Who gramo is for, and who it isn't for
We'd rather you knew before you try it. If you're on the second list you won't get much out of it, and we'll both save time.
Who it's for
You buy from wholesalers and don't know what a dish costs you
This is the core case. You upload your supplier's invoice, gramo reads it and gives you a catalogue at the price you really pay, not the list price. From then on the cost of every dish recalculates itself when ingredients go up.
You run a bakery or a production kitchen
Bakeries, pastry shops, production and central kitchens. This is where it shows most, because one recipe goes inside another and the cost of the sourdough starter drags the cost of the bread with it without anyone recalculating it by hand.
Your HACCP and traceability are on paper
Temperature logs, batches and use-by dates. If a supplier issues a recall tomorrow, knowing which batches came in and which dishes they went into is the difference between an afternoon and a week.
You run one business, or a few
gramo is built for one site or a handful, with the owner or head chef involved day to day. If you're the one who looks at the invoices, you're who it's for.
Your business is in Spain and you work in English
The app, the emails and the assistant are in English. Your suppliers' invoices are read in Spanish as they come, and your labels and inspection report come out in Spanish if that's what you need. The rules it follows are the Spanish and EU ones that apply to you.
Who it isn't for
Chains with dozens of sites
Beyond a certain size, purchasing is centralised, costings are decided at head office and all of that has to talk to the ERP and the purchasing department. That's a different product, and this isn't it.
You're looking for a till system
gramo doesn't take payments or send orders to the kitchen. What it does is read what you've already sold on your till to take it off your stock. If what you need is to take payments, you need a till, and then gramo connects to it.
You're looking for invoicing or accounting
gramo reads the invoices you receive; it doesn't issue the ones you send. It doesn't do Spanish e-invoicing (Veri*factu), books or taxes. If that's what you need, look at Saldia (in Spanish), made by the same team, which does.
You expect someone to set up your recipes for you
gramo reads the invoices on its own. The recipes are yours to enter: only you know how much goes into each dish, and a costing with quantities we made up would be worse than none. You can upload them from a photo or from your spreadsheet, but the first time you'll need to sit down for a while.
What you need to bring
One supplier invoice, as a PDF or a photo of the paper. That's enough for a catalogue with real prices. To see your margins you also need to enter your recipes, which is the hard part and the only one we can't do for you.
