P.F. Chang's Extends Partnership with ArrowStream for Enhanced Inventory Management
P.F. Chang’s has renewed its partnership with supply chain software provider ArrowStream to enhance inventory and purchasing operations, according to a press release dated September 17, 2026. The collaboration began in 2019 and includes the use of contract management, price audit, and inventory platforms that help centralize agreements, reduce stockouts, automate billing reconciliation, and maintain real-time visibility into product availability. The restaurant chain aims to improve supply chain resilience amid rising food costs by leveraging ArrowStream’s tools for better transparency. P.F. Chang's senior director of supply chain emphasized the importance of data-backed decisions in safeguarding margins and operational efficiency. Other restaurants like Panda Express are also adopting similar technologies, including AI-driven solutions, while Starbucks is piloting new models after discontinuing an unreliable inventory tool.
