    SynergySuite is a comprehensive restaurant management back of house solution that empowers multi-unit restaurant brands to enhance their operational efficiency, equip their staff with modern technology, and consistently provide delightful experiences to their customers. Our software comprises eight mix and match modules that enable restaurant operators to streamline their processes, minimize costs, and achieve higher profit margins in a dynamic industry.

    In the past few years, the restaurant industry has faced significant challenges, making profitability elusive for some and leading to store closures. However, SynergySuite's platform caters to the evolving needs of the market. Our software offers a range of features that help enterprise restaurants optimize their food and labor costs, enhance their operations, and gain valuable insights into their business performance. 

    By leveraging SynergySuite's capabilities, operators can drive growth and expand their businesses despite the rapidly changing industry landscape. Since 2011, SynergySuite has been supporting restaurants' growth with our suite of back-of-house restaurant technology solutions and has emerged as a leader able to support and withstand industry disruption.

    SynergySuite is used by thousands of restaurants around the world with restaurants in North America, Ireland, the UK, and New Zealand.

  4. If you are providing written answers for your submission, you must provide an answer to this second question: Outline the organization's achievements since the beginning of 2021 that you wish to bring to the judges' attention (up to 250 words):

    Restaurants have faced numerous challenges in recent years, including the COVID-19 pandemic, inflation, and global supply chain and labor challenges. A survey by the National Restaurant Association found that 85% of restaurant operators reported smaller margins since the pandemic. However, the restaurant industry has been slow to adopt new technology, and were left scrambling as customers asked for touchless and delivery options, and they lost money with reporting that was weeks behind the latest supplier prices and demand for labor.

    SynergySuite is a comprehensive technology solution built to close the gaps in restaurant technology and increase efficiencies and profit margins as enterprise restaurants grow. One of the key benefits of SynergySuite's modular setup is that restaurants can choose only the features they need, but every module integrates seamlessly with the other. Many restaurants opt to use disparate "best of breed" solutions that don't communicate well with each other. By creating a comprehensive platform that customers choose what they need, SynergySuite has created a scalable system that drives restaurant growth.

    Each module is highly configurable to their unique operations, brand, and reporting requirements. By integrating with other restaurant technology, such as point of sale, accounting, suppliers, and payroll, SynergySuite provides valuable insights for individual locations and at the enterprise level. Having control and visibility over all back-of-house operations makes restaurants more nimble, sustainable, and scalable. Restaurants using SynergySuite are better able to compete for labor, grow margins, and make informed business decisions.

  5. If you are providing written answers for your submission, you must provide an answer to this third question: Explain why the achievements you have highlighted are unique or significant. If possible compare the achievements to the performance of other players in your industry and/or to the organization's past performance (up to 250 words):

    By creating a modular platform that has the flexibility of "best of breed" with none of the integration headaches, we have built a more scalable back-of-house platform for restaurant operators who are growing quickly.

    Additionally, SynergySuite has made a significant impact in the restaurant industry by providing cutting-edge back-of-house technology solutions to multi-unit restaurants throughout the duration of the pandemic. We’ve supported our restaurants by offering delayed billing, customer training and support, as well as developing a Covid-19 wellness feature for restaurants to utilize.
