Snap a photo or upload an invoice

Take a photo of a paper invoice with your phone, upload a PDF, or forward emails to your unique Rinvy address. Rinvy reads the document for you. Line items are extracted, matched to your products, and turned into a receipt. Anything it cannot match waits for you to review.

  • Snap a photo, upload a PDF, or forward an email
  • AI extracts line items, quantities, and costs from any format
  • Lines matched by supplier item code, and Rinvy remembers every match you confirm

Execute recipes and track prep

Define your recipes once with ingredients, quantities, and yield โ€” or scan a recipe photo or PDF and let AI extract everything for you. When your prep cook executes a recipe, Rinvy automatically deducts ingredient quantities from inventory and adds the output product. Unit conversions are handled automatically.

  • Scan a recipe photo or PDF โ€” AI extracts ingredients, quantities, and instructions
  • Define recipes with ingredients and expected yield
  • Auto-deduct ingredients from inventory on execution
  • Output products tracked as recipe-made items

Track waste with reasons

When food goes bad, log it with a reason โ€” Expired, Spoiled, Damaged, Overprep, Dropped, Contaminated, or Other. By default, waste deducts from inventory. Toggle "record only" to log for reporting without changing stock levels.

  • Predefined waste reasons for consistent tracking
  • "Record only" mode for reporting without inventory changes
  • Estimated cost calculated from receipt history
