US Foods and Avero Introduce New Solution for Managing Food Costs

The new cutting-edge software solution
introduces a more efficient way to manage a restaurant kitchen by
bringing inventory control, purchasing, receiving, and more to one
place.
Today, US Foods and Avero introduced a revolutionary new product
that makes the challenging job of running a restaurant kitchen
easier – Avero Food Cost Management (FCM). Avero FCM easily
integrates with a restaurant’s point of sale system to give a
seamless, digital look into food cost data and real-time inventory
information. It also provides predictive sales forecasts and
purchase quantity suggestions that tell restaurant operators
exactly what they need to order, and when they need to order
it.
“No restaurateur gets into this business because they love
managing inventory and food costs, but this is essential and
important work and through our partnership with Avero we are making
this work easier,” said Jim Osborne, Senior Vice President,
E-Commerce and Business Solutions, US Foods. “We know how difficult
running a restaurant can be and that’s why we’ve made bringing
leading technology solutions to our customers a priority.”
The US Foods and Avero partnership means that US Foods
customers’ product lists and purchase trends are automatically
loaded into Avero FCM based on historical purchases and invoices.
All new US Foods orders can be placed quickly through Avero FCM,
and customers’ inventory is automatically updated with the new
purchases once they are received, saving operators hours each week.
Additionally, the new product streamlines inventory counting and
waste tracking – two areas where operators say they need help.
“At Avero we pride ourselves on understanding what restaurateurs
want before they even know they want it, and we’ve taken that to
the next level with our new Food Cost Management solution,” said
Damian Mogavero, CEO and Founder of Avero. “Avero FCM adds
tremendous value to the Avero product set, and our integration with
US Foods gives restaurant operators across the country the ability
to revolutionize their purchasing and inventory, helping them get
back to doing what they love.”
Avero Food Cost Management is an affordable solution that can
benefit all US Foods customers. Customers who already have or sign
up for the Avero Gold package get FCM for free. To learn more visit
