All in one doc processing, budgeting, gl export
What do you like best?
The features at a bargain price. The time saved with their document processing is multiplied when you use all the modules in their ecosystem. The data scraped from your daily intake is immediately available for budgeting, inventory operations, price analytics, and automated accounting software import. We save countless hours, have razor sharp data, and can even manage payables with a few clicks of a mouse. They have streamlined restaurant processes without any sacrifice to data integrity or data resolution.
After 2 weeks into our trial we were completely sold. Beginning with their invoice scanning: the app is free for iOS and Android. Their team was able to extract all line items from a big Corp vendor invoice down to the hand written receipts from the small guys.
The invoice data gets sanitized first by their team and then we have the option to check it on an approval screen before it gets committed. The net result is pristine data that you can trust to be later picked apart and analyzed in other modules.
The Quickbooks integration has been well thought out too. All invoice items are sorted in their correct groups on the GL as precise as you want.
The UI/UX has been well thought out and makes “sense” when someone needs to run numbers down.
Finally their development roadmap for future features is very organized and exciting. Their dev team doesn't rush to market but releases features at light speed compared to other solutions we have looked into.
We are extremely satisfied with their total offering.
What do you dislike?
This is difficult to answer because of the 40 character minimum. I can wholeheartedly say that I am pleased with every facet thus far.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just try it. Scanning all invoices to have them broke down and available to use with their accuracy is great. If you go further, it gets even better - reporting, price watcher, order from the system and it will dispatch to vendors.... many features for a low low price.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
Our specific restaurant needed to be turned around. Jumping into a rescue situation like that requires information and speed. Xtrachef immediately gave me the information I needed to prioritize the areas we were to improve. While you're making a “game plan”, the “show must go on”. Even during weekly operation we were able to track down slippage, change ordering habits, and renegotiate pricing.
Without xtrachef those first issues would've taken many employee hours and still probably would've been pushed later into the month.
That's just glossing over. To put it simply: feed XTra the invoices, setup your budgets across your revenue centers, and see what shakes out.
On the second week we ran our numbers, I saw 4 points fall out of our cogs.
