​Put your invoices on autopilot

Are your accounting practices still paper-heavy and technology-light? Automating your processing of invoices can unlock a number of real-time benefits for your business, according to a Restaurant Nuts report. For one, automating your invoices can help you capture data by line item and decrease the number of manual processes you must manage, which allows you to spend more time on other parts of your business. You can track inventory prices (in addition to your other bills) in real time, so you can make adjustments to your ingredients or menu pricing as soon as they’re needed and not have to play catch-up. The same goes for waste — an automated system can help you see what’s selling and what’s not so you have a better handle on the supplies you need, and if you ever have to reject a shipment, you can make sure you keep on top of any credit given to you by a vendor.
