Who it is for

  • Restaurants and multi-unit groups watching food cost

    Links purchasing, invoices, counts and recipe costing so food cost can be seen by location.

  • Country clubs, hotels and resorts

    The site has dedicated pages for clubs and hotels, and integrates with club and hotel accounting systems such as Jonas Club Software and M3 Accounting Core.

  • Operators drowning in manual invoice entry

    Invoices arrive by email, EDI, mobile scan or upload and are read, coded and routed for approval.

What it does

  • Vendor price comparison

    Lines up distributor prices side by side, normalising pack sizes and units, so buyers can pick the lowest-cost option before ordering.

  • Purchasing and order guides

    Order guides, par-based ordering, budget and spend controls, and purchase orders sent to vendors.

  • Invoice automation

    Captures invoices by email, EDI, fintech feeds, mobile scan or upload, reads line items with OCR plus human validation, and codes them automatically.

  • Multi-level invoice approval

    Routes invoices to approvers with role-based routing, spending limits, reminders and an audit trail.

  • Bill pay

    Sends approved invoices for payment by ACH, virtual card or check and syncs payment status back; the page says RePay processes the payments.

  • Accounting export

    Exports approved, coded invoices to the accounting system by API, imported file, FTP or emailed export, with GL, department and location coding.

  • Mobile inventory counting

    Counts by phone, tablet or desktop, including offline, with variance review and consolidation of counts from several people.

  • Live food cost and COGS reporting

    Shows food cost percentage, usage, variance and inventory valuation across locations.

  • Recipe costing and menu engineering

    Builds recipes, sub-recipes and batches whose costs update from invoices, and analyses menu profitability.

  • POS sales import and theoretical usage

    Imports daily menu mix from the POS, links items to recipes, depletes inventory and compares actual with theoretical cost.

  • Transfers and requisitions

    Requests, approves and tracks inventory moving between locations, departments, warehouses and commissaries.

  • Rebate management

    Tracks and reconciles manufacturer and distributor rebates by matching purchases to programmes.
