03 / BEFORE WE PUT OUR APRONS ON
Let’s be clear
Can I use BillVent yet?
It’s still in development. This website introduces what we’re building. If you run a restaurant, write to us and tell us what you need.
Who is it being built for?
Restaurants that want to connect purchases, inventory and recipes and better understand the costs of their dishes.
Is the example margin a profit figure?
No. It only subtracts ingredient cost from the sale price excluding VAT. Profit also depends on the other costs of running the business.
Who’s behind it?
Strenu: two colleagues building software products. BillVent is our first step into the restaurant industry.
