Running a restaurant or café in Singapore’s fast-paced F&B scene means living with constant cost fluctuations. Supplier prices shift weekly, menu ingredients change seasonally, and profit margins hinge on how fast you can translate cost changes into menu decisions. Yet, most operators only discover cost issues at month-end—when the damage is already done.
Here’s how turning supplier bills into visible, actionable data helps F&B owners make smarter menu and pricing decisions in real time.
Every supplier invoice contains valuable insights: ingredient prices, volume trends, vendor reliability, and cost-per-dish impact.
The problem? Those insights are trapped in PDFs, photos, or WhatsApp messages.
By the time an accountant manually inputs them, the data is old news. That delay prevents you from noticing key signals—like seafood prices creeping up 10% or a supplier changing carton sizes.
With ccMonet, AI automatically reads and categorises every supplier bill as soon as it’s uploaded. Whether it’s a scanned invoice or a photo taken in the kitchen, the system extracts key data (items, costs, tax, and currency) and turns it into clean, searchable information.
Imagine you could open a dashboard and instantly see which ingredients are getting more expensive this week.
That’s exactly what AI-powered bookkeeping delivers.
ccMonet’s AI Bookkeeping identifies cost changes across recurring items—say, if cooking oil costs rise 8% or dairy prices dip. The system highlights these shifts automatically, allowing owners and chefs to decide whether to:
Instead of reacting to shrinking margins, you make proactive adjustments backed by live data.
Once cost data is accurate and timely, menu planning becomes smarter—not guesswork.
You can see how ingredient costs align with menu performance:
With ccMonet’s AI Insights, all this information sits in one visual dashboard, linking daily spending to menu profitability. That visibility helps chefs and managers make informed, coordinated decisions—not reactive price changes.
Restaurant staff are busy enough. They don’t need another report to fill out.
That’s why ccMonet makes cost tracking part of daily routines, not extra tasks. Staff can simply snap photos of invoices after delivery; the system does the rest. AI extracts the data, classifies it correctly, and updates your financial dashboard automatically.
Owners and managers get live visibility into food costs, while staff keep focusing on what they do best—running the service floor or kitchen.
In an industry where prices move faster than paperwork, visibility is everything.
By turning supplier bills into real-time cost insights, restaurants can protect margins, adjust menus with confidence, and strengthen supplier negotiations.
You already collect the data. Let AI make it useful.
