As Lore Bistroo’s founder Kristjan noted, restaurants today are navigating an economic shift where rising costs are pressuring businesses to optimize in every possible way. For the hospitality industry, technology is emerging as a powerful ally, enabling transformations that help restaurants, cafes, and bars thrive despite changing demands and financial challenges.

For restaurants, cafes, and bars, ordering supplies from multiple sources can be a logistical and time-consuming headache. Biteful simplifies this by offering an all-in-one platform where you can manage every order, track your order history, and streamline your entire process. Below you'll find couple of reasons on why it’s time to bring all your food and beverage ordering under one roof.

Simplified Ordering

Managing orders from multiple suppliers can quickly turn chaotic, with managers facing issues like juggling different order platforms, coordinating delivery schedules, and tracking invoices from various sources.

It’s not uncommon for items from different suppliers to arrive at conflicting times, disrupting kitchen prep and storage. Managers also face mismatched order quantities, forgotten items, or missed restocks due to the fragmented ordering process.

By bringing all these elements into a single platform, you allow your teammates to order everything from produce to specialty items in one go, saving your team's time, energy and ensure smooth operations for increased employee satisfaction.


Complete Order History at Your Fingertips

There’s no need to dig through endless email threads, invoices or spreadsheets to find past orders. By keeping all ordering unified, you keep a complete history of every order, making it easy to reorder popular items, analyze ordering patterns, and track supplier performance over time. Any level of organization helps streamline your purchasing strategy and gives you greater control over inventory.

Efficient Inventory Management for Reduced Waste

Unified ordering also helps restaurants to manage their inventories more effectively. By centralizing your order history, you can track how often you need specific items, reduce over-ordering, and prevent costly waste. Having a clear view of inventory levels allows you to make smarter purchasing decisions and ensures you always have fresh, high-quality products in stock.

Strengthen Supplier Relationships

One often-overlooked benefit of centralizing orders is the positive impact on supplier relationships. By unifying ordering, you make it easier to manage your interactions with suppliers, helping you build strong, reliable partnerships. With clear records of order frequency and payments, you’ll even have better leverage for negotiations, which can lead to discounts or priority service along the line.

Save Time and Boost Efficiency

Switching between different platforms or websites for ordering takes valuable time that your team could spend elsewhere. Unified ordering simplifies this by consolidating your entire ordering process to one place, allowing you to place and manage all your orders on one platform. By saving tens of hours of administrative work each month, you can redirect that time toward enhancing customer experiences.
