Receive against the purchase order or without one. Posting the receipt updates stock, and invoices are matched to orders and receipts so price differences show up before you approve.

  • Invoice exceptions flagged before approval
  • Supplier price changes per line
  • Returns and supplier credits tracked
03

Questions

Stock & finance

How does restaurant inventory management work in Mesa Central?

Stock changes only through documents: a posted goods receipt, a count, waste, a transfer or a sent order. Each movement is logged, so you can see why a stock level is what it is.

How is recipe costing calculated?

From your recipes, ingredient costs and supplier prices. Mesa Central shows the plate cost, food-cost percentage, margin and a suggested price, and marks dishes where a cost or price is missing.

Can Mesa Central read our delivery notes?

With the AI upgrade, you photograph or upload a delivery note and the lines come through as a goods receipt. Unclear products, quantities or units stay marked until someone on your team confirms them.

Is the P&L our official accounts?

No. It is a management P&L for running the restaurant. Statutory accounts, tax filing and payroll stay with your accountant, and you can export the figures to them.
