(MENAFN- Comserve) USA, Jun 12, 2023, 09:38 /Comserve / -- Good news for the catering industry! After Siri and Alexa, LINA is a new digital all-rounder that is primarily intended to make work easier for hosts. As a digital platform, LINA is more than just a further development of Amadeus360, the intelligent POS system from the Munich software developer Gastro-MIS.
The collaboration with CHEFS CULINAR has resulted in a software solution that covers more than any previous system on the market, from table reservations to checkout, personnel planning and recipe databases to ordering goods.
"The goal of our new all-in-one solution is to advance the digitization of the food industry," says Dr.
Mirco Till, Managing Director and LINA project manager at Gastro-MIS.
The new digital colleague is clever, empathetic, forward-looking and has a name: LINA.
As a new team member, LINA controls almost all digital processes to relieve cooks, restaurant managers and hosts: reservations, orders and cash register, kitchen control with recipe database, calculation and merchandise management as well as the back office with personnel administration and financial management.
LINA even takes over important parts of the purchase, in that everything you need, from avocados to zander fillets, can be ordered via the software.
Purchasing is particularly convenient via an intelligent interface to the ERP system of CHEFS CULINAR, Germany's market leader in the food service sector, which includes around 30,000 products.
In this database not only articles, container size and price are stored - but also nutritional values,
Even those who don't work with CHEFS CULINAR are well advised to use LINA.
Because the software can also transmit orders to any other supplier.
Through the use of artificial intelligence (AI), LINA will even be able to use the combination of sales forecast, recipe database and inventory to predict when the avocados will next be scarce and indicate when new orders should be made.
For LINA, the software pioneers from Gastro-MIS have optimized and expanded the basic functions of the Amadeus360 solution used in many thousands of restaurants - including through the use of artificial intelligence.
This enables better sales forecasts, for example.
“LINA is clever, innovative and makes just about everything easier.
We in the team are proud of LINA and are already looking forward to everything that will be possible through the combination of AI, robotics and food expertise," says Dr.
Mirco Till, Managing Director and LINA project manager at Gastro-MIS.
Right from the start, LINA includes 14 major modules: The LINA POS cash register system, LINA Pay as a self-payment solution at the table, LINA Order as a digital menu with ordering function, LINA Kitchen for kitchen control, LINA Stock for cost of goods and recipes, LINA Team for personnel administration, LINA Finance as an automatic cash book, LINA Analytics for evaluations and much more.
Further modules are already in development.
Thanks to a large network of interface partners, LINA also covers many other functions - there is even an AI telephone assistant with natural conversation for taking orders.
"All in all, LINA makes all operational processes easier, more efficient, more sustainable and therefore more future-proof," says Carsten Ripkens, Managing Director of CHEFS CULINAR Software & Consulting, who has been a strategic partner of LINA developer Gastro-MIS since last year.
As the most comprehensive software solution on the market, LINA has a modular structure and a hybrid design.
This means: cash register and kitchen work even if the internet fails.
However, if you are a restaurateur and want to use your cell phone to check what is going on in the business, you can simply access the data from the secure cloud.
"We're happy to explain to our customers on site exactly how it works," says Dr.
untill
"Because LINA is not just an all-in-one software, but a complete solution: hardware, software, advice and personal support, everything is included!"
With LINA, Gastro-MIS and CHEFS CULINAR have created something like the standard operating system for gastro drives.
"We want to be the market leader," says Carsten Ripkens.
"For family businesses and franchise concepts, for star restaurants and system caterers, for chains and company restaurants." This is possible because LINA also integrates existing systems.
Whether it is an established reservation system or the PMS of a hotel, everything is possible for LINA.
The background to this is that LINA's development focused primarily on what customers want.
"Good software adapts to the user - not the other way around," says Dr.

“So if you have a question or challenge in the future, just ask LINA.
She knows what's going on, answers authentically, quickly and clearly.
Nobody in LINA's team will have to master complex analyzes anymore.
LINA knows the challenges in gastronomy because through CHEFS CULINAR and Gastro-MIS she has access to 100 years of food expertise as well as 25 years of expertise in accounting and business calculations as well as 15 years of technological experience.
Thanks to the large partner network, she also constantly receives the latest impulses from the industry.
