Keeping Supplier Bills, Sales, and Food Costs in One Story

Every F&B business runs on three moving parts: supplier bills, daily sales, and food costs. When those three don’t align, margins start to blur — even when the restaurant looks busy. The best-performing operators know that profit isn’t found in spreadsheets or audits; it’s built in the daily connection between what’s bought, what’s sold, and what’s actually used.

That’s the story your numbers should tell — and it’s exactly what ccMonet helps make visible.

1. Supplier Bills: The Start of the Story

Every plate begins with a purchase. But in a fast-moving kitchen, supplier invoices often arrive in mixed formats — paper slips, WhatsApp images, or email attachments — and get logged late, if at all.

With ccMonet, your team can upload every bill instantly. The AI reads each document (even handwritten or multi-language ones), tags it by category — ingredients, condiments, beverages, packaging — and syncs it automatically to your books.

The result: a living record of your cost base that updates the moment you receive stock, not weeks later.

2. Sales: The Pulse of Daily Operations

Most restaurants see sales numbers daily, but rarely in context. POS systems show revenue, not whether it’s profitable.

ccMonet connects sales data with expense records, letting you view both sides of the equation in real time. You can see, for example:

• How today’s F&B sales stack against ingredient purchases this week
• Whether a surge in delivery sales actually translates to better margins
• Which outlets maintain cost discipline versus overspending on supplies

Instead of isolated reports, you get one narrative that links spending to sales performance.

3. Food Costs: The Middle That Often Gets Lost

Food cost variance is where many restaurants lose track of profitability.
When purchases, waste, and usage aren’t aligned, the difference between expected and actual costs widens quietly.

ccMonet’s AI Insights highlights cost drift automatically — flagging when a category, supplier, or outlet starts deviating from baseline. You’ll know early if ingredient prices rise, or if consumption patterns hint at waste or overportioning.

4. One Story, Three Sources — All Synced Automatically

Manually merging supplier bills, sales data, and cost tracking is tedious and error-prone. AI bookkeeping replaces that effort with automation:

• AI Bookkeeping records and categorises every supplier invoice.
• AI Bank Reconciliation ensures payments match actual bills.
• AI Insights visualises daily cost-to-revenue ratios, so trends appear early.

This creates a single, connected story — not three disconnected spreadsheets.

5. The Payoff: Honest Margins, Every Day

When supplier costs, daily sales, and food usage speak the same language, owners don’t need to wait for reports to know where they stand. Every day’s close gives a clear picture of what’s earned, what’s spent, and what’s left.

With ccMonet, that clarity becomes automatic — no manual matching, no guesswork, no lag. Just one continuous story that keeps your margins real.
