Instead of Spec
Spec alternatives
Spec gives bars and restaurants a focused way to manage food and beverage programs. Its product library holds carried items, while recipe costing covers ingredients, labor, and sub-recipes. Menus can be built from those products and recipes to examine pricing effectiveness. Ordering tools draft text or email orders and split bulk purchases by vendor. Waste tracking and purchase orders are included, while Pro adds digitized invoices, price alerts, invoice reports, stock counts, and multiple inventory locations. Staff can access recipes, product details, and training materials through Android, iOS, and web apps. A free plan is available, with a 30-day trial and paid plans from $99 per month.
