R365 will make you do a 180 when you think about accounting
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
R365 has been a huge asset to our restaurant. It imports all bank activity so no transaction is ever lost and every penny is accounted for. Additionally, it integrates with our POS system so all of our sales and labor track. Creating or importing journal entries is easy. Balancing and month-end reconciliation takes just a few minutes instead of an hour + like before. We can run a P&L at any time and drill down to see exactly where the expenses are happening. It addresses the problem of use and waste. We know where every penny goes, and where all the product goes.
Pros
- Invoice tracking.
- Expense tracking.
- Sales tracking.
- Labor tracking.
Cons
- Credit cards and banks don't always connect, so sometimes you have to manually import transactions or reconnect the bank.
- When classifying transactions, the program can lag at times.
Likelihood to Recommend
I think any business that needs to track its expenses and create a P&L and balance sheet could benefit from this program. Once you get the training on it, it really makes the whole thing a breeze, saves you time, and creates beautiful reports. I don't know any business that wouldn't need it. Maybe if your business is selling one thing, maybe it won't be worth it for you. I think the sales would need to back up the subscription price, so I would weigh that into the equation. But there is nothing R365 doesn't do. It does inventory, it does waste tracking, it gets into the nitty gritty of business.
