All-in-one supplier ordering & menu costing app for Australian Venue Co venues

All-in-one supplier ordering & menu costing app for Australian Venue Co venues

Australian Venue Co (AVC) is a leading hospitality group with over 150 venues across Australia. The AVC Ordering App, powered by The Open Pantry platform, is a mobile solution that streamlines how AVC venues manage their supply orders and kitchen operations. This app serves as a one-stop hub for venue managers to order from all approved suppliers, track orders, and manage menu costs under one umbrella system. Consolidated Supplier Ordering: The app brings together all of Australian Venue Co’s suppliers into a single interface. Instead of juggling multiple ordering systems or phone calls, venue staff can browse supplier catalogs, place orders, and re-order regular items in one place. Real-time updates and order history tracking ensure nothing falls through the cracks, reducing errors and saving time. Whether it's fresh produce or beverages, every supply order across the AVC network can be managed centrally with ease. Menu Costing & Management Tools: Beyond ordering, the AVC app includes tools for menu management and cost control. Chefs and managers can input recipes or menu items and instantly calculate ingredient costs using up-to-date pricing from suppliers. This menu costing feature helps AVC venues maintain profitability and make data-driven decisions when designing menus or specials. By understanding plate costs and margins, venues can optimize pricing or adjust recipes as needed. Streamlined Operations Under One Company: Since the system is used across all AVC venues, best practices and data are shared company-wide. Managers can analyze spending and forecast needs with greater accuracy. Corporate oversight is enhanced, as head office gets visibility into ordering patterns and can ensure compliance with preferred suppliers and budgets across the group. This unified approach under the Australian Venue Co umbrella improves efficiency and consistency in procurement and kitchen management. Secure Access & Support: The Australian Venue Co app is designed for authorized AVC personnel and requires secure login credentials. Data is protected and synced across devices, allowing managers to place orders or check updates from anywhere. With an intuitive interface tailored to hospitality operations, staff training is minimal and teams can get up to speed quickly. Users also have access to dedicated support via The Open Pantry (in-app, email, or phone) to resolve any issues promptly.
