Inventory & food cost
Notch
Wholesale ordering and accounts-payable automation connecting restaurants with their food and drink distributors.
What it does
Notch is a foodservice procurement and payments platform that lets operators order from distributors, digitize and reconcile invoices, and automate supplier payments in one place, with real-time order and inventory updates. Built for restaurant supply-chain ordering, it now emphasizes accounts payable and receivable automation, and was acquired by Telpay in 2026 with service continuing.
Best for
Restaurants that want to consolidate distributor ordering, invoices, and payments in one workflow.
AI features
Automation rather than AI. It offers OCR invoice scanning and processing, automated invoice reconciliation, order tracking, price comparison, and online supplier payments. No AI capability is prominently claimed.
Pricing
No public pricing; quote-based, contact the vendor.
Pricing signals are indicative and change often. Confirm current pricing with the vendor.
How TableMagic fits
Compare Notch with the job you need done and the tools you already use. If a workflow is missing, describe it in the builder and review the result. Check the provider’s supported connections and costs before deciding what to build or replace.
