Ordering, suppliers, billing and payments. Now automated in Havenue.
Havenue already ran your events, your recipes and your costs. From 1.4 it also writes next week's orders from your booked events, sends them to your suppliers, records what arrives at the back door, reads the bills that follow, and collects your client's money. The week's paperwork does itself.
What you can now run inside Havenue
All of it is live today. Each one replaces something you are paying another system for, or doing by hand.
- Supplier records that drive the ordering: Preferred channel, order cut-off, lead time, delivery days and minimum order. Set them once and every order obeys them.
- Orders written from your booked events: Your events, minus your stock, minus what is already on its way, grouped by supplier. Every line says why it is there.
- Receiving built for the back door: Short, over, damaged, rejected, wrong item, substituted. One tap each, on a phone, at the door. Or the bill fills it in automatically for you.
- Client money, on the event: Quotes and invoices raised from the event, deposits and balances that follow the event date, and a link your client pays on their phone.
- Supplier invoice scanning: Photograph a bill. Thirty seconds later its lines are checked, costed data, matched to the order it belongs to.
- A buyer who can draft but not send: Your chef de partie assembles next week's order and the head chef sends it, so buying no longer waits on one person being free.
What a supplier's case price actually costs you per portion
Suppliers sell in cases. Kitchens cook in grams. Havenue does every step in between and shows its working, so the GP% you quote on is a fact and not an estimate.
Run the week's deliveries the way you run the week's events
The order calendar shows what is arriving and when, what is late, and what has to be ordered today to make a delivery day. You can assign tasks to your team for specific days: check this delivery, chase that supplier, count that shelf. They get a message and a notification in their Havenue inbox.
The dietary engine is why Havenue exists. 1.4 is what surrounds it.
When somebody asks what a coeliac guest was served in March, the answer should not be a folder of PDFs. Havenue checks every dish against every guest from verified ingredient data, suggests a suitable replacement dish for chef review, and produces the catering pack the kitchen actually works from.
The client portal
Your client opens one link on their phone and sees their event exactly as you would want them to: the menu, the guest count, the dietary requirements, the timings, the balance. They approve the menu with one tap and it lands on the event, so your kitchen stops waiting on a reply buried in an email chain. They settle the balance in the same place. No account to create, no password to forget, nothing for them to install.
Photograph the bill. Thirty seconds later it is checked, costed and matched to the order.
Supplier bills used to sit in a shoebox until someone found time to type them, which is why the food cost in your reports was always last year's guess. Now you photograph one at the back door, or forward the PDF, and Havenue reads every line, re-adds the arithmetic, checks the tax and shows you the original document beside the figures it pulled off it. Approve once and the cost lands on your ingredients, your recipes and every event that used them.
See it running on your own suppliers.
Book a walkthrough and bring a supplier price list and a recent bill. We will load them and show you next week's order. Or start free and run the bill on your desk through it yourself.
