BOULDER, Colo. – Wednesday, May 12, 2009 - Culinary Software Services, the leading provider of back-of-the-house technology for the foodservice industry, announces the availability of a seamless electronic data interchange (EDI) interface with US Foodservice, one of the largest food purveyor in the United States, as add-on functionality to the ChefTec® and CorTec® software. Culinary Software Services will be demonstrating the US Foodservice EDI functionality at the National Restaurant Association Show in Chicago, May 16 through May 19, booth #4252.

Previously, all US Foodservice ordering was completed through a separate online program or as a paper and pencil process. The US Foodservice EDI interface will now enable ChefTec and CorTec users to electronically place orders directly from ChefTec to US Foodservice. In addition, the interface will electronically confirm orders, and provide invoices, all without leaving the ChefTec or CorTec software program.

"The US Foodservice EDI interface functionality is a win-win situation for the foodservice industry," stated Brian Bennett, president of Culinary Software Services. "Not only does it save ChefTec users money, but it also reduces time spent on purchasing and ordering by up to five times. In today’s teetering economy, it is vital for foodservice operations to find ways to save time and money while reducing back-office processes."
