Viewing Restaurantology insights on Accounts

Custom fields
Restaurantology adds custom fields to Account records via the managed package. These fields include:

Related RestaurantologyLogs
RestaurantologyLogs are related to Account records and provide both the most recent and historical insights. These logs include firmographic, technographic, territory, and lifecycle data. While not included by default in Salesforce page layouts, admins can add a component for these related records. We often recommend placing them within a dedicated sub-tab on the Account layout for easy access.

Use RestaurantologyLogs to:

  • Understand industry trends
  • Review historical detections
  • Reference account growth or technology adoption

Visualforce component
The Restaurantology Visualforce widget can be added to Account layouts by an admin. This component displays high-level details such as:

The widget gives users a quick overview without navigating away from the Account record.
