What kind of reporting does Craftable provide?

Craftable provides reporting on purchasing trends, inventory usage, vendor pricing, invoice history, and operational performance across locations. Finance and operations teams can view consolidated data across properties and export reports to support budget planning and vendor negotiations.

How does operational reporting help hospitality businesses?

Operational reporting allows leadership teams to monitor cost drivers, identify spending patterns, and spot issues before they affect the bottom line. When purchasing, inventory, and invoice data are connected in one report, teams can act on real information instead of end-of-month surprises.

Can operators track performance across locations?

Yes. Craftable's multi-location reporting allows hospitality groups to compare purchasing trends, inventory usage, and financial performance across stores or properties — helping leadership identify where costs are in line and where they need attention.

INVENTORY MANAGEMENT

Count it.

In LSR, over-portioning and waste don't show up until the end of the month — by then, it's already cost you. Craftable tracks inventory as it moves through your kitchen so you catch variance daily, not after the damage is done.

PURCHASING & ORDERING

Order it.

LSR teams don't have time to chase vendors or sort through handwritten orders. Craftable centralizes every vendor in one place — so the right products show up on time, at the right price, without the manual back-and-forth.

Manage all vendor orders from one platform, no juggling
Use EDI, Punchout, or custom order guides to reduce errors
Automatically flag price discrepancies before they hit your margins

ACCOUNTS PAYABLE

Close it.

Finance teams at multi-unit LSRs shouldn't be chasing invoices. Craftable automates invoice capture, matches it to your orders and deliveries, and syncs directly to your accounting system — so month-end close stops being a fire drill.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Limited-Service Restaurants

What is Craftable and how does it work for limited-service restaurants? +

Craftable is a restaurant operations platform that connects purchasing, inventory, recipe costing, and labor in one system. For limited-service operators, it provides real-time visibility into food and labor costs so you can catch margin erosion before it hits your P&L — not after.

How does Craftable help limited-service restaurants control food costs? +

Craftable tracks actual vs. theoretical food cost across every menu item, flags variance when costs deviate from recipe standards, and surfaces where waste, over-portioning, or supplier price increases are eating into margin. The average limited-service restaurant spends 31.3% of sales on food — Craftable helps you know if you're above that number and why.

Does Craftable work for multi-unit LSR operators? +

Yes. Craftable is built for multi-unit operators. You get location-level cost data alongside brand-wide benchmarks, so you can identify which units are outperforming and replicate what's working across your portfolio.

How does Craftable help reduce labor costs in quick-service restaurants? +

Craftable connects labor hours to sales data so you can see actual labor cost as a percentage of revenue in real time. With hourly turnover running at 50% industry-wide, you need a system that makes onboarding and cost tracking fast — Craftable reduces the manual work so your managers can focus on the floor.

Can Craftable integrate with my existing POS system? +

Craftable integrates with leading POS systems used across the limited-service segment. Your sales data flows directly into cost calculations, so food cost percentages and labor metrics update automatically without manual entry.
