Custom KDS routing for seafood boil modifications. One-click menu sync across 19 locations. Market-price items that update daily. Weight-based pricing for fish by the pound. All in one platform — trusted by Crafty Crab Seafood across 152 terminals.
Seafood restaurants deal with daily price fluctuations, complex boil customizations, and multi-location consistency that generic POS systems cannot handle.
A seafood boil order: 1 lb snow crab, 1/2 lb shrimp, corn, potatoes, sausage, extra garlic butter, Cajun level 3/5, extra Old Bay. Each component has weight, sauce, spice level, and add-ons. Most POS systems cannot handle this — servers type into notes, kitchen misreads them, and customers get the wrong boil. Remakes are expensive with seafood prices.
Lobster was $14.99/lb yesterday and $16.99/lb today. Snow crab fluctuates weekly. Your POS needs market-price items that update quickly from one dashboard that pushes to all locations. Manually updating at each terminal across multiple stores is a recipe for pricing errors.
When you run 5, 10, or 19 seafood locations, keeping menus consistent is massive. A new seasonal item at every store. Price changes everywhere. A discontinued sauce removed from all locations. Without centralized management, each location drifts and the brand becomes inconsistent.
Selling fish by the pound, oysters by the dozen, and crab legs by weight requires scale integration and variable pricing. Most POS systems are designed for fixed-price items. Ringing up 2.3 lbs of snow crab at market price should not be awkward.
