How prices move,
vendor by vendor.

The trend of your ingredients over the last 90 days, by product and by vendor, compared with what other restaurants pay. Every increase weighed on the dish and on the margin, with an alert when it matters.

Prices go up a cent at a time.

No vendor sends you a letter. Pancetta goes from 16.80 to 17.40, then 18.20, then 19.60. Every single increase is small, the sum eats two points of margin. And you notice when the carbonara stops paying off.

  • Increases in small steps

    Four 4% increases make 17%.

  • On the dish, not on the invoice

    The cost you see is the portion, and that's where it disappears.

  • No comparison

    You don't know if it's your vendor or the market.

Vendor or market

Is the increase the vendor's or the market's?

The same product, three vendors and the average of what other Ordinoo restaurants pay. If yours went up 17% and the market 4%, it's not inflation: it's a phone call to make, with the numbers in hand.

Real comparisons, from real invoices.

Other vendors' prices come from the invoices of the restaurants that use them, anonymized and by area. It's not a published price list: it's what people really pay. And when your vendor drifts away from the market, you see it the same month.

  • Market average by area

    From the invoices of Ordinoo restaurants, with no names.

  • The quote request ready

    With quantity and frequency: you send it.

On the dish

Every increase reaches the margin.

An increase of $2.80 a pound says nothing. $0.17 per carbonara for 380 carbonaras a month is $64 of margin. Ordinoo follows the chain by itself, so you know whether it's worth changing vendor, raising the price, or letting it go.

  • Through the recipes

    The increase weighed by portion size and sales.

  • Before you decide

    Change vendor, raise the price or let it go: with the number.

What you do with it

An alert in time is worth $570 a month.

Price trends aren't a chart to look at: they're an alert when a vendor drifts away from the market, with the quote request already prepared. In nine days the pancetta moved to another vendor and the margin came back.

  • Alert when it matters

    Not at every cent: when the increase drifts away from the market.
