What Is Acumatica F&B Edition?
One Platform for Stores, Kitchens and Finance
Licensing Model
Unlimited User License
Pricing is based on system resource usage, not on the number of users. Add stores, branches, kitchen staff and part-time employees without paying for extra licenses.
Unlike SAP, Oracle or Microsoft, which charge per user. That model gets expensive for chains with large, high-turnover store teams.
Cloud Platform
Cloud + AI for F&B Operations
Free version upgrades twice a year, applied automatically in the cloud. AI detects inventory anomalies and suspicious shift sales, while dashboards show sales, costs and margins in real time.
Helps owners see profit and loss for every store without waiting for month-end reports.
Benefits for F&B Chains
Why F&B Chains Choose Acumatica
Reduce Ingredient Waste
Acumatica controls ingredients by recipe, expiry date and lot. Each dish and drink has a clear recipe (BOM), and stock is deducted automatically when items are sold or prepared.

- Stock counts at the counter with the mobile app and barcode
- 2-5% lower cost of goods sold, with less waste and internal fraud
Easy for Kitchen and Bar Staff
The Acumatica mobile app is designed for front-line staff and is easy to learn, with about 30 minutes of training.
- Multi-unit barcodes (carton, pack, bottle, cup) for fast receiving and counting
- Zalo notifications so seasonal staff never miss important tasks
- Fewer errors and faster customer service
Lower Total Cost Than SAP or Oracle
One system for sales, inventory, purchasing and accounting cuts operating time and IT costs.
- Up to 50% lower implementation and maintenance costs than Oracle, SAP or Microsoft ERP

Control Recipes and Waste
Manage a detailed recipe (BOM) for every item and backflush ingredients automatically from sales. The system makes the gap between actual and book stock visible, building a culture of integrity instead of after-the-fact fixes.

Run Kitchens and Warehouses on Mobile
Staff receive stock, issue to the kitchen, count inventory and record waste on a phone or handheld. Because Acumatica does not charge per user, every kitchen and warehouse employee can use the system.

Send ERP Notifications to Zalo
The ERP talks to staff through Zalo, the most familiar platform in Vietnam. Part-time staff receive stock count, receiving and low-stock alerts without logging in to the ERP.

Vietnamese Language Pack for Fast Rollout
The system fits Vietnamese language, workflows and accounting reports, so store teams, accountants and managers get up to speed faster and training costs drop.
