Share:

The Hidden Drain on Profits: In today’s competitive landscape, hotels, restaurants, cafés, QSRs, and even supermarkets face a common challenge, shrinking margins caused by rising costs. Inflation, supply chain disruptions, and inconsistent vendor pricing have left many operators struggling to maintain profitability.

The reality? Food cost leakages, over-portioning, and ineffective purchasing practices often go unnoticed until it is too late. Add to that wastage, poor inventory control, and lack of real-time reporting, and even high-revenue businesses find themselves under pressure.
