Why Automate Inventory Management?

Running a restaurant is chaotic. Between managing staff, vendors, guests, and the back office, there’s barely time to breathe—let alone dig through spreadsheets or fix invoice errors. Automation takes the pressure off by:

  • Reducing manual data entry
  • Preventing costly mistakes
  • Giving you real-time insights
  • Freeing up your team to focus on service

Most importantly, automation gives you peace of mind that your numbers are right—without having to triple-check them every week.

What Does Automation Look Like with NxtEdge?

NxtEdge is built to bring every part of your inventory process into a streamlined, automated workflow. Here’s how it works:

Automated Invoice Capture

You can submit invoices via email, batch upload, or directly from your mobile device. NxtEdge uses OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology to read every line of your invoice—including pack size, catch weight, and unit cost. No more manual entry, no more typos.

Real-Time Processing

As invoices are received, they’re processed in real time. That means your food cost, usage, and inventory data is always up to date—giving you instant visibility into your operation.

Accounting Integration

Once approved, invoices flow directly into your accounting system. Whether you use QuickBooks, Restaurant365, or another platform, NxtEdge integrates seamlessly to keep your books clean and current.

Mobile Inventory Counts

Use a tablet or smartphone to perform inventory counts on the go. The counts sync with your system automatically, helping you track usage and flag issues before they become expensive problems.

Discrepancy Reporting

Our system compares your purchase orders to invoices and flags differences in product, quantity, or price. You’ll know instantly if a substitution or error occurred—no more digging through paper trails.

Save Hours Every Week

Most restaurants using NxtEdge save between 6–10 hours per week by automating their inventory and invoice workflows. That’s time you get back to train staff, improve service, and grow your business.

More importantly, automation gives you confidence in your data—so you can make better decisions faster.

Designed for Busy Operators

NxtEdge was built by hospitality pros who understand what it’s like to run a restaurant. We know you don’t have time to learn complicated software or spend hours on setup. That’s why our platform is:

  • Easy to use
  • Fast to implement
  • Supported by a team that gets it

From the first invoice to the final report, NxtEdge takes the headache out of inventory management.
