Fullkitch Launches AI-native Restaurant Management Software That Runs Your Whole Back of House

Fullkitch, an AI-native back-of-house operating system for restaurants, today announced its launch across the United States.

For as long as restaurant software has existed, the industry has been sold the same lie: buy enough tools, and the back of house will run itself.

It doesn't. Ask any multi-unit operator what actually happens when the doors open and you'll hear the same story on repeat — a manager counting stock by hand, a clipboard covered in smudged par levels, a purchase order drafted on instinct, a schedule built from last week's template. The tools are there. They're just not working together.

The result is a business that bleeds from three places at once: food waste from ordering the wrong things, labor overage from scheduling the wrong people, and hundreds of hours a month burned on admin that should have been automated a decade ago.

That's the problem we set out to solve at Fullkitch.

The uncomfortable truth: forecasting isn't a feature, it's the foundation

Here's what most of the industry gets wrong. Restaurant management software vendors bolt forecasting onto a product that was never built for it. They take an inventory system, add a "demand prediction" tab, and call it AI. Take a labor tool, add a "forecast" widget, and ship it.

But forecasting isn't a bolt-on. It's the entire foundation.

Think about what actually runs a profitable restaurant. Every decision — what to order, what to prep, who to schedule — is downstream of one question: how many guests, and what will they order? Get that wrong and nothing else matters. You can have the fastest inventory counter and the fanciest scheduler in the world; if they're not built on a real demand forecast, they're guessing in different fonts.

Without reliable demand prediction, your inventory system is just a digital spreadsheet. Your labor tool is just shift templates. Your P&L is just historical noise.

So we rebuilt from the floor up. Fullkitch is an AI-native back-of-house operating system where forecasting sits at the core of a single, vertically-integrated system of record. Forecasting, inventory, labor, and finance all share one data model. There's no duct tape between them because there's nothing to tape together.

What we built

The idea is simple: the back of house should run itself, with a human approving rather than doing.

Forecast demand, item by item. Always-on machine learning predicts daily demand for every single menu item — not at the category level, not at the store level, but per item. That's the level where accuracy actually changes what you order and prep. Our models hit 95% item-level forecast accuracy.

Count inventory with your phone, not a clipboard. Point a camera at the stock room and computer vision verifies and counts every item. Speak the counts out loud and voice AI logs them. The entire stock room gets counted in minutes, daily — 90% faster than the manual counts that used to take hours and happen weekly at best.

Let AI agents do the work — you approve it. A procurement agent checks stock, pulls the projected demand, sets dynamic par levels, crafts reorder quantities, and drafts purchase orders for your sign-off. A prep agent turns the forecast into station-level prep sheets. A scheduling agent builds shifts from demand, availability, and labor law. Every one of them preserves a human in the loop.

Run inventory, labor, and finance on one source of truth. Purchase orders track to vendors by SMS. Invoices extract and reconcile against POs automatically. Real-time P&L shows food cost, labor ratio, and margin at item level — finally replacing the monthly QuickBooks scramble with something you can check every morning.

The part nobody believed: go live in a week

The dirty secret of back-of-house software is the rollout. Historically, onboarding meant a three-to-six-month integration project, an IT consultant, and a "migration" that never quite finished.

We built AI-native onboarding instead. On day one, Fullkitch's onboarding agents map how your operation actually runs — your menus, recipes, vendors, par levels, invoices, and schedules, and the relationships between them. No rip-and-replace. No six-month project.

The first location goes live in one week. Every additional location, once that first one is on the platform, goes live in one day.

That's the difference between software that reads about your business and software that's already running it.

Who this is for

If you run a single independent restaurant, Fullkitch gives you an autonomous back office at a cost that makes sense for one location — point your phone at the stock room and let ordering, prep, and scheduling handle themselves.

If you run a multi-unit or franchise group, it's the thing you've actually wanted: scale locations without scaling back-of-house headcount. Every new site inherits the intelligence of the last one, because the platform compounds with every count, order, prep sheet, and schedule.

Either way, the promise is the same: spend less time on admin, more time on hospitality, and watch the profit number finally move.

What's next

"Restaurants have been promised automation for years, and they got a graveyard of unused logins instead," said Angeline Tay, Founder & CEO of Fullkitch. "Fullkitch was built from the ground up with forecasting at the core — so the back of house finally runs itself, and operators get to spend their time on hospitality and the bottom line."

Fullkitch is live now and rolling out to restaurant operators across the U.S. If the back of house has been keeping you off the floor — or silently eating your margin while you were busy running the front of house — there's never been a better time to see what a system built the right way around actually feels like.

The back of house never ran itself. Until now.
