The Challenge

Common invoice processing automation challenges facing hospitality & tourism businesses.

High volume of daily supplier deliveries means invoices pile up and are entered in bulk at week end, distorting daily cost tracking

Price increases from food distributors go unnoticed because nobody checks individual line items against agreed price lists

Multiple venues or departments share suppliers but costs are lumped together, making per-venue profitability opaque

Paper delivery dockets from early morning food deliveries are frequently lost before they reach the accounts team

Implementation

How we implement invoice processing automation for your hospitality & tourism business.

Food and Beverage Supplier Invoice Capture

Invoices from food distributors, beverage suppliers, linen services, and cleaning contractors are captured from email, delivery apps, and photographed dockets.

✓ Tools: Xero, Google Drive, Make

Delivery Verification and Price Matching

Invoice quantities and prices are matched against delivery notes and agreed price lists to catch overcharges, short deliveries, and substituted products.

✓ Tools: Make, Google Sheets, Xero

Cost of Goods and Departmental Allocation

Each line item is allocated to the correct cost category (food, beverage, cleaning, maintenance) and venue or department for accurate COGS tracking.

✓ Tools: Xero, Make, Google Sheets

Payment Scheduling by Supplier Terms

Invoices are batched for payment according to each supplier payment terms, with priority given to perishable goods suppliers who require faster settlement.

✓ Tools: Xero, MYOB, Make
