Fullkitch vs MarginKitchen

Fullkitch is web-based AI software for restaurant back-of-house operations. Its machine-learning forecasting predicts daily demand for every menu item, with stated 95% item-level accuracy. Phone-based computer vision and voice AI count inventory, with stated counts approximately 90% faster than manual methods. An autonomous agent checks stock, projected demand, and dynamic par levels before drafting purchase orders for manager approval. Scheduling uses demand forecasts, staff availability, labor laws, and house rules, with automatic labor-law compliance. A live P&L shows food-cost percentage, labor ratio against revenue, and per-item margin. Native integrations include Toast, Square, Lightspeed, Clover, Brink, Revel, QuickBooks, Xero, Restaurant365, Gusto, and ADP. AI agents can draft purchase orders, prep lists, and schedules, but nothing is sent without approval. Fullkitch targets independent restaurants, multi-unit operators, and franchise groups. It says the first location can go live in one week and additional locations in one day. Pricing is custom by quote, with no published tiers.

MarginKitchen turns restaurant POS, schedule, and vendor-invoice data into daily operating decisions before a shift begins; it works alongside those systems rather than replacing the POS. Demand Forecast estimates covers, items, and channel mix in 15-minute intervals. Smart Prep Planner recommends station pars, while Menu Margin Intelligence ranks dishes by margin and velocity. Labor Planner aligns shift coverage with forecast covers and SPLH guardrails, and Waste Tracker uses weekly waste to inform future plans. The integration directory lists 21 live connectors across POS, finance, labor, and suppliers, with CSV fallback for each provider; named POS connections include Toast, Square, Lightspeed, Revel, TouchBistro, and Clover. Managers must approve, edit, or reject recommendations, which do not automatically change prices, schedules, orders, or staffing. MarginKitchen is available on web and iOS. Single Location costs $119 a month, billed $1,428 billed annually, with a 14-day access period. The company says it completed a SOC 2 Type II audit in 2025 and that production data is encrypted at rest with AES-256 and in transit with TLS 1.3.
