CateringHarvest Moon feeds up to 12,000 people in a single service. Per-vendor EDI fees and unsupported suppliers kept the team stuck typing invoices — until one subscription captured every vendor.
Harvest Moon tracked food costs with an inventory system, but keying each vendor invoice line by line still swallowed seven to ten hours every month.
Its EDI add-on was billed per vendor, so costs escalated fast — and several specialty suppliers didn’t support EDI at all. With only partial automation, Frank’s team stayed stuck in data entry instead of price analysis and menu R&D. They needed a single-subscription platform that captured invoices from every vendor.
Harvest Moon chose SpoonFed Data for its ease of use, sensible pricing, and rapid time-to-value. After about a month mapping vendor order codes to inventory items, invoice processing became a quick review-and-approve task instead of a typing marathon.
Invoices are captured through the mobile or web app as JPG, PNG, or PDF; staff spot-check totals instead of re-keying every line; and SpoonFed pushes clean data straight into the inventory system with no extra import or export steps.
“SpoonFed turned data entry into a quick review, and now we can focus on crafting menus and sharpening our costs. I would definitely recommend SpoonFed Data to any restaurant operator looking to streamline their workflow.”Frank Debons · Executive Chef, Harvest Moon Catering
Invoice workload dropped 70% — from seven to ten hours a month down to just two or three. Decisions now run on today’s prices, not last week’s, and predictable, data-driven forecasts replaced guesswork.
Most importantly, talent was unleashed: staff shifted from typing to price analysis and menu R&D, turning reclaimed hours into strategic growth.
