Fourth Restaurant Operations Suite

Fourth provides workforce and inventory technology for restaurants, retailers and hotels. Its February 2026 press release carries an Austin, Texas dateline and the site has regional pages for the US, UK and Australia. It addresses multi-location operators who struggle to see how labor, sales, margin and inventory perform in each store.

The Restaurant Operations Suite covers inventory management (purchasing, receiving, invoicing, recipes, menu engineering and dynamic production and prep), workforce management and analytics, on top of the Fourth iQ AI platform. Fourth iQ 3.0 adds balanced scorecards, a conversational assistant and anomaly detection across sales, labor and inventory. The company reports 15,000+ customers across 120,000 locations.

• Inventory management: purchasing, receiving, invoicing and recipe and menu engineering.
• Dynamic production and prep: prep planning tied to inventory.
• Workforce management: scheduling, time and attendance and labor compliance.
• Fourth iQ: AI forecasting and an app for managers.
• Balanced scorecards: above-store view of labor, sales, margin and execution.
• Anomaly detection: monitors sales, labor, inventory and execution data.

A Vietnamese restaurant chain can compare food cost, labor and inventory variance across outlets on one scorecard. Area managers can use anomaly alerts to catch stock shortfalls before service.

• Shows labor, sales, margin and execution for all locations in one scorecard view. 2. Flags unexpected deviations in sales, labor and inventory early. 3. Tracks how well each location uses its tools to target training. 4. Connects to POS and supplier systems such as Toast, Sysco and US Foods.

Multi-unit restaurant operators are adopting above-store analytics and AI assistants to find which practices drive margin. Vietnamese chains expanding outlet counts need comparable store-level visibility into cost and inventory.
