → price movement
  2. 02Quantity purchased → inventory
  3. 03Recipe / menu item → sales
  4. 04Contribution margin
  5. 05Executive decision

That is how a vendor price increase eventually becomes an executive consequence.

FABS does not replace your POS, accounting, inventory, procurement, scheduling, reservation or analytics platforms. It sits above them and governs the combined operational consequence.

Inside a hotel or resort, F&B is a dozen small businesses on one licence.

A resort's food and beverage operation runs on one payroll and one owner's expectations. FABS reads the outlets together and gives the Director of Food & Beverage one accountable day.

Operate a standalone restaurant or a multi-unit group? That is its own conversation, and it has its own edition.

The expansion path

One revenue centre, then the next, then the property.

  1. 01

    Pool bar

    One outlet, one manager, one week of real numbers.

  2. 02

    Restaurants

    Outlet-level cost of sales, labour and check average side by side.

  3. 03

    Breakfast

    The highest-volume, lowest-visibility service of the day.

  4. 04

    Banquets

    Contracted covers against actual consumption and labour.

  5. 05

    Events

    Event profitability, not event revenue.

  6. 06

    Entire resort

    Rooms, spa, marina and retail join the same operating day.

Nothing is rebuilt when you expand. The same engine, the same Metric Spine™ and the same operating day simply take in more of the property.

What the edition watches every morning

  • Outlet revenue against forecast, by day part
  • Cost of sales by outlet and category
  • Labour cost as a share of outlet revenue
  • Covers, check average and capture rate
  • Voids, comps and discount exposure
  • Menu item contribution, not just popularity
  • Guest sentiment attributable to F&B

Who owns what

  • Director of Food & Beverage

    Owns outlet revenue, cost of sales, labour and check average.

  • Executive Chef

    Owns food cost, menu contribution and production against covers.

  • Outlet Managers

    Own the shift: covers, service exceptions and labour to plan.

  • Managing Director

    Sees one F&B line in the operating day, with the decision attached.

An F&B start is a smaller connection

One class of system

The point-of-sale, plus payroll or scheduling where it exists. No PMS work is required to begin.

No re-keying

FABS reads what your outlets already produce. Nobody enters a number twice, and no manager gets a new screen to fill in.

Aggregate first

A proof of concept uses operational totals only — no guest data, no personal information.

FABS is pre-revenue and preparing its founding deployment. Every capability shown in a demonstration runs on the FABS Founding Demonstration Property™, and we will tell you in the meeting what is proven live and what is not.

Start with your highest-impact revenue centre. Expand to the entire property when you're ready.
