USA | Hungry Howie's Pizza has partnered with Restaurant365 to integrate AI management throughout all its franchise locations.
Restaurant365, the AI-powered restaurant management platform, has announced that Hungry Howie’s Pizza has selected Restaurant365 as its back-office operations platform across all franchise locations. The partnership will standardise inventory management, scheduling, labour 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, labour 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, known for inventing Flavoured Crust pizza, 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 modernise 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,” said Dan McKay, Vice President of Technology at Hungry Howie’s Pizza.
“Restaurant365 gives our operators real-time visibility into inventory, labour, and food costs on one platform built specifically for restaurants. Standardising on R365 means our franchisees spend less time on back-office administration and more time focused on delivering a great guest experience. We also believe Restaurant365’s accounting platform will help create a more unified financial foundation for the brand through consistent reporting, streamlined AP automation, and multi-entity management that can scale alongside our continued growth.”
Hungry Howie’s joins a growing list of major restaurant brands that rely on Restaurant365 to simplify operations, improve visibility, and help franchisees operate more efficiently. Thousands of locations across leading brands like Jack in the Box, Burger King, Taco Bell, Dutch Bros, and others rely on Restaurant365 to centralise their financial and operational data on a single platform that offers actionable insights to measurably protect and grow profits.
“Hungry Howie’s is an iconic brand with a strong franchise community and a clear vision for the future,” said Tony Smith, Co-Founder and CEO of Restaurant365.
“The brands winning today are the ones giving operators faster access to the right data and the ability to act on it quickly. I’m excited for Hungry Howie’s franchisees to experience the power and visibility of operations and financials together in one platform, enabling them to control costs, improve execution, and make smarter decisions at every location.”
