In the restaurant world, supplier bills and food cost records are deeply connected — yet they’re often managed separately. Invoices live in folders, spreadsheets list ingredient prices, and by the time finance teams piece it all together, the information is outdated.
The result? Hidden leakages, delayed insights, and confusion over true cost margins. But modern F&B operators are changing that by using automation to tie supplier bills and food cost data together from day one — seamlessly and accurately. Here’s how they do it with ccMonet.
In busy kitchens, supplier invoices arrive in every form imaginable — PDFs, paper slips, WhatsApp photos. Instead of chasing these documents later, staff can simply upload or snap them in real time.
ccMonet’s AI reads and records all key information instantly:
Each invoice becomes structured data within seconds — no manual entry, no backlog.
Once supplier bills are captured, the next step is linking them to the right cost categories — produce, meat, condiments, beverages, packaging, and more.
ccMonet automates this mapping using AI recognition and past patterns. It learns your supplier relationships over time, so invoices from “ABC Seafood” always go to “Seafood Cost,” and “XYZ Produce” maps to “Vegetables.”
This consistency ensures accurate food cost tracking, even when prices fluctuate or new staff join.
The real insight comes when purchase data connects to sales performance.
ccMonet’s AI Insights dashboard consolidates supplier spending with daily sales data, helping owners see:
Instead of waiting for end-of-month reports, these insights update continuously — allowing faster, smarter decisions.
No more digging through folders or WhatsApp chats to find a missing invoice. With ccMonet, every supplier bill is automatically stored, indexed, and linked to its transaction.
Owners and managers can search by supplier name, date, or item — instantly retrieving both the bill and its accounting record. This not only simplifies audits but also makes day-to-day management smoother.
When supplier bills and food costs are tied together, F&B businesses gain true financial visibility. They can see trends before they impact profitability — and respond faster to market changes.
With ccMonet, this process happens automatically: bills are captured, categorised, reconciled, and analysed — without adding admin hours or financial jargon.
Every invoice tells a story — ccMonet makes sure you hear it early.
Keep your supplier costs, margins, and financial data in sync, and focus your time where it matters most: growing your F&B business.
