RestaurantA beloved 60-year-old restaurant had already cut food costs with an inventory system — but manual invoice entry was quietly eating the savings. SpoonFed automated it in days.
For nearly two years, Dinty’s had used an inventory control system that delivered real improvements in cost of goods sold. But one bottleneck remained: purchase data still had to be entered by hand, invoice by invoice.
The time and labor that manual entry demanded were gradually chipping away at those margin gains. As Jim put it, “We achieved significant reductions in food costs, but the savings were wasted because of manual data entry.”
After exploring other options, Dinty’s found most were either too expensive or unnecessarily complex — none solved the one repetitive task draining the team’s time.
SpoonFed Data is an AI-powered OCR platform that extracts line-item data from invoices and receipts with high accuracy. Within days, Dinty’s moved from manual entry to fully automated invoice processing — without disrupting operations.
Accessible on both mobile and desktop, the platform eliminated manual entry, processed invoices in one-tenth the time, drastically reduced errors, and freed up labor hours for higher-value work.
“The result has been fantastic. SpoonFed saved us days every week, and now we can focus on growing the business.”Jim Sourges · Owner, Dinty’s Restaurant
The impact was immediate and measurable: significant cost savings from reduced labor, and a team that could finally focus on running operations instead of typing. What used to take days each week now takes just hours.
Today, Dinty’s runs a leaner, more scalable back office. Instead of reviewing and inputting invoices line by line, the process runs in the background — accurately, reliably, and automatically.
