Our verdict on Resort Restaurant
Resort Restaurant is Windows-based software for restaurant chefs and managers who need to connect recipe costing with menu decisions, stock control and event pricing. It calculates production costs, retail prices, food-cost percentages, markups, gross profit and profitability targets for recipes, menus and events. Its scope fits single-site, single-sales-outlet operations, with tools for menu engineering, banquet costing, stocktake, purchasing, allergens, reporting and data exchange.
The standard Resort Restaurant plan costs $350 as a one-time licence and includes recipe and menu costing, menu engineering, function and banquet costing, and stock management. A 30-day trial is available. Separate Educational and Student plans cost $55 per licence per year, with the Educational plan providing an educational licence and the Student plan providing a student lease. Both annual lease plans include technical support and program upgrades during the lease. These options give educational users a lower-cost route while keeping the main product positioned as a paid desktop licence.
Its standout strength is breadth within restaurant profitability workflows. Menu engineering offers tabular and graphical sales-performance analysis, while recipe tools support scaling and nested sub-recipes. Function and banquet costing calculates total and per-cover costs and prices, and stock, invoice and cost-of-goods-sold reporting extends the product beyond menu analysis. Allergen tracking, import and export wizards, multi-user operation and record locking add operational coverage. Choose Resort Restaurant if a Windows-based, single-location operation needs connected costing, menu, banquet and stock workflows. Choose another product if multi-location deployment or broader platform support is essential.
