Restaurant groups scale through repeatability, but the operating model is rarely simple. Direct stores, franchisees, joint ventures, central kitchens, local suppliers, POS, delivery channels, revenue sharing, and country-specific tax rules all create different financial and supply-chain requirements. Hitpoint designs NetSuite around that full chain.
Use an elevated operations image: central kitchen, premium store operations, food supply chain, or restaurant management—not a generic dining photo.

Where complexity shows up
Multiple store models
Direct, franchise, and joint-operation models create different contracts, revenue flows, receivables, inventory ownership, and reporting.
Demand reaches the kitchen
Store demand, replenishment, procurement, production, and central-kitchen capacity have to translate into executable supply plans.
Many specialist systems
POS, e-signature, payment, SRM, WMS, MES, delivery, tax, and local store systems must connect without breaking group finance.
What the operating model needs
Store lifecycle
Support planning, development, opening, daily operations, purchasing, inventory, and store-level financial visibility.
Franchise lifecycle
Connect contracts, e-signatures, franchise fees, revenue sharing, store ordering, online payment, taxes, and receivables.
POS & revenue integration
Integrate local and global POS models while preserving controlled revenue, settlement, and store accounting.
Global supply planning
Coordinate global sourcing, supply centers, store ordering, replenishment, and local central-kitchen MRP.
Central kitchen & quality
Connect production, MES, recipe/BOM logic, costing, lots, expiry, and traceability for materials and finished goods.
Group finance & localization
Automate intercompany activity, group reporting, and local fiscal/tax requirements as the restaurant footprint expands.
Where Hitpoint adds value
Hitpoint approaches restaurant ERP as one operating chain—from store/franchise economics through supply, central kitchen, traceability, and group finance. That perspective is especially useful for brands entering China, Chinese/Asian brands expanding abroad, and groups that need one NetSuite core across very different local store ecosystems.
What better looks like
- More transparent store and franchise economics across business models.
- Supply and central-kitchen planning linked more closely to actual demand.
- Cleaner integration between POS/operations and group finance.
- A repeatable global model with controlled local tax and operating differences.
