An Overview of the Live-Kitchen.com software system:

Web based software
Live-Kitchen.com is completely web based! This means that you can use the system from your kitchen, from home, from the airport, from your car, from the beach, or anywhere else you can get on the Internet! This also means that getting a new kitchen up and running is as simple as putting a computer in place and setting up your Internet connection.

Customer Interaction
Without customers, your business can't succeed. Therefore, we do our best to make sure customer communication and ease of use is key. From the obvious features such as online menus, pricing, kitchen locators, kitchen email tools, and an ordering system. We also have a member area that allows your customers to rate your meals, see nutritional information and cooking instructions customized to their ordered menu. Customers also receive reminder emails of their upcoming sessions as well as reminders o the upcoming menu. Let's keep it easy and let's keep customers ordering...to your success!

Corporate Headquarters
In a franchised Meal Assembly company you will always have kitchens to look out for, after all...that's why they chose to become part of a franchise. With Live-Kitchen.com headquarters has the ability to give the kitchens the support that they need. From session management, assisted pricing structures, top down inventory and menu management, to detailed franchise wide and kitchen specific reporting, headquarters can watch for red flags, trends, and much more to keep the system healthy. We even have a private franchisee site for distribution of order guides, labels, menus, pod/station layouts, change out instructions, and training material!

Merchant processors and Point of sale
To make it easy for you to get payment as quick as possible, we integrate with several merchant processors. We work with Linkpoint, YourPay, Authorize.net, Paypal, and can even customize the system to work whoever you are currently using! In addition, we have a Pay on Arrival option, Gift Certificate option, and Check option. But...how do you track cash in your kitchen? Our point of sale system takes care of any payment type and completely integrates with reservation/order management as well as reporting. Keep track of the cash and checks in the kitchen and see detailed reports of what's going on with your revenue and orders. And don't forget that our point of sale system allows integration with a receipt printer and card swiper...we also support manual phone line swipers, and have the ability to re-print or re-email receipts. How much easier could it be?

Grocery store
Our inventory management system allows you the flexibility of integrating items purchased at at a grocery store into your inventory. When you need one small jar of honey, you aren't going to order a large food service package from your bulk vendors. We allow you to manage your inventory easiliy, quickly, and efficiently based on how you run your business.

Large wholesale food service vendors
We've worked with Sysco Foods to allow easy integration of their eSysco order guide right into inventory. You can literally import a full truck of items into your inventory within 5 minutes.

The Kitchen - where the magic happens
From the kitchen level, we have tools that allow them to manage sessions, inventory, pre-made meals, reservations, walk-in orders, gift certificates, customer relations, payment tracking, automatic menu print outs, and so much more.

Business Analytics and Reporting
We've gone to great lengths to make sure that the reporting and analytics provided are actually useful. Our reporting allows you to gain deep insight into your daily operations as well as a franchise wide overview. Run your business with purpose and track those goals!
