Apicbase review

Apicbase rounds out the list as a deep back-of-house platform aimed at groups running five or more outlets, often with a central kitchen. The Growth plan, which starts from 5 outlets, covers menu engineering, procurement, inventory management, sales analytics, a mobile app for intake and counts, and order to par. Professional adds demand forecasting, BOM ordering, user management, custom fields, SSO and 2FA, and Enterprise adds a 99% uptime SLA, a dedicated customer success manager and custom integrations. Paid add-ons cover HACCP and tasks, traceability with lot numbers, internal ordering from outlets to a central production kitchen, production planning and menu planning. It also tracks CO2, food waste and Scope 3 purchases, which few rivals here offer. It ranks last because pricing is quote only, and HACCP, traceability and production planning cost extra on top of the plan.
