Supplier tracking

Supplier price tracking for faster margin decisions

Catch quiet invoice changes and connect them to the dishes, products, and prep recipes they affect.

Owners do not need more dashboards. They need a clean answer when a supplier move starts eating the menu.

Store price history with source, pack size, and date.

Compare new invoice lines against recent history before approval.

Translate supplier movement into menu impact, not just admin noise.

Example

Example: chicken thighs rise 8% on a new invoice. Before approval, Karu ranks which menu items, prep batches, and combos inherit the move so you update prices or portions where it actually hurts.

Checklist

Upload the latest supplier invoice into the inbox.

Compare pack size and unit before trusting the line total.

Approve only after checking the affected recipes.

Act on the top exposed products the same day.

Karu

Messy data first, margin decisions second.

Karu uses invoices, recipes, menus, and existing sheets to create human-reviewed drafts before anything touches official business truth.
