Restaurant management platform CheddrSuite recently announced its integration with Sysco's Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) system.

The integration is aimed at providing restaurant operators with real-time pricing and improved cost control capabilities.

The integration allows CheddrSuite to automatically receive live Sysco pricing, saving restaurant operators from the laborious task of manual updates.

The platform's tools, which include plate costing, inventory tracking, ordering and financial forecasting, will now operate with enhanced accuracy due to the real-time data.

Restaurant operators are poised to benefit from several key enhancements due to the integration. Instant, accurate plate costing will now be possible, as menu prices will reflect the most current ingredient costs.

Reporting will be more up-to-date, allowing operators to immediately see the impact of cost changes on food cost percentages and profitability.

Inventory management will be streamlined, as the need for manual updates or reliance on spreadsheets is eliminated.

CheddrSuite founder Javier Cadena stated: "Margins are tighter than ever, and operators need tools that make cost control effortless.

"This integration ensures every CheddrSuite restaurant has live pricing for menu items — eliminating guesswork and driving profitability."

The EDI links Sysco with restaurant operators digitally. CheddrSuite works automatically ingesting current product pricing and availability to keep operators’ numbers current.

The platform, which simplifies back-office operations, also provides scheduling, communication, inventory, reporting and financial control tools.

In April 2025, Sysco disclosed third-quarter fiscal 2025 sales of $19.6bn, up 1.1% from $19.3bn in the same period of 2024.

However, gross profit fell 0.8% to $3.6bn and gross margin slipped 35 basis points to 18.3%.
