Oracle and NetSuite have introduced Oracle NetSuite Restaurant Operations — a new AI-powered platform designed to consolidate back-office functions for restaurant and hospitality businesses by integrating inventory management, procurement, scheduling, production, and cash management into a single system.
The Oracle NetSuite Restaurant Operations solution is built on NetSuite’s cloud-based enterprise resource planning infrastructure and is intended to work alongside Oracle Simphony Cloud — the company’s point-of-sale platform — as well as other POS systems. The platform will provide operators with centralized access to key performance indicators, real-time data visibility, and AI-enhanced workflows that automate routine tasks such as inventory tracking and reporting. The innovation includes embedded AI tools that analyze operational data to identify trends and generate recommendations.
