Let Maya, Your AI Manager, Handle Your Inventory & Food Wastage.
She controls your entire food cost — recipes, purchasing, waste & expiry, 24/7.
Maya connects your sales, recipes, stock and purchasing. She knows what you'll sell tomorrow, what to order, and what's about to expire. Lower your food wastage by up to 50%.
Everything an Inventory Manager Does. Done by AI using Machine Learning.
You've looked at inventory management software before. Maya is different — she doesn't just record your stock, she manages it: counting, forecasting, ordering and cost control, every single day.
AI Inventory Management
Maya tracks every ingredient in real time — what came in, what got used, what's left on the shelf — and rebuilds your stock position daily from actual movements.
- ✓ Live stock levels with low-stock warnings
- ✓ Par level (reorder point) recommendations
- ✓ Expiry tracking on every perishable lot
Recipe Management
Every menu item is linked to its recipe. When Maya forecasts you'll sell 200 plates tomorrow, she instantly knows exactly how much of each ingredient that takes.
- ✓ Recipes converted into ingredient demand automatically
- ✓ Batch yields & unit conversions handled for you
- ✓ Ask for any recipe's ingredients & cost in chat
Purchase Management
Maya prepares tomorrow's purchase orders from real demand — not gut feeling. One PO per supplier, rounded to pack sizes, with delivery dates based on each supplier's lead time.
- ✓ Draft purchase orders ready for your approval
- ✓ Stops over-ordering: demand − stock − in-transit
- ✓ Emails approved POs to verified suppliers
Food Cost Control
Your food cost %, waste cost and savings — measured, not guessed. Maya finds where the money leaks: over-ordering, expired stock, or an ingredient quietly being used faster than it should.
- ✓ Waste leaderboard ranked by cost, with root causes
- ✓ Food-cost KPIs on one dashboard
- ✓ A savings ledger that proves what Maya saved you
Nothing Expires on Maya's Watch.
Every product in the food industry is perishable — cooked or raw, everything expires at some point. Maya knows exactly what will expire and when, and tells you in time to act:
Maya plans expiring stock into tomorrow's production and prep so it gets used first.
Running multiple locations? Move stock to where it will actually be used before it turns.
Push it with a promotion or a special before it becomes waste — Maya can draft the promo too.
That's money that used to go in the bin — back on your P&L.
Maya: Tomorrow's cookie batch needs 9.6 L — I've scheduled this lot to be used first. No waste.
Maya: Weekend demand won't cover it. Suggest a Friday special — or transfer 4 Kg to your downtown location.
Maya: Moved to the top of today's prep list and reduced Thursday's cream cheese order by 6 Kg. Saved ~$54.

How Does Maya Know? She Reads Your Restaurant's Rhythm.
Maya doesn't guess — she studies. Machine-learning models trained on your own sales history map your demand curve, so every KPI is forecast before the day begins.
She Learns Your History
Maya trains on a full year of your sales — every KPI that matters: revenue, transactions, customers, units and average order value. She knows your peaks and troughs, your busiest Friday hour and your quietest Tuesday.
She Sees What's Coming
Long weekends, public holidays, festivals, paydays — even the weather. Maya reads the calendar ahead and adjusts the forecast before the rush (or the lull) arrives, not after it hits you.
She Tells You What to Do
Forecasts become recommendations: the inventory to order, the sales to prep for, even the staffing to schedule. Peak day or slow day — you're never caught by surprise.

Maya Proposes. You Approve.
Maya is powerful because she's accountable. She never sends an order, changes a par level, or emails a supplier on her own. Every action arrives as a card — you approve it, change it, or reject it.
- Approval on everything — high-value orders can require two approvers
- Role-based access — staff see stock, only you see margins and costs
- Full audit trail — every action logged, every executed action reversible
- Kill switch — pause everything Maya does with one click, any time
