RESTOAUDIT.AI · PRODUCT

Your food cost, watched in real time.

Supplier prices drift. Food costs creep. By the time your monthly accounting closes, the margin you thought you had is gone — and you don't know where. RestoAudit.ai monitors every invoice the moment it arrives, catches price drift automatically, and alerts you before it costs you the month.

Managed service available now · Self-serve MVP end of May 2026

You find out margin bled a month after it happened.

Food cost is the largest controllable expense in a restaurant — and the hardest to see in motion. Suppliers raise prices by 3% on a line item buried in a 40-position invoice. Nobody checks every line. A month later the accountant mentions food cost is up 1.2%. You don't know which supplier, which product, or when it started.

Most restaurants run food cost as a monthly calculation. Some run it weekly. Almost none run it continuously — because continuous calculation requires reading every invoice as it arrives, matching every line to the right dish, comparing every price to the last one paid, and flagging every drift before it calcifies into the new normal.

That's what Price Guard does. Continuously. Automatically. Every invoice, every supplier, every line item.

Four checks, running on every invoice.

The methodology refined across 100+ restaurants, delivered as an automated AI pipeline.

01
Line-level OCR + extraction
AI Vision reads each invoice as it arrives — WhatsApp photo, email PDF, or scan. Extracts every line: product, quantity, unit price, total, date. 15% confidence threshold triggers human review; the rest flows straight through.
02
Price drift detection
Every unit price is compared to the last one paid for the same product from the same supplier. Any drift above your tolerance (usually 2%) is flagged. No 'silent' price bumps. No drifting slowly into a new normal.
03
Cross-supplier check
For products bought from multiple suppliers, we compare prices across them. Supplier A raised your tomatoes 4%? Price Guard checks if supplier B is still at last month's rate — and surfaces the arbitrage.
04
Recipe impact projection
When a line price changes, Price Guard calculates what it does to your food cost at the dish level. Saffron up 8% isn't just 'spice cost increased' — it's your signature risotto now costs 40 cents more per plate. Alerted before you re-order.

Alerts where you'll actually see them.

We don't bury findings in a dashboard you'll check monthly. Price Guard delivers live.

Telegram bot
Instant alerts in a private Telegram channel. Manager sees price drift the day the invoice arrives. Owner sees weekly digest on Mondays. Chef sees dish-level alerts only for their station.

Clients running Price Guard sustain food cost within 1% of plan — instead of the typical 3–5% monthly variance.
24h
From invoice to alert
Average time from supplier sending invoice to operator receiving price-drift alert. Was 3–4 weeks (month-end accounting). Now next morning.
100%
Invoice coverage
Every incoming invoice enters the pipeline. No 'we only checked big ones' exceptions. Every line, every supplier, every time.

Managed now. Self-serve coming.

Today RestoAudit.ai is delivered as a managed service. We onboard your suppliers and historical invoices, tune the AI to your specific document types, set up your alert channels, and run the pipeline end-to-end. One analyst monitors ~20 restaurants at a time — the AI does the heavy lifting, the human handles edge cases.

Pricing: monthly retainer scaled to your invoice volume. Typical premium restaurant: mid-three-digit monthly fee, offset within weeks by recovered margin. Exact quote after walkthrough.

Self-serve MVP ships end of May 2026. Same engine, self-operated: you connect suppliers, set tolerances, receive alerts. Lower price point, designed for operators who want to run it themselves. Wait-list open now for launch priority.

Works alone. Works better in context.

RestoAudit is designed to run standalone — drop it into any restaurant with any POS. But it multiplies in value when combined with the rest of the ITHS stack.
