Who it is for
Restaurant chains
One item master for all locations, with supplier data, recipes and stock kept in sync; the vendor cites L'Osteria running more than 200 restaurants on it.
Hotel groups
Positioned for hotel groups; the vendor names a&o Hostels with 50+ sites across Europe.
Contract and event caterers
A catering module plans catering projects and tracks cost of goods and food waste; an event caterer is quoted as a customer.
Less suited to: Very small operators: the vendor says the system pays off from a single site with roughly €1 million in annual revenue.
What it does
Supplier ordering (Procurement)
Order from connected suppliers and wholesalers at agreed prices, with order history per employee and reordering from past orders.

Pulls prices, allergens, nutritional values and pack sizes directly from connected suppliers; the vendor says more than 1,000 suppliers have data in the system.
Recipe management
Recipes with photos, preparation steps, production losses, translations and automatic allergen and additive labelling from ingredient data.
Food costing
Live cost of goods per dish, with thresholds that trigger alerts and a chart of target versus actual COGS.
Inventory and stock management (ERP module)
Cost centres, product groups, transfers between locations, low-stock alerts, auto-refill and selective stock counts.
Smart Lists
Order lists that organise purchases in one place regardless of supplier.
Demand forecast and order suggestions
Forecasts quantities sold per site from sales, weekday, season, holidays, weather and events, and pre-fills a basket that the user confirms.
Invoice and delivery note scanning
Reads photographed documents, proposes the goods receipt and flags differences against the order and catalogue price.
MCP server for AI assistants
Lets a user connect an AI assistant such as Claude or ChatGPT to query their FoodNotify data in plain language, read-only.
Catering module
Plans catering projects and tracks cost of goods and food waste.
Analytics dashboards
Interactive per-location dashboards on order volume per supplier, sales, location comparison and cost of goods, with predictive analytics.
