Your suppliers' prices change every week; your dish costs should change with them. Snap the invoice and Teremu shows which dishes are slipping, when a supplier changed a price, and what to reprice — in minutes, with no spreadsheets.
No card. 25 free scans a month, forever.
You opened your restaurant for the food, but great food is only half the business. With 3–5 cents of profit on the dollar, what you can't see costs you.
3–5%
That's the typical net margin for a full-service restaurant. A single point of food cost is roughly a quarter of your profit.
Example:Classic burger · food cost31% → 34%
Teremu shows your real food cost, dish by dish, so you know where that point is.
+34%
Food costs are up 34% since before the pandemic, and not every ingredient moves the same way. The cost card you made three months ago is already out of date.
Example:Olive oil, 5 L$38 → $51
Every approved invoice updates your dish costs instantly: you see today's margin, not the one from the last time you opened Excel.
1 in 3
In audits of thousands of invoices, about a third had at least one overcharge. It's rarely fraud: a price changed, an item was substituted, a pack size shifted, and nobody checked.
Example:White onions 50 lb · agreed $32billed $38
Teremu compares every line to what you paid before and to your delivery note, and flags the gap while you can still dispute it.

Everything in Teremu hangs off one flow. You scan; AI does the rest; you correct what matters.
Order #1
Photograph a stack of invoices. The camera never blocks between shots — uploads and AI run in the background.
→ You stop typing in invoices.
Order #2
Photo next to extracted line items, side by side. One tap to approve; warnings guide the eye.
→ You pay what you agreed to.
Order #3
Avocados go up and your guacamole's margin recalculates; prices roll and the pantry fills — automatically.
→ You see today's margin, not the one from three months ago.
Order #4
Alerts when a vendor raises the price of butter or a dish slips below its target margin.
→ You react this week, not at month's end.
Move the sliders to your kitchen's numbers. It's a prudent estimate, not a promise.
Illustrative estimate. Your results depend on your suppliers, your prices, your invoice volume, and acting on what Teremu shows you.
Intelligent approximation over bookkeeping. It never asks you to log anything daily.
A stack of invoices in a minute and nothing to type afterwards. It catches blurry shots before they upload.
See how the restaurant is doing at a glance and hear about problems this week, not at month's end.
Know every dish's real margin today and reprice only the ones that need it.
Know what you have and what to order without counting daily: purchases − sales = current stock.
Compare what you pay to what you used to pay and negotiate with data. The directory builds itself from your invoices.
Answers in seconds about your own business, like "what's the risotto's margin?", without opening a spreadsheet.
Teremu runs in the browser today and ships as iOS and Android apps. Every automatic number is correctable, and the human's correction always wins.
Only ingredients, never the method
We cost the dish from its ingredient list and quantities. How you cook it — your technique and your secrets — stays with you.
Your data, private
We never sell or share your information with third parties. What you upload is yours, and only you can see it.
You're in control
Ask for a copy of your data or have it deleted whenever you want, and correct any automatic number. The human's correction always wins.
