Deliveries
Turn delivery paperwork into useful purchasing data.
Photograph a delivery note or invoice and let CaterCTRL do the repetitive reading. Review the result, confirm it, and build a better supplier and price history over time.
2.Extract
AI reads the supplier and document details — suggestions only, always marked as unverified until reviewed.
3.Review & confirm
Your team checks every value. Human confirmation is authoritative — nothing is accepted automatically.
4.Learn
Confirmed deliveries build supplier, product and price history — so the next delivery is quicker.
The real CaterCTRL app — AI-assisted, human-confirmed
Suppliers & products
Know what you buy, from whom, at what price.
Deliveries feed a living supplier and product catalogue — so purchasing decisions are based on your records, not memory.
Suppliers
Supplier records with contacts, order cut-offs and site coverage — plus a shared supplier directory to build from.
Products, SKU & pack data
Supplier-specific products with SKU and pack/unit information kept the way each supplier actually sells to you.
Purchase & price history
Every confirmed delivery adds to your purchase history, so you can see how prices move over time — per product, per supplier.
Supplier options
The same product from different suppliers stays comparable, so switching or negotiating is based on your own records.

GP moves — visibly
Figures are illustrative, not customer data. In CaterCTRL this chain runs across every supplier, product, recipe and menu you manage.
Live recipe costing
Recipes are built from real supplier products, so costs stay current as prices move — no more costing a menu once and hoping for the best.
Gross profit analysis
See GP per dish and per menu as costs change. Spot margin pressure early and adjust pricing, portioning or suppliers with confidence.
One change, everywhere
One database of suppliers and products means one place to update a price — and that update flows through recipes and menus.
Menu builder
Build menus from costed recipes with connected allergen information, and understand the margin of the whole menu before it goes to print.
