RestaurantOpsAppThe invoice lands.
Every plate re-costs.
Photograph a vendor invoice. We read it, show you what we read, and update the cost and margin of every dish that uses those ingredients. You see the number that matters before the next service.

Reads the photo
Drop in a phone picture of a vendor invoice. Every line comes back matched to your ingredient list, with how sure it is.
Shows its work
A pack size that disagrees with your records stops the approval until you pick. Nothing is quietly overwritten.
Costs every plate
Approve the invoice and each recipe that uses those items re-costs on the spot, with the margin next to the menu price.
Knows what it does not know
A missing price stays blank. It is never counted as zero, so a plate cost is never quietly too low.
See it work, start to finish.
From an invoice photo to a finished plate cost, in under a minute. Screen recording of the real app.
