Restaurant365 API
Restaurant365 exposes a REST/JSON API plus an OData read connector, both publicly documented. Neither is self-serve: access starts with an email to support and customer sign-off. Auth is username/password bearer tokens, there are no webhooks, and sales queries cap at 31 days.

Restaurant365 scores A+ on Supergood's API Report Card. Restaurant365 exposes a REST/JSON API plus an OData read connector, both publicly documented. Neither is self-serve: access starts with an email to support and customer sign-off. Auth is username/password bearer tokens, there are no webhooks, and sales queries cap at 31 days.
Restaurant365 has a workable official integration path. Most engineering teams can build against it directly. Open API: self-serve, documented, with SDKs
Restaurant365 (R365) is the restaurant-industry-vertical cloud ERP - a single platform that unifies accounting (GL, AP automation, bank reconciliation, fixed assets, budgeting, financial reporting), inventory and recipe management, purchasing and commissary operations, scheduling and labor/sales forecasting, payroll and HR (hiring, onboarding, tax filing, EWA), and an AI layer (R365 AI / R365 Intelligence) that sits across the full restaurant P&L.
Vertical: POS / Hospitality (restaurant-vertical ERP / back-office). Target market spans single-location independents up through 1,000+ unit enterprise chains and multi-brand franchise groups. Daily Sales Summary (DSS) auto-import from 70+ POS systems (Toast, Square, Aloha NCR, Micros/Oracle Simphony, Brink, Revel, Lightspeed, SpotOn, Qu, PAR, Clover, Shift4, etc.) into the GL with location, daypart, and menu-item level detail.
8/10 within restaurant back-office / vertical ERP.
Yes - Restaurant365 is the canonical financial and operational system of record at 40,000+ restaurant locations.
~14 years old, founded 2011 in Irvine, CA by Tony Smith and John Moody specifically to be a cloud, restaurant-vertical ERP.
API access requires emailing R365 Support and getting customer-side approval before credentials are issued - no self-serve developer portal. Authentication is username/password against an "API Managed User" with a bearer token - no OAuth 2.0, no scoped client credentials, no rotation tooling, creating credential-sprawl and rotation pain for partners.

Common alternatives include MarginEdge, Crunchtime, Compeat (now R365), Sage Intacct (with restaurant template), NetSuite (Oracle), QuickBooks Online / QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise. Graded alternatives appear under "More from the report card" below.
Supergood's grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? Supergood checks six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and rolls them into a letter grade. Supergood re-verifies grades, and they only move on evidence.
Restaurant365 has partial MCP support. Restaurant365 has no official MCP server. Community MCP servers on GitHub connect Claude to the R365 OData API for read-only sales, labor, P&L, and inventory queries, with documented setup but very limited adoption.
Partially. MCP support for Restaurant365 exists but is incomplete, so what MCP clients like Claude, Cursor, and Codex can reach depends on what the available server covers.
