Should I use Craftable?

Restaurant & hotel back-office software: inventory, purchasing, recipe costing - craftable.com

· 1 week ago

Buy if you run multi-location restaurants or bars that need inventory, purchasing, and recipe costing in one suite. Skip it if you're a single small venue — a simpler tool or spreadsheet will do.
