The hospitality challenge

The paperwork
keeps coming.

Supplier invoices, receipts for small purchases and photos on a phone all need to be dealt with. In hospitality, there can be a lot of them.

Reading, entering and checking each document takes time away from managing service and running the business.

We wanted to spend less time typing information from documents and more time checking it, especially when working through batches of receipt photos.

Why this approach

AI processing
with low running costs.

We use AI to interpret receipt and invoice content and extract the information needed for the next step. The job goes beyond recognising text: that information needs to be ready for review and reconciliation.

Running costs matter when you’re processing lots of everyday purchase receipts. We designed the approach to keep those costs low while reducing manual entry.

People still review and reconcile the information before it moves into the accounting workflow.

The solution approach

How processing works

The process covers receipt photos and supplier invoices, from extraction through to accounting.

01 / The documents

Receipt photos and invoices

Work through documents in the volumes a hospitality business generates.

02 / AI interpretation

AI extraction

AI interprets the document and extracts information that would otherwise need to be typed in.

03 / Review & reconcile

Review and reconciliation

Check the extracted information and reconcile it before the next accounting step.

04 / Accounting workflows

Receipt and invoice processing with low running costs.

The business value

Less manual entry
after service.

The aim is to reduce the time spent entering receipt and invoice information, make review easier and keep processing costs low.

AI handles the repetitive extraction work. People spend their time checking the information and dealing with the items that need attention.
