Irvine, Calif. — Restaurant365, a leading AI-powered restaurant management platform, has partnered with Hungry Howie’s Pizza, which has selected Restaurant365 as its back-office operations platform across all franchise locations. The partnership will standardize inventory management, scheduling, labor management and operational reporting across the Hungry Howie’s system, while all new franchisees entering the brand will also adopt Restaurant365’s accounting platform.
By consolidating critical back-office functions into a single platform, Hungry Howie’s franchisees will gain real-time visibility into food costs, labor performance and store-level profitability while reducing manual processes and administrative complexity. Through Restaurant365’s connected platform and AI-powered intelligence capabilities, operators can make faster, more informed decisions that improve efficiency and profitability across the business.
Hungry Howie’s has nearly 500 locations across 18 states and has been serving guests for more than 50 years. The brand began implementing Restaurant365 in pilot stores in August 2025 before expanding the partnership systemwide as part of its broader strategy to modernize operations and better support franchise growth.
“At Hungry Howie’s, we’re committed to giving our franchisees the tools they need to run smarter, more profitable operations,” says Dan McKay, vice president of technology at Hungry Howie’s Pizza. “Restaurant365 gives our operators real-time visibility into inventory, labor and food costs on one platform built specifically for restaurants. Standardizing on R365 means our franchisees spend less time on back-office administration and more time focused on delivering a great guest experience.”
