Looking for a Restaurant365 alternative?
Restaurant365 is a good platform. It is also a full ERP, priced and built for enterprise. If you run one to twenty locations, here is the honest comparison.
Restaurant365 and FIXE, side by side
Same nine questions every operator asks, answered plainly for both.
| Restaurant365 |
|
What it means for you | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
What it is |
Full restaurant ERP: accounting, inventory, and scheduling |
Restaurant accounting and bookkeeping, built to do one thing well |
If you need inventory and scheduling in the same system, R365 covers more ground. If you need your books done right, FIXE is built for exactly that. |
|
Who it is built for |
Multi-unit enterprise groups, often 20+ locations, with an internal finance team |
Small restaurant groups, one to twenty locations, without a finance team on staff |
Location count and team size are the real dividing line here, not brand loyalty. |
|
Who does the work |
You do, using the software |
A dedicated FIXE bookkeeper does, using the software |
One is a tool you operate. The other is a team that operates it for you. |
|
Pricing transparency |
Custom quote, sales call required |
Published on the pricing page, no call required |
You can compare real costs before you ever pick up the phone. |
|
Time to first P&L |
Varies by implementation, often measured in months |
5 business days, after historical cleanup |
You see real numbers fast, without a long onboarding runway. |
|
POS and delivery reconciliation |
Built in |
Built in |
Both handle this well. It is not the deciding factor between them. |
|
Dedicated human |
Not typically, support runs through tickets |
Yes, a named account manager |
FIXE gives you one person who knows your restaurant, not a queue. |
|
Implementation time |
Weeks to months, more complex for a multi module rollout |
Days: historical cleanup plus a short parallel period |
Less time spent migrating, more time spent running your restaurants. |
|
Best fit |
Enterprise groups that need operations-wide functionality in one platform |
Small groups that want their books handled by specialists |
Pick based on where you are today, not where the bigger name sits. |

Which one is actually right for you
Both are good at what they are built for.
The honest version of this decision looks like this.
Enterprise, multi-unit groups
- You run 20+ locations and need inventory, scheduling, and accounting in one platform
- You have an internal finance team who will operate the software directly
- Operations-wide functionality matters more than a single dedicated point of contact
- You are prepared for a longer implementation in exchange for a broader platform
Small restaurant groups, 1 to 20 location
- You run one to twenty locations and want your books handled, not just software to log into
- You do not have, or do not want, an internal bookkeeper
- You want one named person who knows your restaurant, not a support ticket queue
- You want a real P&L within days of starting, not months
What it costs
Published pricing, right here. You should not have to book a call to find out what something costs.

What switching actually looks like
Historical cleanup
We reconcile your past books before day one, so nothing carries forward broken.
Parallel period
Your old system and FIXE run side by side until the numbers match.
First P&L in 5 business days
Real numbers, not a placeholder dashboard.
Your account manager, by name
One person who knows your restaurant, not a rotating queue.
Common questions
What is the difference between Restaurant365 and FIXE?
Restaurant365 is a full restaurant ERP that covers accounting, inventory, and scheduling in one platform you operate yourself. FIXE is a dedicated bookkeeping service built specifically for restaurants, where a real accountant does the work for you.
Is FIXE cheaper than Restaurant365?
FIXE publishes its pricing openly, so you can compare costs without booking a sales call. Restaurant365 pricing is custom quoted, which makes a direct comparison hard until you talk to their sales team.
How long does it take to switch from Restaurant365 to FIXE?
Most groups see their first FIXE built P&L within 5 business days of finishing historical cleanup, after a short parallel period where both systems run side by side until the numbers match.
Does FIXE handle POS and delivery reconciliation?
Yes. FIXE reconciles POS and third party delivery data as part of standard bookkeeping, the same way Restaurant365 does.
Do I need an internal bookkeeper if I use FIXE?
No. FIXE is built for groups that do not have, and do not want to hire, an internal bookkeeper. A dedicated FIXE account manager does that work.
What size restaurant group is FIXE built for?
FIXE is built for groups running one to twenty locations. Restaurant365 is generally the better fit above that, where an internal finance team is already operating the software.
Will I get a dedicated account manager?
Yes. Every FIXE client is assigned a named account manager, rather than a rotating support ticket queue.
What happens to my historical data when I switch?
FIXE reconciles your historical books before your first day live, so nothing carries forward broken or incomplete into your new P&L.
