Stock

From invoice to plate.

Photograph the invoice. Flight reads it, matches it to your stock and recipes, and waits for your yes before a cost changes.

A member of staff checks stock on her phone in a storeroom.

Follow one price rise to the plate.

Approve a cost once. It flows into every recipe that uses it, and on to the dish you sell.

What it does

  • Reads supplier invoices from a photo or email, including catch-weight lines.
  • Links recipes to what you sell on the EPOS.
  • Re-costs every recipe the moment a cost is approved, and suggests a new price when a dish’s margin slips.
  • Count stock by saying it. You check each line before it saves.

Coming next, built but not yet switched on: stock deducted as each dish sells · live dish-level GP.

You approve

Every line, cost and price change needs a named yes.

Works with

  • Lightspeed
  • Xero-ready account coding
  • invoices by photo or email
