"Finally know what each item costs us to make"

5/5

What do you like best about Vaniyo?

What I like most about Vaniyo is that it keeps everything we need to run our restaurant in one place. POS billing, table management, kitchen orders, inventory, purchases and supplier invoices, recipe costing, and staff payroll all connect smoothly, so we’re not juggling separate tools or re-entering the same information.

Recipe costing has been the biggest help for us. It lets us see what each menu item truly costs to make, which makes it easier to price things properly. Stock levels also update as we sell items and receive deliveries, and that has reduced the amount of manual counting we have to do. On top of that, the screens are clean and straightforward for staff to learn, and it works well on my phone when I’m away from the shop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vaniyo?

Vaniyo is still a fairly new product, so a few areas aren’t as mature yet as the core billing and inventory features. The mobile app handles the basics, but it doesn’t currently include everything available on the desktop version, so I still need to go back to the computer for certain tasks. Printer setup took some effort at the beginning, and there’s a lot to configure during the first week—items, recipes, and suppliers—before you really start seeing the full benefit. Some of the newer marketing features, such as SMS campaigns, also seem to still be in the rollout phase. None of this has stopped us from using it every day, and the team has been quick to respond and fix the issues we report. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Vaniyo solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before Vaniyo, we were running the shop using a mix of a billing machine, spreadsheets, and notebooks, and none of it connected. Stock was counted by hand, we often only discovered an ingredient had run out when the kitchen asked for it, and we never really had a clear view of what each item actually cost us to make. Vaniyo fixes this by bringing billing, inventory, purchases, and recipes into one system. Every sale automatically reduces stock, purchases and supplier invoices are captured in the same place, and recipe costing helps us see the true cost and margin for each item. For us, that means less time spent on manual entry and counting, fewer stock surprises, and better pricing decisions because our margins are visible. Having staff attendance and payroll in the same system has also saved us time at month-end, and I can check how the day is going from my phone without needing to be at the shop.
