Restaurants and hospitality brands have discovered that eCommerce isn’t just for product companies—it can extend the business far beyond the dining room.
From branded merchandise and gift cards to exclusive experiences and meal kits, the opportunity is larger—and more strategic—than most operators realize.
For restaurant groups already running NetSuite, the path to eCommerce is shorter than you think. It can streamline inventory, accounting, and cost control while opening new revenue streams.
In this guide, we explore how hospitality businesses are using NetSuite eCommerce to grow revenue, strengthen brand loyalty, and improve operational efficiency.
Best-fit models for your business
Service, experience, and profitability
Restaurant brands with strong followings—from fast-casual to fine dining—are building merchandise stores that extend their brand into customers’ everyday lives.
T-shirts, hats, glassware, aprons, cookbooks, and sauces turn loyal diners into brand ambassadors while increasing customer lifetime value.
With NetSuite managing inventory, fulfillment, accounting, and reporting—and SuiteCommerce or BigCommerce handling the storefront—you can launch and scale without a dedicated eCommerce team.
This centralized approach keeps operations efficient and costs predictable.
Cash flow, service, and customer acquisition
Gift cards are one of the highest-margin products a restaurant can offer. They drive traffic, attract new customers, and generate upfront cash.
NetSuite’s integrated gift card management allows you to sell both digital and physical cards online with:
The same infrastructure supports bookings for dining experiences, events, or classes—improving both customer experience and operational efficiency.
Inventory, margins, and scalability
Consumers are willing to pay a premium for restaurant-quality food at home—and many brands are capitalizing on it.
Signature sauces, spice blends, baking mixes, and specialty ingredients create new revenue streams with strong margin visibility.
NetSuite supports:
This gives finance teams better control over costs and profitability.
Purchasing control and operational efficiency
Managing supplies across multiple locations can be complex and costly.
A B2B ordering portal powered by NetSuite allows location managers to purchase from approved catalogs with:
This improves cost control while maintaining flexibility for each location.

Why multi-channel engagement matters
Customers who interact with a brand across multiple channels—dining, online ordering, merchandise, and email—have 3–5x higher lifetime value.
An eCommerce store is not just a revenue channel—it’s a continuous brand touchpoint.
With Klaviyo integrated into NetSuite, you can automate personalized communication such as:
This improves customer experience while increasing retention and revenue.
