Compeat Restaurant Management Systems is a leading provider of restaurant

management and accounting systems. Founded in 2000, Compeat has hundreds of customers
and thousands of restaurant installations ranging in size from high-volume independent
operators to large restaurant chains.

One restaurant solution does not typically

fit the needs of all restaurant operators.
Quick and limited service restaurant operators have
different needs than full service operators. Large
chains have different requirements than smaller
chains or independent operators. Compeat therefore
offers two web-enabled restaurant management
product suites: Advantage and Enterprise.

Why Choose Compeat

AUSTIN TX

Compeat is growing rapidly. in 2011, Compeat's

revenue increased by more than 40% over 2010...
Compeat software has been installed in
almost 600 new restaurants in the last two
years alone. Why are so many restaurant
operators choosing Compeat over other
restaurant management systems?

Integrated Back Office

and Accounting
Compeat Advantage handles both back
office and accounting in one seamlessly
integrated solution. All operational and
financial information is stored in one
common database and is therefore always
up-to-date and always in balance. Our
customers can drill down from a line item
in their Profit & Loss Statement all the way
to the transactional detail at the restaurant.
Audits are fast and easy and information
does not have to be imported from one
system to another.

More Comprehensive
Product Offering
Compeat is the only back office restaurant
provider with solutions for:
1) Inventory Control

which results in restaurant personnel

having to learn to use multiple systems.
Purchasing systems from multiple
vendors almost always results in higher
costs. In addition, system integration is
compromised by using multiple systems
which results in redundant data entry or
less comprehensive reporting.

Superior Software
Licensing Terms
Compeat is unique in our industry
because we allow our customers to own
their software license. There are two
paths to ownership:
One Time License
up-front purchase
or

On-Demand License

Unlike our competitors, Compeat does

not require you to pay into perpetuity
for our software. Compeat licensing is
therefore less expensive and the longer
Compeat software is used, the more
money is saved.

3) Workforce Management

Flexible Hosting Terms

4) Commissary

Compeat is unique in our industry

because we allow you to utilize our
software hosting datacenter or to host
our software yourself using your own
datacenter. Whether your motivation is
security, privacy, or simply leveraging an

6) Payroll
Our competitors only have pieces and
parts of this comprehensive offering,

Friendly Contract
Most back office software providers
require a long term contract (typically
three years) that prohibits cancellation
or includes stiff cancellation penalties.
Compeat, however, allows our customers
to cancel their contract at any time with just
30 days advanced notice. The reason we
do this is simply because we consistently
satisfy our customers.

In a recent survey, over 90%

of Compeats customers
reported significant
benefits such as reduced
costs, decreased labor
requirements, and improved
operating efficiency.

does not require our customers to utilize
our hosting services.

Outstanding Customer
Satisfaction
Compeat customers consistently rave
about our products and services. As a
result, we have been able to amass a
great number of customer testimonials,
case studies, and white papers that detail
our customer success stories in their own
words. Visit Compeat.com to hear what
they have to say.

ompeat Restaurant Management Systems, a leading provider

of restaurant management and accounting software, surveyed
their entire customer base to discover where their customers

have benefited as a result of implementing Compeat. Nine key areas of

possible benefit were identified and customers were asked to rate their

gained in both the restaurants and at

the corporate office. With Compeat
we have been able to achieve great
advancements and efficiencies in our
restaurant back office management and
we could not be more pleased, said

CFO of Mortons.

experience. Over 90% of the respondents reported significant benefits

in multiple areas related to reduction in food and beverage costs,
reduction in labor requirements, and gains in operating efficiency.
Reducing Food & Beverage
Costs with Compeat
The majority (almost 60%) of Compeats
customers reported reduced food
and beverage costs. The average
reported combined food and beverage
cost savings was a whopping 5%
(food = 2.68% and beverage = 2.34%).
For a restaurant averaging $1 million per
year in revenue, this equates to $50,000
annually. We expected to lower our food
costs, but didnt know they would go so
much lower, or how quickly that would
occur. Compeat is the tool that made it
possible, said Jeremy DeBlieux, Director
of New Business Operations for Acme
Oyster House in New Orleans.
Kona Grill implemented Compeat
in their 19 stores in 2008 and has
seen a remarkable improvement
in their bottom line. They have
recognized an average 1.5%
reduction in cost of goods
sold per store resulting in an
overall gain in profits of
$15,833 per store
and over $300,000
annually for
the chain!
Other customers who have greatly
reduced their costs are: Crabby Bills
Seafood - 6% in food costs and 2% in
beverage costs, Ivars Seafood - 5% in
food costs, New Orleans Hamburger and

Seafood Company - 3% reduction in food

and beverage costs, and Turner Food
and Spirits - 2% in food costs and 3% in
beverage costs. Kaizen Management LLC
also reported an 8% reduction in food costs
and a 7% reduction in beverage costs after
implementing Compeat in Blue Shore Grill.

Increase Labor Efficiencies

with Compeat
Labor reductions are not always recognized
with a system like Compeat. This is because
the added level of control that is made
possible by Compeat can result in added
work if these control processes were not
previously in place. However, over 49% of
the respondents reported improved
labor efficiencies from Compeat.
Over 74% of the respondents saw
a decrease in the requirement for
spreadsheets, 49% saw reduced
company office administration
needs, and over 38% reported
reduced time requirements for
their store managers.
Mortons
Restaurant
Group, Inc.
streamlined their
inventory management &
accounting. Compeat software allowed
Mortons to condense their 76 different
inventories into one simplified master
inventory. The result was Labor efficiencies

Southernmost Restaurant Group, owner of

four signature restaurants in the Key West
area, report that by having an integrated
back office and accounting system, they
are able to eliminate a huge amount
of administrative work and one full time
employee. It would take an entire
accounting period to close the books prior
to Compeat, reported Theresa Rothaus,
Director of Operations at Southernmost.
Compeat has also resulted in increased
job satisfaction as well as an increase in
customer satisfaction since the managers
now have more time to focus on the front
of the house.
Taste Buds Management, owner of
ten Zea Restaurants and one Semolina
Restaurant, reported significant labor
savings. Chris Rodrigue, Taste Buds
CEO states, We run profit after cost of
sales and labor 4% to 5% better than
Darden, Cheesecake, Brinker and
PF Changs primarily due to Compeat.
According to Rodrigue, Compeat has

continued

(continued)

enabled Taste Buds to double in size and only increase their accounting department
by one employee as well as eliminate the Unit Controller position in all restaurants.

Increased Efficiency in Operations

Increased Efficiency as a result of implementing Compeat was the leading area
for positive response. An amazing 83.6% of respondents reported better insight into
their operations. Over 81% reported increased timeliness of information. Over 76%
reported an increase in the availability of key information to all stakeholders and
83% reported better collection and unification of their Point of Sale, Back Office, and
Accounting information.
The Wedge Corp, owner of 7 Rock Wood Fired Pizza and Spirits, outlined one of their
gains in efficiency. Compeats eXcellent Financial Functions are a big factor in
getting information into our restaurant managers hands in a way that allows timely &
intelligent decision making, reported Eric Edenholm, outside Consulting CPA for The
