$15k-$500k
flows through a typical F&B kitchen every month - across 30 to 300+ supplier invoices that arrive as PDFs, photos, paper, and forwarded email. Until each one is captured, none of it is countable. Most operators only learn where the margin went once the month is already closed.
Illustrative ranges from Chit's ICP research, not a measured Chit result.
The month-end scramble, every month
the problemThe pain is the same in every kitchen: too many invoices, too little time, and no clear picture of where the money actually went.
Invoices keyed by hand
Every PDF, photo, and paper invoice re-typed line by line into a spreadsheet. Hours gone each week, and errors baked in from the start.
Spreadsheet reconciliation
Vendors, categories, and totals stitched together by hand at month-end - and out of date the moment the work is finished.
No real spend visibility
You can't see total spend by vendor, category, or item until the books close, so overspend is always caught too late to act on.
Food cost creeps up
Prices drift up quietly. Without per-item history, an 18% jump on a staple hides in the noise until the margin is already gone.

Read by AI, confirmed by you - then it joins your ledger.
More than capture
One place for everything you buy
The capture-only tools stop at the invoice. Chit runs the whole loop - capture, one ledger, food cost, and purchasing - in a single place.
Capture all spend
AI invoice capture for every supplier, in any format - PDF, photo, or paper. A person confirms each one; nothing is keyed by hand.
One unified ledger
Every invoice, whatever its source, normalizes into one ledger you can actually query. The raw vendor item name is always kept; cross-vendor product matching fills in over time.
Food-cost control
Spend by category, vendor, and item, with per-item price history and price-creep alerts - “tomatoes up 18%, Vendor B is 12% cheaper.”
POs & approvals
Raise purchase orders, route approvals, and match what you ordered against what was delivered and billed - the three-way match.
Powered by Farmio
OptionalWhen you buy from a Farmio supplier, the loop closes itself.
Most of your suppliers are external, and Chit handles them all on its own. For suppliers powered by Farmio, there is nothing to capture at all - the order goes out and comes back fully reconciled.
- 01
Raise a PO
Send a purchase order to a Farmio-powered supplier, right from Chit.
- 02
Fulfilled
The supplier receives and fulfills the order on Farmio.
- 03
Flows back
The delivery and the invoice return to Chit automatically.
- 04
Auto-matched
PO, delivery, and invoice reconcile themselves - auto-confirmed, zero keying.
Optional and additive. Chit is a complete, standalone product without it; the closed loop is a bonus for the suppliers you already buy from who happen to run on Farmio.
Why Chit
Warmer than a spreadsheet. Sharper than a generic tool.
A spreadsheet
Free and familiar - and entirely manual. Re-keyed by hand, stale by month-end, with no capture, no price history, and no real-time spend.
A generic procurement tool
Built for enterprise purchasing, not a kitchen. Heavy to roll out, cold to use, and blind to food cost.
Chit
F&B-nativeF&B-native. AI capture, one ledger, food cost, and POs - warm, fast to start, and built for how kitchens actually buy.
