Approving invoices and exporting data shouldn’t slow your business down — but in many hospitality operations, it does.

Invoices pile up waiting for signatures, emails get buried, and accounting teams lose time chasing paperwork. By the time data reaches your system, it’s outdated or incomplete.

Streamlining approvals and exports through automation turns a slow, manual process into a fast, accurate workflow that keeps your operation moving.

The Cost of Manual Approvals

Manual approval processes lead to:

  • Delays: Invoices sit in inboxes or on desks.

  • Errors: Approvals happen without full visibility into pricing or totals.

  • Bottlenecks: Managers can’t approve from anywhere, creating downtime.

  • Poor oversight: Accounting has no clear view of what’s pending or approved.

Every delay in approval slows down payment, reporting, and purchasing — directly impacting cash flow.

How Automated Approvals Work

Automation routes invoices directly to the right decision-maker. No paper, no email chains.

A streamlined approval process:

  1. Captures invoices automatically through OCR or uploads.

  2. Flags discrepancies before approval.

  3. Routes to the right person based on department or amount.

  4. Tracks status in real time so accounting always knows what’s pending.

This keeps everyone aligned — from kitchen managers to finance — without manual back-and-forth.

Why Streamlined Exports Matter

Once invoices are approved, exporting them cleanly to accounting software like QuickBooks, Sage, M3, or Jonas is critical.

Automated exports ensure:

  • No duplicate entries or missing invoices

  • Instant updates in accounting ledgers

  • Accurate, line-item-level data that improves cost tracking and reporting

When approvals and exports are connected, operators gain end-to-end visibility — from invoice to accounting.
