Most hospitality groups wait until the 10th of the next month to find out they lost money. If you’re using legacy systems or spreadsheets, you’re facing the Three Silent Killers. ### The "Locked Kitchen" Does your system force you to count one-at-a-time? That's a bottleneck. It turns a 2-hour job into an all-day ordeal. [Fix stocktakes](#) ![](/images/001-reality-check.avif) ### The "Static Price Trap" Are you valuing today's stock with last year's prices? If your system doesn't update inventory values with live invoice data, your P&L is a guess, not a fact. [Fix valuation](#) ![](/images/002-reality-check.avif) ### The "Manual Grind" Are your chefs wasting hours on data entry instead of cooking? Manual inventory processes don't just cost time, they kill morale and consistency. [Fix admin](#) ![](/images/003-reality-check.avif) **PurchasePlus changes the game.** We don’t just record your data, we optimize it. Core Value Proposition ## The PurchasePlus Advantage Three connected capabilities that don't just track inventory, they actively reduce food costs by **7–12%** within **90 days**. 01 ### Accurate, Finance-Grade Inventory Reporting Know exactly what you bought, what you used, what you transferred, and what it truly cost, without relying on spreadsheets. Stock reconciliation, valuation accuracy, and movement visibility matter far more than simply counting items. With PurchasePlus, you get audit-ready reporting that stands up at month-end and year-end. **The Result:** End-of-month confidence, backed by reconciliation reports your finance team can genuinely trust. 02 ### Inventory That Reflects Reality, Not Estimates Inventory values that move with real supplier pricing, not static assumptions. Weighted unit values automatically adjust as supplier prices change. Recipes and transfers reflect actual costs flowing directly from live invoices, not disconnected or outdated stock SKUs. **The Result:** Full transparency, with real costs driving decisions, not theoretical pricing. 03 ### Faster, Smarter Month-End Close Reduce month-end inventory stress from days to hours. Clear alignment between purchasing, stock movements, and usage eliminates manual adjustments and spreadsheet workarounds. Month-end becomes a validation point, not a firefight. **The Result:** Close the month in hours, with confidence, not days of reconciliation pressure. **Inventory, purchasing, and finance shouldn't live in separate systems.** PurchasePlus connects them so every decision is based on reality, not assumptions.

Multiple brands. ### Generic Inventory Items Generic inventory items allow you to create a single standardised inventory item that can automatically accept multiple brands and pack sizes without creating duplicates. For example, one "Milk" inventory item can seamlessly receive: * Milk – Brand A – 1 litre * Milk – Brand A – 2 litres * Milk – Brand B – 1 litre **The Result:** All variations are intelligently mapped to the same underlying inventory item with accurate weighted average cost and standardised unit of measure. ![Character 1](/images/001-pillars.avif) Don't just count. Buy it cheaper. ### The "Best Buy" Engine The Best Buy Engine automatically scans all your approved suppliers and highlights the lowest available price for the exact same product across your supply chain. For example, one "Chicken Breast" order can instantly compare: * Supplier A – $12.50/kg – current default * Supplier B – $10.80/kg – best price today * Supplier C – $11.20/kg – second cheapest **The Result:** An instant 7–12% reduction in purchasing costs without negotiating a single contract, achieved by comparing prices across your supplier network. ![Character 2](/images/002-pillars.avif) The holy grail of hospitality finance. ### Live GP% (Gross Profit) Tracking Live GP% tracking feeds actual approved invoice prices directly into your stock valuation in real time, so your margin reflects what you actually paid, not estimates. For example, one "Chicken Burger" dish can show in real time: * Actual food cost: 34% – real-time today * Approved invoice prices – live * Stock valuation – real time **The Result:** Know your exact gross profit percentage mid-month and act before issues impact your bottom line, using real-time actual costs from live invoices. ![Character 3](/images/003-pillars.avif) The "Finance-Grade" Math We don't just estimate. We calculate all inventory items in real time based on the weighted average cost (WAC): WAC \= Total Cost of Inventory on Hand + Cost of New Purchases Total Units on Hand \= $4.82 Audit-ready Spreadsheet-free Reality-based ## Ready to reclaim your margins?
