Can I use RC Restaurants software for multiple locations?

Yes. The Pro plan supports up to 6 locations with cross-location reporting on labor cost, compliance rates, and guest metrics.

Do I need to sign a contract?

No. All plans are month-to-month. Cancel anytime with no setup fees or per-location charges.

What is included in the free plan?

Unlimited access to all blog articles and guides, 5 downloadable printable templates, and our weekly operator newsletter. No credit card required.

How is RC Restaurants different from Toast, 7shifts, or MarginEdge?

Those tools cost $200-$500+ per month per location. RC Restaurants is built for 1-6 location independent operators who want core food cost, scheduling, compliance, and marketing functionality without the enterprise price tag.
