We Do COGS Well.
Our founders come from strong restaurant backgrounds and have spent decades delivering restaurant inventory, recipe, and cost management systems to tens of thousands of restaurants across all food service segments. Their wealth of knowledge and time spent in the trenches (and weeds) translated into the COGS-Well we see today.
​
COGS-Well is our third-generation system for managing restaurant inventory, recipes, and costs. It is the byproduct of our founders’ 150+ years of collective experience and success in building, implementing, and supporting restaurant management systems.
When launching COGS-Well, we took on a mission to deliver a comprehensive system that would also be much easier to install and maintain than traditional restaurant inventory systems. We knew the best way to achieve this was to eliminate manual invoice entry and to do the complicated and time-consuming tasks of setting up and maintaining inventory items for our customers.
Since then, we have further differentiated ourselves through customer-centric implementation and support services. We believe your success as an operator using our software is a measure of our success.
​
There is no other team with more restaurant inventory experience, and we consistently go above and beyond to help our customers through expert consultations and by adding customer-requested enhancements.
Finally, we want to make it as easy and inexpensive as possible for our customers to get up and running. As a COGS-Well customer, you'll benefit from an easy-to-cancel monthly subscription service (versus annual) and very affordable setup, training, and subscription fees.
The “COGS” in COGS-Well stands for "Cost of Goods Sold". We do “COGS well” by making inventory control and recipe management much easier and more efficient. Now you can 86 the outdated systems and processes that are no longer working for you.
"COGS-Well has been a game-changer for our business, streamlining our processes in ways that were previously unimaginable."
