MEINbusiness is a cloud-based business intelligence and controlling software built specifically for the gastronomy and hospitality industry. It gives restaurants, hotels, caterers and multi-location groups a permanent, real-time view of their financial and operational performance — without the need for extensive IT infrastructure.
At its core, MEINbusiness turns scattered operational data into a single source of truth. Incoming supplier invoices flow directly into the system, where they are digitized, checked and automatically pre-assigned to the right account in your bookkeeping. This data is then connected with POS sales, recipes and staff information, giving operators one consolidated, always-current picture of their business.
From this foundation, MEINbusiness automates the reporting that restaurateurs and hospitality operators would otherwise assemble by hand. Key figures such as turnover, cost of goods sold, personnel costs, contribution margins and productivity are available live at any time, from anywhere, on any internet-enabled device. What used to require manual counting, spreadsheets and month-end guesswork becomes a continuous, transparent overview of profitability.
