Restaurants & cafés: purchasing

Restaurant purchasing: order, receive, match, then pay

TajerGo links each purchase from order to invoice: a branch purchase order, a goods received note for what actually arrived, and the supplier bill in a review queue. A three-way match compares order, delivery and invoice and shows any variance. Supplier price history, dated with its source, is on the Growth plan.

Step by step

How it works

  1. Order for the branch

    Set supplier, items, quantities, prices and delivery date, and follow the order from draft to fully received.

    A draft purchase order waiting in the approval queue until a manager approves it
  2. Receive what arrived

    The kitchen records delivered quantity, quality and, where needed, batch and expiry. Short lines stay visible.

    Shelf stock levels with one line running low and a reorder drafted
  3. Match before paying

    Order, goods received note and supplier bill are compared; quantity, price, item or tax gaps are resolved first.

  4. Watch supplier prices

    Dated price points show when chicken or cooking oil went up, before the next order.

Frequently asked questions

What is a goods received note in a restaurant?

The record of what physically arrived at the back door against the purchase order, checked by the kitchen.

Does the supplier bill replace receiving?

No. They are separate records, and TajerGo compares them before you approve.

Does a price change mean the supplier overcharged?

Not by itself. It is a reason to review the price before the next order.

Which plan shows supplier price history?

Supplier price history is part of supplier intelligence on the Growth plan.
