Tracks every ingredient, every invoice, every par. Catches margin movement before it hits your P&L.
Leo connects your POS, your invoices, and your prep counts. It knows what you sold, what you used, and what came in the back door. When the cost of olive oil goes up 14% on a Sysco invoice, Leo flags it before your CFO opens the spreadsheet on Friday.
Three jobs Leo owns
Live cost-per-use
Every ingredient, every recipe, every menu item. Costs update with each invoice without spreadsheet maintenance.
Catches price drift
When a supplier price moves outside your range, Leo flags it on the next invoice, not next month.
Smarter pars
Demand-aware par levels that move with weather, day-part, and POS history. You over-order less and 86 less.
What this looks like in real service
Reads and reconciles
Sysco PDF lands. Leo OCRs it, matches to the order, flags drift, and posts a line-by-line variance report.
Reconciles theoretical vs actual
POS sales × recipe = theoretical use. Compared to actual prep counts. Variance over a threshold lands on tomorrow morning.
