What is Restaurant Management Software?
Restaurant management systems (RMS) are designed to improve the efficiency of your hospitality business. BarSight goes beyond basic scheduling and includes comprehensive tools for restaurants, bars, cafes, breweries, and cideries.
Our platform handles the unique challenges of the hospitality industry: weekend scheduling, overnight shifts, cross-trained employees with multiple roles, brewery batch tracking, kitchen inventory management, guest event bookings, employee training programs, and complete financial tracking including cash transactions.
