What Compeat does

Compeat, doing business as Restaurant365 (R365), is a vertically-focused restaurant management software company that provides an integrated SaaS platform serving the back-office operations of restaurants and restaurant groups. The platform unifies four primary modules — Accounting, Inventory & Purchasing, Workforce Management, and Payroll & HR — plus a mobile companion app, targeting the full restaurant P&L from sales and food cost through labor, tips, and compliance. The company's stated customer base exceeds 52,000 restaurants, spanning independent operators, franchise brands, multi-location groups, and accounting firms serving restaurant clients across verticals including QSR, casual dining, fast casual, fine dining, coffee, and pizza.

The company's technology foundation is R365 AI, an intelligence engine the company describes as trained on the full restaurant P&L, connecting sales, costs, payments, and profitability across modules. R365 AI powers AI Dashboards for inventory monitoring, AI Scheduling for one-click optimized workforce scheduling, and AI Advisor (in early access) for cross-finance question answering. The platform is sold primarily through an enterprise field sales motion with quote-based subscription pricing and no publicly disclosed tiers. Distribution is augmented by a three-tier partner ecosystem: technology partners (POS and integration vendors), vendor partners (cost-data providers), and channel/service partners (accounting firms and bookkeepers serving restaurant clients).

Compeat was founded in 2000 and rebranded to Restaurant365; the firm is privately held with prior investment from Serent Capital (2015) and acquired Ctuit Software in 2017. The company operates from Irvine, CA (headquarters) with additional offices in Austin, Akron, Mexico City, and Nablus, employing 101-250 people. Pricing is quote-based and contract cadence is annual; no public revenue or ARR disclosure is available.
