Whether you purchase from one distributor or several, Genius helps you find the best price.
No forced vendor changes. No complicated procurement process. No unnecessary disruption to your kitchen.
Just smarter purchasing decisions.
Stop negotiating
Compare Restaurant Food Prices in Real Time
Food prices change constantly. A product that was a good deal last month may not be the best option today. When prices are tracked manually in spreadsheets or checked across multiple vendor portals, it’s easy to miss those changes.
Genius compares vendor pricing item by item so you can identify savings opportunities before placing an order.
- Know what you’re paying.
- Know what alternatives cost.
- Know where you’re overpaying.
Instead of relying on outdated price lists or memory, you can make purchasing decisions using current pricing information.
Control cost
Keep Food Costs Under Control
Food cost is one of the most important numbers in a restaurant. But your food cost isn’t determined only by what you charge for a dish. It is affected by what you pay for ingredients, how prices change, what you have in inventory, and how those changes affect your recipes.
Genius connects these pieces. With live vendor pricing, inventory visibility, and recipe costing, you can get a clearer picture of where your food costs stand and where your margins may be getting squeezed- giving you control over food costs, not just visibility into pricing.
Stay up to date
Keep Recipe Costs Up to Date
Your menu may stay the same while your ingredient costs change.If chicken, beef, produce, dairy, cooking oil, or other ingredients increase in price, the cost of producing your menu items changes too.
Genius connects ingredient pricing with recipe costs so you can see how changing vendor prices affect individual dishes.
- Know your recipe costs.
- Understand your margins.
- Make better menu decisions.
Instead of relying on recipe costs calculated months ago, you can work with more current purchasing data.
Track Inventory
Track Inventory Without the Headaches
Inventory management shouldn’t require your team to spend hours counting and updating spreadsheets.
Genius provides real-time inventory visibility to help you understand what’s happening with the products you’re purchasing. Better inventory visibility can help you identify:
- Excess purchasing
- Waste
- Over-portioning
- Unexpected usage
- Inventory discrepancies
- Potential purchasing inefficiencies
When purchasing and inventory data work together, you have a better understanding of where your food dollars are going.
Collect your savings
Don’t Leave Restaurant Rebates on the Table
Your restaurant may already qualify for supplier or manufacturer rebates—but tracking them manually can be difficult.
Genius helps identify and capture available rebates so eligible savings don’t get overlooked.
That means your restaurant can potentially recover money that would otherwise disappear into the complexity of purchasing and supplier programs.
Your restaurant works hard for every dollar. Make sure you’re collecting the savings you’re entitled to.
