Success Stories

"We process 99 percent of our food and beverage purchases through Adaco, we save time and money because we don't have to export or search multiple vendor sites and plug prices into a spreadsheet. Adaco.NET cuts down on the time needed to process complex buys by aggregating multiple purchase requisitions from multiple outlets for multiple products and combining them into individual POs for each vendor."

"After only two hours of training, the hotel's restaurant manager began ordering and tracking beverages; with similar introductions to the software, several sous chefs began entering their food requisitions online. Shows me what I've spent on food each day, giving us a better idea of what our food costs will be long before the month is over."

"Adaco's scalability, its ability to track nutritional values and the ease of sharing, exporting and importing information when required.

"As the features were compared, it then came down to what each vendor could offer in terms of their own future and sustainability. Adaco would often ask, ‘How can we help?’ rather than say an enhancement couldn't be done."

"Most operations don't use a quarter of the data they have sitting in their systems. Often it's scattered among different systems that don't talk to each other, but you can still achieve a lot by focusing on what they're tracking individually. We were the launch site for the original Adaco inventory/purchasing system and it's been the single best system we've ever had, both for quality and reliability. We're very big on controlling and allocating food costs properly throughout the operation, and the Adaco System has helped us tremendously with accurate data, menu engineering and production planning."

The software is outstanding and truly indicative of a good, well thought out software program."

"Anyone who has worked in a manual Cost Control environment will understand the difficulty and additional manpower it takes to provide comprehensive data based on purchasing, requisitioning, recipe management, menu analysis and inventory on a daily/weekly or monthly basis. Using the Adaco System has helped to reduce food and beverage costs year on year, in addition to increasing the accuracy and flow of information from my department."
