Problem
Hospitality venues often discover supplier price increases only after margins have already eroded, and they lack the evidence needed to challenge or compare those increases. Without visibility into price movements across their entire supplier base, operators cannot distinguish isolated hikes from widespread trends or assess the annual financial impact.
Solution
countfor.me provides automated supplier-price monitoring that watches invoice line items and flags price movements as soon as they occur. The platform connects to accounting systems like Xero or accepts forwarded invoices without manual data entry, then calculates the annual margin at risk for every detected increase. It builds a negotiation case using volume history, current quotes, and price benchmarks so operators can decide whether to challenge, switch, or accept a supplier change. The Peer Project adds opt-in anonymized regional benchmarks for like-for-like product comparisons, gating results behind privacy thresholds to ensure fair and comparable data.
Target Audience
Primary customers are Australian hospitality operators including cafes, restaurants, and venues that need to control supplier costs and negotiate confidently with food and beverage vendors.
Features
- Automated invoice ingestion via Xero integration or email forwarding, with no data entry required
- Price-movement detection that flags changes when the invoice arrives, not after margin loss
- Annual margin-at-risk calculator using venue volume data (e.g., $2,600 for a $2/kg rise on 25kg weekly bean usage)
- Evidence packs combining price history, quote comparisons, and market benchmarks for supplier negotiations
- The Peer Project generates anonymized regional benchmarks requiring at least 5 peer venues, 20 invoice lines, and 3 peer organizations before displaying comparisons
- Privacy-gated benchmark logic with product, pack-size, and unit-consistency checks before any cohort comparison is shown
