Receipts · Top 10 spend · Real invoices

You are paying too much for the items you order the most.

The cases you buy every week quietly climb. Presidential Brewing Company in Portage, Michigan emailed their Top 10 spend list to their distributor and came back with tighter pricing on every item: about 14% on the ten they buy the most. Against their invoices, that is about $8,800 in a year.

MenuForge Receipts: 1-month, 3-month, and 6-month ingredient cost change, plus a Top 10 spend rail showing hamburger, chicken fillets, cheese curds, and more with percent drift versus the oldest December prices.
This is the screen Presidential Brewing Company sent. Basket drift for the last 1 / 3 / 6 months, and the ten ingredients that eat the most dollars, with case counts and percent change.

The play takes one afternoon

  1. 1

    See what actually moved

    Invoices update pack cost. The rail ranks the cases you buy the most and shows how far each one has drifted: hamburger, fillets, cheese, chips. Not a guess from last year’s bid.

  2. 2

    Send the Top 10, not a feeling

    Download the report. Your rep sees volume and the current case price on the items that matter. That is a different conversation than “prices feel high.”

  3. 3

    Quantify the win against real purchases

    Apply the new price to the cases you already buy. Presidential’s ~14% on those ten items is about $8,800 in a year. That shows up on a P&L.

Top 10 spend list: Raw Hamburger +4.7%, Chicken Fillets +21.8%, Cheese Curds +12.3%, and more, with case counts.

Your distributor will not hand you this list

Most distributors do not give you an easy Top 10. There is no portal page with the items you buy the most, the cases you pulled, and what you spent. You hunt invoice by invoice, add it up in a spreadsheet, and still miss the ones that quietly climbed.

Not with MenuForge. Receipts already ranks spend and drift from the invoices you already have. Case counts, current case cost, and six-month change sit on one page. Presidential sent that list. The rep saw volume and the current price. That is a different conversation than “prices feel high.”

When chicken fillets are +21.8% and still in your top three, that is the meeting. When hamburger is thousands of dollars of cases, a few points of relief pays for the software many times over.

This is Presidential Brewing Company’s result after sharing their MenuForge Top 10 with their distributor. Your mix, vendor, and contract will differ. The point is the same: walk in with invoice-backed volume and drift, not a hunch.
