Every part of the back office, built to work together
Marlo isn't five tools stitched together with exports and spreadsheets. Recipe costing, inventory, vendor management, budgeting, and POS data all read from the same numbers.
Recipe Costing
Build recipes once — down to the sub-recipe and modifier — and let Marlo keep the cost current as vendor prices move. See margin by dish, by station, or by menu the moment you make a change.
- Automatic recost when vendor pricing changes
- Sub-recipes, yields, and modifiers built in
- Margin visibility by dish, category, or menu
- Menu engineering views to spot low-margin items

Inventory Management
Count by shelf order on any phone or tablet, track usage against theoretical, and catch variance before it becomes a line item on next month's P&L.
- Mobile counts organized by storage location
- Theoretical vs. actual usage variance tracking
- Par-level and reorder alerts by item
- Multi-location inventory in one view

Vendor Management
Send orders to vendors, capture invoices as they arrive, and let Marlo match them automatically — so pricing discrepancies surface before they eat your margin.
- Guided ordering based on par levels and usage
- Automatic invoice capture and PO matching
- Price-change alerts by vendor and item
- Centralized vendor and contract records

Budgeting
Set budgets by category and location, then watch them stay current against real POS sales and vendor spend — no more reconciling three spreadsheets to find out where you stand.
- Budget vs. actual by category and location
- Labor and prime cost tracking alongside COGS
- Rolling forecasts based on live sales data
- Exportable reporting for owners and investors
