Product availability

Concept stage. Implemented functionality, pricing and release timing are not confirmed.

Concept screens contain sample data. A price difference is not automatically an overcharge; a requested credit is not a recovered credit. Invoice purchases alone do not establish food cost.

Who it serves

Multi-location purchasing teams

How it works

Review invoices against their sources and normalize pack sizes before comparing prices.

A closer look

  • Planned batch intake
  • Planned source review
  • Planned unit normalization
  • Planned store comparison
  • Planned credit tracking
  • Planned role controls

What sets it apart

The concept combines original invoice evidence, comparable unit costs and credit follow-up across locations. The source record remains visible when a comparison is reviewed.

Safeguards and limits

Verify extracted quantities and units. A price variance is not proof of overbilling, and requested credits are not recovered funds.
