Inventory
More on the plate. Less in the trash.
Garde reads every invoice, handwritten and Chinese ones too, tracks every item from delivery to dish, and flags a price move or a waste spike the day it happens. You decide what to order.

Garde at work
Invoice in. Answers out.
A photo of an invoice is enough. Garde reads every line, checks it against what you paid last time, updates your food cost, and drafts the next order.

The screens
Every item. Every count. One view.
What you had, what you bought, what you used and what's left, for every item, with days of supply against par and Add to PO on every line.
Know the day a price moves.
Every line item against your history. When a vendor charges more, it shows up here with what it costs you each week.
What's included
Know where every food dollar goes.
01
Every invoice, read for you
Email, PDF or a phone photo. Garde reads each line, handwritten and Chinese invoices included, codes it to your books and catches duplicates. A person on our team checks it.
02
Vendor prices, watched
Each line item against what you paid before. When a vendor charges more, you hear about it that day, with the history in hand to negotiate.
03
Real food cost, as it happens
Theoretical against actual, updated as invoices come in, so variance shows up before the monthly P&L does.
04
Every location
Stock, food cost and vendor spend by store, side by side, with par levels set per site and suggested orders ready for your OK.

Jason got two hours of his week back.
“It's not that we didn't want to manage it. Managing it just cost way too much. Now we can do it for very little.”
Jason, GM of Nanshan Hotpot
