Food supplier pricing fluctuates constantly. When vendors substitute items or increase prices per pound without notice, manual Accounts Payable (AP) processing rarely catches the discrepancy before invoices get paid. Resto Bird (@getrestobird) automates vendor invoice reconciliation to protect your profit margins.
The Hidden Cost of Unchecked Vendor Invoices
Restaurant kitchens receive dozens of vendor delivery invoices every week. When busy receiving staff sign paper invoices without auditing unit costs against negotiated contract rates, unauthorized price increases slip through unnoticed.
Vendor price hikes of 4% to 12% on key ingredients like cheese, poultry, and cooking oils.
Short-shipments where billed quantities exceed actual delivered weight.
Duplicate invoices submitted across different accounting periods.
Line-Item OCR Scanning & Purchase Order Matching
Resto Bird scans paper or PDF supplier invoices using intelligent line-item OCR. It compares delivered quantities and unit prices against original Purchase Orders, flagging price variances over 1% for manager review before payment approval.
