If you rely on MarketMan for restaurant management, you might find it lacking in beverage management tools. WISK stands out by combining food and beverage management into one comprehensive platform. With WISK, enjoy a simplified and organized approach to your inventory.
Managing Item Variations When Sourcing from Multiple Suppliers

Gain Access to an Extensive Ingredient and Bottle Resource Database
MarketMan offers a large ingredient database, but WISK takes it to the next level with an extensive inventory solution.

With our unique blend of human expertise and technology, you can trust WISK to keep your inventory organized and accurate.
POS Integration twice larger than Marketman
MarketMan features 30 POS integrations, which might feel restrictive for your needs.
