Meat-origin labeling in restaurants: French controls switched to targeted mode
Extended in 2022 to all meats, labeling is now controlled by the French DGCCRF with a targeted inspection strategy. Independents discover their blind spots.
Custom software for restaurants.
Between reservations, perishable stock, shifting team schedules and tight margins, food service needs tools that match its rhythm. Generic SaaS misses the specifics (daily menu, losses, tips).
01What we solve
Three recurring problems.
The same in most firms.
Before talking software, we talk pain points. If you don't recognize any of these three, we are probably not the right partner for you.
- 01
Reservations live on 5 platforms
TheFork, Google, OpenTable, your site, the phone: no consolidated view, duplicates, Saturday-night overbookings. Your floor managers spend a quarter of their time rebuilding the room plan.
5 booking channels, 0 consolidated view
- 02
Food cost drifts without notice
You know margin is degrading, you don't know on which dishes. Unknown loss ratio, fluctuating purchase prices, physical vs theoretical stock disagreement.
5-10 margin points lost yearly without detection
- 03
The menu changes, the tools don't follow
Daily menu, suggestions, market dishes: edited by hand on 4 surfaces (POS, site, blackboard, delivery platforms). Systemic errors, unsynchronized prices, late unavailability.
4 surfaces to update on each menu change
02Complex or critical software
The systems that
cannot fail.
When your processes require a replayable audit trail, sagas with compensation, or compliance by construction, we ship an event-driven architecture (DDD + CQRS + Event Sourcing), not a CRUD layered with audit logs.
NF525 POS with PAF replayable for 6 years
NF525-certified POS (VAT anti-fraud law): every payment, cancellation and credit-note operation is kept tamper-proof. Tax-audit presentation: exact reconstruction of any past day over 6 years.

05Frequently asked questions
Answers to the questions we get in meetings.
- Does my POS (Lightspeed / Tiller) stay in place?
- Yes. The POS remains king for counter ordering and payment. We sync with it for menu, stock, sales, without replacing it.
- Are delivery platforms (Uber Eats, Deliveroo) supported?
- Yes. Real-time menu and unavailability sync, order consolidation in a single kitchen screen, net per-platform margin tracking (fees included).
- Is the POS software NF525-certified?
- If you ask us to replace your POS, yes. If you keep Lightspeed/Tiller/iKentoo, their certification applies.
- How long to roll out?
- 4-6 weeks for an independent restaurant. 8-10 weeks for a multi-establishment group.
- My kitchen team doesn't want tools, really usable?
- The kitchen app is designed as a timer + checklist. No long entry, no complex menus. Validated on brigades of 3 to 20 people: immediate adoption.
