Compeat Alternative (2026): Compeat Is Now Restaurant365

The short answer: Compeat no longer exists as a standalone product — Restaurant365 acquired it in June 2021 and folded it into the R365 enterprise suite, which no longer publishes pricing (custom quote only, verified July 4, 2026). For single-location and small franchise operators who just need the floor covered — counting, invoice scanning, ordering, a daily cash close — OpsBrain is the $99/month lightweight replacement.

Compeat was absorbed into an enterprise suite. Single-location operators need something lighter.

What happened to Compeat? Restaurant365 acquired Compeat in 2021, and it's now part of R365's enterprise all-in-one platform — accounting, inventory, scheduling, and payroll, built for multi-unit groups with finance teams. R365 no longer publishes pricing (custom quote only, verified July 4, 2026); when it last published tiers (May 2026), they ran $435–$635/month per location. Many franchise operators only receive the reporting module, not the full operational suite.

Where Compeat went, and where OpsBrain fits

Compeat is now part of an enterprise platform. Here is what that means — and what a small operator actually needs.

Enterprise suite

What is Restaurant365?

Restaurant365 (R365) is an enterprise all-in-one restaurant platform — accounting, inventory, scheduling, and payroll in one suite. It acquired Compeat in June 2021, and Compeat's reporting is now part of R365. R365 no longer publishes pricing — it is custom-quoted through sales (verified July 4, 2026). When pricing was last published (May 2026), tiers ran $435/month (Essential) to $635/month (Professional) per location. R365 itself notes that single-location restaurants should look elsewhere; it is built for multi-unit groups with finance teams.

Floor operations layer

What is OpsBrain?

OpsBrain is an AI-powered mobile operations app for franchise restaurants, built by an active operator. It handles mobile inventory counting, weather-adjusted smart ordering, AI invoice scanning, Sysco shortage detection, and price-change monitoring — live, during the shift. It runs on any phone and starts at $99/month — a lightweight alternative for single and small operators.

The operator gap

If your franchise gives you R365-based reporting but no operational tool

Reporting tells you what happened last week. It does not run this shift.

Many franchise operators receive only the reporting module from an R365-based stack — PDF exports of sales, daypart, and theoretical food cost. Those reports are genuinely useful for review. But they are retroactive: they describe what already happened.

They do not count tonight's walk-in. They do not catch a Sysco shortage at the back door before the driver leaves. They do not adjust tomorrow's order for a heat wave. Those are live operational tasks — and a reporting export, by design, does not do them.

That is the operator-side gap. It is exactly what OpsBrain fills — mobile inventory counting, weather-adjusted ordering, AI invoice scanning, and Sysco shortage detection, on a phone, for $99/month. Keep your franchise's reporting; add the floor tool it does not include.

Restaurant365 is a capable platform — built for a different operator

None of this is a knock on Restaurant365. R365 is a genuinely capable enterprise platform. The honest picture is about fit, not quality: it is enterprise-priced (custom quotes; last-published tiers ran $435–$635/month per location, May 2026) and built for finance teams at multi-unit groups. R365 itself points single-location restaurants elsewhere.

If you run one location — or a handful — and you need a floor tool more than a finance suite, a lightweight operations app like OpsBrain at $99/month is the closer match. It is not trying to be your accounting system; it is trying to run your shift.

Compeat became reporting-only for many operators

After the 2021 acquisition, many franchise operators who had Compeat as a working back office now receive only the reporting layer through their franchisor — PDF reports instead of tools they can operate. If that's you, the practical question isn't "where did Compeat go," it's "what runs my floor now."

We wrote a field guide for exactly this: Compeat became reporting-only — what franchise operators should do next →. The short version: cover the floor (counting, invoice scanning, ordering) and the daily close (cash counts, tonight's net) first — that's OpsBrain Inventory and OpsBrain Cashflow — and let accounting stay wherever your accountant already works.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions

What operators ask after their franchise mentions Compeat or Restaurant365 — answered directly.

What happened to Compeat?
Restaurant365 acquired Compeat in June 2021. Compeat is now part of Restaurant365 (R365), an enterprise all-in-one platform covering accounting, inventory, scheduling, and payroll. The standalone Compeat brand has been folded into R365's suite. Many franchise operators today receive only the reporting module from an R365-based stack, not the full operational platform.
Is Compeat still available?
Not as a standalone product. Since the 2021 acquisition, Compeat's capabilities live inside Restaurant365. If your franchise references Compeat-based reporting, you are most likely using the reporting layer of an R365 stack. New buyers today purchase Restaurant365 directly rather than a separate Compeat product.
How much does Restaurant365 cost?
Restaurant365 no longer publishes pricing — it is custom-quoted through sales (verified July 2026). When last published (May 2026), tiers ran $435–$635/month per location depending on modules. It is priced and built for multi-unit groups with finance teams; R365 itself suggests single-location restaurants look elsewhere. For comparison, OpsBrain's founding tier is $99/month with no contract and public pricing.
What's a cheaper alternative to R365 for a single location?
For a single or small franchise operator who needs a floor tool rather than a full finance suite, OpsBrain is a lightweight alternative at $99/month. It covers mobile inventory counting, weather-adjusted ordering, AI invoice scanning, and Sysco shortage detection — the operational layer — and runs alongside whatever reporting your franchise already provides.
What is the best Compeat replacement for franchise operators?
It depends on what you lost. If your franchisor now handles accounting and you only receive reports, what you're missing is the operational layer: OpsBrain covers counting, AI invoice scanning, smart ordering, and a daily cash close at $99/month founding with public pricing and no contract. If you need full multi-entity accounting again, Restaurant365 is the enterprise path — custom-quoted through sales.
Does Restaurant365 still publish pricing?
No. As of July 2026, Restaurant365's pricing page offers a custom quote through sales rather than published tiers. When R365 last published pricing (May 2026), tiers ran $435–$635/month per location. OpsBrain's pricing is public: $99/month founding, $149/month standard, month-to-month.
