Restaurant & Hospitality
Management Platform
Technology We Used
Project Overview
An Australian restaurant group was processing vendor invoices, delivery notes, purchase orders, and inventory paperwork manually across multiple locations. Procurement visibility was limited, approval cycles slowed, and back-office teams struggled to keep operational records in one place. Starling Elevate built a restaurant and hospitality management platform to digitize documents and automate back-office workflows.
The eight-month project combined AWS Textract, Claude Sonnet, and hospitality workflow automation to extract supplier details, purchasing records, delivery information, and inventory updates from operational documents.
Restaurant managers and back-office staff upload invoices and supplier records into a pipeline where OCR captures document data, AI validates and classifies entries, and automated workflows route approvals across procurement, inventory, and operational processes.
The platform scope covered document collection from multiple locations, OCR processing, operational data extraction, validation and classification, workflow automation, and a unified restaurant control center for procurement, inventory, and supplier records.
Why Restaurants Needed Smarter Operations Management
Restaurant businesses manage a continuous flow of vendor invoices, supplier delivery notes, purchase orders, inventory records, and operational paperwork. As restaurant operations grow, manual document management can create administrative bottlenecks, slow decision-making, and limit visibility into procurement and inventory activities.
Manual processing of vendor invoices, supplier delivery notes and purchase orders.
Limited visibility into procurement and inventory activities.
Time-consuming document tracking across restaurant locations.
Delays in approvals, invoice processing and operational workflows.
Difficulty maintaining centralized operational records.
Increasing administrative workloads across hospitality operations.
