Hospitality (Hotels & Restaurants)

Find the leak: food, liquor and commission sweep

The property is profitable on paper but quietly leaks rupees through hundreds of small mismatches nobody has time to catch: food cost above recipe, pour-cost variance, OTA commission and aggregator deductions above the agreed terms, procurement price drift and duplicate payments, under-billed corporate and event receivables. The leak is real money, it is in the property's own data, and it is recoverable with evidence.

Who has it

Restaurants, QSR and cafe chains and cloud kitchens for the food, liquor and aggregator-deduction leak; hotels and resorts for OTA commission and procurement leak; banquets, catering and events for per-event margin.

What we build

A sweep across the property's own records that surfaces money already lost or about to be, theoretical vs actual food cost, pour-cost variance, commission and deduction over-charges against the agreed terms, procurement price drift and duplicates, under-billed services, with a line-level trail to the bill, booking or settlement. This is the firm's universal entry wedge, the read-only "find the money in your own data" demo, and in hospitality the food, liquor and commission leaks are usually the headline. It is distinct from settlement reconciliation: reconciliation asks whether two sources agree, while the leak sweep asks where, inside the property's own records, money is being lost that can be recovered.

What is automated, where AI helps, who signs off

Automation for the routine. A person on every decision that matters.

The reliable spine

The non-AI spine is the sweep logic: theoretical-versus-actual food cost, pour-cost variance, commission and deduction checks against the agreed terms, and procurement price-drift and duplicate detection, each with a line-level trail.

Where AI helps

AI reads the messy source records, scanned bills, settlement statements and recipe sheets, and matches them so each suspected leak can be tied back to its bill, booking or settlement; it never owns the number, the approval, the promise or the decision.

Who signs off

A named person signs off anything touching money, stock, a customer promise, a regulated filing, a payment, a price, a credit decision or a people decision.

What changes day to day

A quantified, line-level recovery report and then a recurring sweep that keeps catching the food, liquor, commission and procurement leaks every cycle.

Illustrative outcome

A recoverable slice of food, liquor, commission and procurement spend surfaced with evidence each cycle. Illustrative; final numbers come from your own data.
