The Learning Supply Chain™

Cheetah’s commitment to helping restaurants succeed, in combination with our devotion to positively impacting our food supply chain and environment, is constantly driving us to seek new solutions to help restaurant owners streamline their supply chain and reduce food waste.

This is why we offer, and continue to develop, a proprietary data and applications platform and service, which combines a myriad of data inputs from multiple sources on both the buy side and the supply side, and leverages AI to help reduce food costs, spend less time on ordering, and critically minimize food waste. We call this platform and service The Learning Supply Chain™. It is the foundation of a new set of applications that Cheetah is offering its customers in the near-future, including automated ordering, food cost monitoring, menu planning tools, competitive market intelligence and more.
