The average restaurant location purchases $300,000 worth of supplies per year. Whether you are an independent, restaurant group, or restaurant chain, when you are making purchases at that volume, sharpening your pencil on costs can feel overwhelming.

At Dashy Dash we help restaurants control costs with less work. Using Dashy Dash Transaction Search can help you stay on top of your restaurant supply expenses without endless hours of office time.

How does Transaction Search help you save?

With Dashy Dash Transaction Search you can quickly identify the products and purchase categories that are driving the majority of your restaurant's supply expenses so you can build a plan to control those costs in the future.

By making it easy to understand your biggest supply expenses and easily accessing price histories for all your purchases you can take actions like negotiating price decreases, or adjusting recipes to reduce costs and increase profits, or shopping around to different vendors for better prices.

How it works

Dashy Dash takes the supply purchase information that’s trapped on your invoices, and makes it useful for you. We automatically analyze your purchases for information on products, prices, vendors, and purchase dates to give you useful insights that can help you save. We extract expense information from invoice images or data feeds, provide line-item level detail, automatically categorizes purchase, and make it easy to understand where your money is going.

Line Item Level Detail - Insights about each item you buy

Line item level detail means we don’t just look at invoice totals. We provide you insights on each individual item purchased from your distributors and vendors. We can then take that information and provide you valuable information about your spending.

Automatic Classification - Quickly dig into your biggest cost drivers

We automatically categorize each purchase so that you can quickly uncover spending patterns and dig into the supply categories that are having the greatest impact on your business. You can click directly on the chart on our transactions page to drill down into your expenses and the underlying data automatically updates.

You Purchase Data - The most important details of your restaurant's supply expenses right at your finger tips

Our Transactions data table makes it easy to see the most important information about your expense like Product, Distributor/Vendor, Date of Purchase, Product Size, Price, and associated Invoice number.

From the data table you can quickly navigate to a price history for each product or to the invoice associated with the transaction to answer additional questions.
