Restaurant-Focused Invoice Processing Automation
Start making better decisions for your restaurant operation
Restaurant invoices contain a treasure trove of insights just waiting to be unlocked. Invoice processing automation is the skeleton key!
Now more than ever, the restaurant industry is under pressure to do more with less.
You need greater insight into your operation and finances so you can make more informed decisions—which means you need the proper tools in place to identify these insights.
This starts with invoice management. Your invoices hold the critical details you need to properly track your costs and optimize spend across your operation.
xtraCHEF by Toast provides restaurant-specific invoice processing automation that extracts critical details from each invoice. Our platform highlights what you’re spending your hard-earned cash on and who you’re spending it with.

Our Invoice Processing Automation software is built specifically for restaurants
We combine machine learning technology with highly trained, quality control operators to take data entry & paperwork off your plate – without sacrificing timeliness, accuracy or oversight.

Invoice Processing Automation is our bread and butter
We offer the restaurant industry’s most reliable and most accurate line-item recognition and extraction software.
xtraCHEF by Toast automatically digitizes, itemizes and categorizes line-item details from all of your payables, including:
- handwritten/paper invoices
- cable, utility, etc. bills
- receipts
- emails/pdfs
- EDI

Invoice line-item details are our secret ingredient.
As you digitize invoices with xtraCHEF, you’re building a product catalog of every item you’ve ever purchased — tracking what you paid, from which vendor, and how the unit price changes over time.
Use this product catalog to build recipes, track ingredient price trends, manage your on-hand inventory value, and so much more.

Let xtraCHEF do your dirty work.
