Price intelligence
Know what you pay.
Every item, every drop.
Vendors reprice quietly, and most owners find out at month-end. Purchasing agents read every vendor portal overnight and every invoice on arrival, so delivered and advertised prices sit side by side per item, and an alert lands the day a price moves.

Agents gather overnight
While the restaurant is closed, agents read every vendor portal and every emailed price sheet. Nothing is ordered at night; overnight is for gathering.
Prices normalize
Pack math converts cases, splits, and weights into units you can actually compare, with your manual overrides winning.
Changes surface by morning
Anything that moved is flagged, with the invoice or portal price attached as evidence.
Delivered vs. advertised
The price on the portal and the price on your invoice, side by side, so quiet gaps stop being quiet. Agents read the portals overnight, so the advertised number is never more than a day old.
Price history per item
Every delivery adds a point. Trend lines build themselves from the invoices you were getting anyway, back to your first delivery on RestaurantMate.
Change alerts
A case price moves and you know that day, with the receipt attached as evidence. A $1.85 increase on a case you buy twice a week is nearly $200 a year, caught in week one instead of quarter three.
Vendor comparison
The same item across every vendor who sells it, normalized to comparable units. When another vendor is $2.10 a case cheaper, moving the item is one tap in the cart.
Price creep dies in daylight
Vendors rarely raise prices loudly. Forty cents a case here, a pack-size change there. Because agents gather portal prices every night and every invoice is read line by line, creep shows up as a flagged line the week it starts, not a mystery in the P&L a quarter later.
- Portal prices refreshed overnight, every night
- Invoice lines matched to order guide items
- Pack-size changes caught, not absorbed
- Evidence attached: receipt, date, vendor
Deterministic math you can audit
Unit prices come from explicit pack math, never AI estimates. A six-count case at $41.40 is $6.90 each because the case says six, and a manual price you set wins over everything. When two numbers disagree, you can trace exactly why.
- Explicit conversions, manual overrides always win
- No AI-estimated prices, anywhere
- Same math in the shop, the cart, and reports
- Audit-only conversion history

Good to know
Where do the prices come from?
Two places: live vendor portals your agents read, and the invoices from your own deliveries. You see both, side by side.
What about pack-size changes?
A case that quietly shrinks from 24 to 20 count shows up as a unit-price jump, not a hidden loss. Pack math is explicit and auditable.
Can I export the history?
Yes. Every item's price history exports cleanly, with vendor, date, and receipt references intact.
What about vendors who only email price sheets?
They count too. Price sheets sent to your RestaurantMate inbox or connected Gmail or Outlook are read overnight along with the portals, so email-only vendors get the same history and the same alerts.
