Your F&B Margins Are Too Thin to Leave to Guesswork

When food and beverage isn't your primary revenue driver, you can't afford to run it on gut feel. Select service operators deal with lean teams, limited menus, and tight margins — and a single miscounted delivery or uncosted recipe can quietly eat through what little profit exists. Craftable gives you full visibility into every F&B dollar: what you ordered, what you received, what it actually costs, and where it's going.

INVENTORY MANAGEMENT

Know exactly what you have. Order only what you need.

Select service kitchens run lean — which means overordering wastes cash and underordering kills service. Craftable replaces clipboard counts and guesswork with digital inventory tracking that's built for tight operations. Counts are faster, variances are visible immediately, and you stop paying for product you can't account for.

  • Mobile counting app speeds up physical inventory — no transcription, no spreadsheets
  • Automated variance alerts flag discrepancies between orders received and what's on shelf
  • Par-level reordering prevents both overstock and stockouts on your most-used items
  • Purchase order matching catches short shipments and pricing errors before they hit your P&L

RECIPE COSTING & MENU ENGINEERING

If you don't know what it costs to make it, you don't know if you're making money.

A select service menu may be small, but every item on it needs to pull its weight. Craftable ties your recipes directly to real-time ingredient costs — so when your produce supplier raises prices, you see immediately how it affects every dish. No manual recalculation. No surprises at month-end.
  • Build and cost recipes using actual purchase prices from your invoices
  • Automatically update food costs when ingredient prices change
  • Menu engineering reports show your highest- and lowest-margin items at a glance
  • Ideal vs. actual cost analysis reveals exactly where your margins are leaking

MULTI-PROPERTY MANAGEMENT

Manage every property from one place. Spot issues before they compound.

Most select service operators aren't running one hotel — they're managing a portfolio. Craftable gives regional managers a single dashboard view across all properties: inventory, costs, vendor performance, and variance by location. When one property starts trending in the wrong direction, you know before it becomes a problem.
  • Consolidated reporting across all properties in a single dashboard
  • Compare food cost percentages by property, region, or brand to identify outliers
  • Standardized recipes and menus push to every location — consistency at scale
  • Vendor performance tracking across the portfolio for better purchasing leverage

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Questions about Craftable for select service hotels.

Is Craftable worth it for a select service property with a limited F&B program? +

Yes — especially because of it. Select service properties often have the smallest tolerance for F&B waste, because margins are thinner and there's less revenue to absorb the losses. Craftable is built to work for operations of any size, and the ROI tends to be faster for leaner operations because even small improvements in food cost percentage move the needle significantly.

Can Craftable handle multiple brands under one portfolio? +

Yes. Craftable supports multi-property and multi-brand management from a single account. Regional managers can view consolidated reporting across all properties or drill into individual locations. Recipe libraries and menus can be standardized across the portfolio or customized by property.

What does AP automation look like for a property that processes a limited number of invoices? +

Even at lower invoice volume, manual AP processing introduces errors — wrong pricing, missed credit memos, duplicate payments. Craftable's AP automation digitizes and matches invoices to purchase orders automatically, regardless of volume. Smaller operations often see the biggest time savings because the same manual process that takes 30 minutes at a large hotel still takes 20 minutes at a select service property.

Does Craftable integrate with our PMS or POS system? +

Craftable integrates with major POS systems used in hotel F&B operations. If you're running a specific system, the integrations team will confirm compatibility during your demo. PMS integrations vary by property management platform — this is a good question to bring to your initial call.
