In multi-outlet F&B businesses, knowing whether each location is truly profitable often comes down to one deceptively simple question: how well are food costs tracked? Ingredient prices fluctuate daily, staff usage varies by shift, and vendor invoices arrive in different formats — making it nearly impossible to see cost patterns clearly without a system built for scale.
Here’s how successful F&B operators in Singapore keep food costs transparent across multiple outlets — and how ccMonet helps turn that into a simple, automated routine.
In multi-outlet operations, invoices often arrive at different times, through different channels, and in different formats. By the time they’re compiled, the opportunity to react to rising costs has already passed.
With ccMonet, outlet teams can simply snap or upload their supplier bills. The AI automatically extracts all key details — supplier, date, item, GST, and total — and uploads them into a single system. Whether it’s a handwritten wet-market receipt or a multi-page vendor statement, everything flows into one structured dashboard.
That means no more waiting for head office to “collect everything” before knowing where food costs stand.
A major blind spot for multi-outlet F&B businesses is the inability to compare like-for-like data across locations. One branch might be spending 20% more on the same ingredients without anyone noticing.
ccMonet solves this by automatically tagging expenses to the right outlet at upload. Owners can instantly compare ingredient costs, supplier pricing, and purchase frequency — and identify which outlets are maintaining healthy margins versus overspending.
It turns what used to be manual reporting into a live benchmarking tool.
When each outlet manages its own bank account or payment method, reconciling transactions becomes a headache. Missed or duplicated payments blur the real cost picture.
ccMonet’s AI Bank Reconciliation matches receipts, invoices, and bank transactions automatically. Every outlet’s payments are verified daily, ensuring numbers stay clean across locations. This creates a single, reliable financial view for the whole group — without chasing spreadsheets or WhatsApp screenshots.
Once data is captured consistently, cost tracking becomes powerful. ccMonet’s AI Insights dashboard shows each outlet’s cost-to-sales ratio, supplier breakdowns, and margin trends in real time.
This lets owners:
It’s the difference between reacting to last month’s reports and managing this week’s performance.
The best part about AI-powered cost tracking is that it scales naturally. New outlets simply join the same workflow — no need to retrain staff or reformat templates.
Every team member follows the same simple process: upload, verify, move on. The system handles categorisation and compliance, while ccMonet’s expert team reviews accuracy behind the scenes.
Multi-outlet F&B success depends on consistency — not just in recipes, but in numbers. With ccMonet, business owners finally get the full picture: live food costs, clean reconciliations, and outlet-level insights, all in one place.
Stop waiting for reports to tell you what’s already happened.
