Your Margins Depend on This

If you’re still running food purchasing through phone calls, spreadsheets, or manual invoice entry, you’re already behind.

Rising food costs, labor shortages, and vendor price volatility make it harder than ever to keep your restaurant or country club profitable. The good news? Operators who adopt modern purchasing and inventory software gain visibility, consistency, and savings that manual processes simply can’t deliver.

In this guide, we’ll explore how NxtEdge helps chefs and owners simplify vendor management, cut food costs, and run operations with confidence.

Control Vendor Prices Before You Place an Order

Restaurant Vendor Price Comparison Software

Food costs can fluctuate daily — sometimes by 10–20% on identical products. If you’re not comparing pricing
before every order, you’re almost certainly overpaying.

NxtEdge automatically pulls vendor order guides and invoices, allowing you to compare side by side — by pack size, brand, and spec — without wasting time calling or emailing multiple sales reps.

Industry Insight:

72% of operators don’t consistently compare vendor prices.
Independent operators using price comparison save an average of 8–12% on core ingredients.

Takeaway: With NxtEdge, every order is your best order.

Eliminate Manual Entry with Invoice Automation

Restaurant Invoice Processing Software

Manually typing invoices into QuickBooks, Sage, or spreadsheets isn’t just tedious — it’s risky. Every keystroke
is an opportunity to miss a price increase or record the wrong quantity.

NxtEdge uses OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to scan emailed or uploaded
invoices, extract line-item data, and automatically flag substitutions, price increases, or shorted items.

The Data Says:

Manual entry consumes 5–7 hours of labor per week per location.
The average invoice has 10–15 line items that must be verified.
NxtEdge invoice automation achieves 95%+ accuracy with human oversight on exceptions.

Takeaway: Less typing, fewer errors, and faster insights — that’s the power of automated invoices with NxtEdge.

Real-Time Purchasing Insights

Restaurant Purchasing Software That Works for You

Disconnected systems and delayed reporting leave operators flying blind. NxtEdge centralizes all vendor pricing, orders, and invoices into one platform — giving you real-time visibility into your purchasing across categories and locations.

With NxtEdge reporting, you’ll see:

Spend by vendor and category
Price changes in real time
True cost of goods sold (COGS)

Takeaway: When you see your numbers clearly, you control your margins confidently.

Integrate Purchasing with Your Accounting

End-to-End Accounting Integration for Restaurants and Clubs

Disconnected systems create inefficiencies and late financial reporting. NxtEdge integrates your
purchasing and invoices directly with accounting platforms like QuickBooks Online, Sage, M3,
Jonas, and Club Essentials — eliminating duplicate entry and accelerating your month-end close.
