If your chefs are using IndiCater to manage recipes, stocktaking and/or ordering, you will benefit from a host of reports and efficiencies. Below are some of the key benefits
Purchasing data
By ordering and booking off (goods receipting) you will be able to see purchasing data based on spend and not just based on the invoices you have received.
Run an Outstanding Estimates report to see the value of outstanding accruals - invoices and credit notes
Have us develop a data export in your required format to help you quickly and easily import the invoice and credit note data from within IndiCater into your accounting application
We integrate with around 20 suppliers currently which means they will send us your invoices electronically. The invoices will match to the PO they relate to and if they match within a set tolerance, they will automatically convert the outstanding estimate into the invoice ready for export. If they differ by a great amount, they will require manual approval. This encourages chef to book off the order accurately to ensure invoices match the estimates where possible.
For those suppliers who are unable to integrate, we provide EDI Lite to let them enter your invoices into our system on your behalf, saving you the data entry task.
Run a product history report to see quantities bought and prices paid over your chosen period.
See all of the products in your approved buying lists in one place and compare products and prices across suppliers.
Add minimum order values and order cut off times to the set up to help chef when ordering
Give sites access to the suppliers you want them to have access to, eg hide a regional supplier from outlets where required
Collate supplier complaints in a central area
If we’re integrating with your EPOS, see the theoretical stock in hand at the point of ordering
Stock
Run a report to see stock values across the estate as well as the itemised data
Capture the movement of stock from one outlet to another to help provide accurate cost of goods data
