Is Loaded actually different to Restoke?
Restoke and Loaded solve different problems. Before you consider switching it's worth considering whether these things are important to you.
We run venues
Loaded was built by a hospitality group that still operates 12 venues today. We build for the real problems hospitality teams deal with because we deal with them too.
More than just the kitchen
Your venue doesn’t run like one big kitchen. Loaded is built around how front of house, back of house and management actually work, with the tools specifically designed for each part the business needs.
One back office for the whole business
Sales, stock, workforce and labour performance all affect each other. Loaded brings them together, so you’re not trying to run one business through a collection of disconnected stock and time and attendance systems.
Why customers tell us they switch?
Customers who switch to Loaded tell us the biggest difference is how much easier the day-to-day becomes for their team. Here's the six things we hear from them.
Manage beverage stock without recipes
In Restoke, every drink you sell needs to become a recipe, even a glass of wine or pint of beer. Loaded lets you simply sell a portion of the item, like 150ml of wine or 500ml of beer.
Substitute stock items right from an invoice
In Loaded you create a stock variant as the invoice arrives, link it to the master item once, and our AI remembers that for next time.
Stock and labour managed together
Loaded brings stock, labour, sales and profitability into the same platform, so you can see how your venue is really performing without stitching together another system or spreadsheet.
AI predicted ordering
Loaded connects to all of your key hospo info to predict what you’ll actually need to order. Less guesswork, less excess stock and far less chance of running short.
A team that only speaks hospo
With more than 130 years combined hospo ownership and management we understand how stock, rostering, service and margins work in the real world.
Assigned onboarding team
Getting your stock system set up properly is key, so we don’t expect you to figure it out alone. Every Loaded onboarding is with our team, and we can build your stock item list within 24 hours of receiving your last 90 days of invoices.

Frequently asked questions
Does Loaded actually replace Restoke, or would I need both?
Yes. Loaded includes recipe and menu costing as part of the platform, alongside stock, labour and revenue - so you don't need to run a separate kitchen-costing tool alongside it.
Can I bring my existing recipes and stock data over from Restoke?
Yes. You're assigned a dedicated onboarding manager who migrates your existing recipes and stock data over to Loaded for you, and makes sure everything is set up accurately so you're seeing real margin improvements from the start.
What is hospitality back office software?
It's the system the largest, most successful large hospitality groups globally have relied on to manage revenue, labour, cost of goods and profitability — traditionally out of reach for smaller groups and operators. That's changed. You no longer need to run your back-of-house across a multitude of different software tools and spreadsheets; Loaded brings it all into one platform.
What types of hospitality businesses use Loaded?
Loaded is used globally by Cafes, bars, restaurants, pubs and clubs from small independent venues through to large 50 site + operators.
How does Loaded help reduce food and beverage costs?
Loaded helps hospitality businesses increase revenue, reduce labour cost and reduce cost of goods to take control of and drive overall profitability. Recipes are connected in real time to your POS and your suppliers latest invoice prices. Real-time labour insights allow your team to make real time decisions instead of finding out in your P&L weeks later. On average overall labour and COGS margins are improved by 8%.
Does Loaded work with my existing POS system?
Loaded integrates with major hospitality POS systems including Square, Lightspeed, Tevalis, Bepoz, Swiftpos, Idealpos, Impos, Ordermate, AI Menu, Dnero, Wizbang and Tabin.
How long does it take to set Loaded up?
Loaded's onboarding team handles the initial setup for you, and most businesses are live within a few days. Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial, no credit card required.
