AI extraction accuracy
Best-in-class AI Invoice Parser for independent operators
Multi-page PDF ingest
Long Sysco or US Foods statements are split, parsed, and reconciled as one delivery — matching how operators actually receive product.
Ingredient matching
Fuzzy matching maps distributor codes to your internal ingredient IDs. Unmatched lines surface for one-click catalog creation.
Variance alerts
Set tolerance bands. When olive oil crosses +15% versus last invoice, flagged items appear before they silently erode margin.
Historical price index
Every accepted invoice builds a time series per SKU — useful for menu engineering and supplier negotiation.
Recipe ripple updates
A single invoice line can touch dozens of recipes. The engine propagates new unit costs without manual spreadsheet work.
Tenant-isolated storage
Invoices and extracted lines live in your isolated workspace — never commingled with other operators' data.
From raw inputs to actionable plate cost
PDF and camera capture for national distributors and local purveyors
Upload a PDF invoice or snap a photo of a paper delivery receipt.
Unit normalization (case, lb, oz, each) with pack-size awareness
OCR + document AI extracts SKU, description, quantity, unit, and extended price per line.
Highlight lines where unit cost moved more than your threshold
Lines are matched to your ingredient catalog with fuzzy SKU and description matching.
Audit trail of every price change tied to a source invoice
Confirmed changes update unit costs and trigger automatic recipe recalculation across the menu.
Invoices pile up unread. Cooking oil jumps 40%, chicken shifts pack size, and nobody updates the recipe database until food cost blows the monthly P&L. Manual entry is error-prone and always one week behind reality.
