Case Study

PontoFlow: invoice-to-variance control for churrascaria operations.

PontoFlow shows how a Brazilian steakhouse can move from scattered invoices, counts, sales inputs, waste logs, comps, and manager checks into one operating workflow for month-end control.

Demo Workflow

PontoFlow

PontoFlow is a Brazilian steakhouse operations concept for invoice AI, purchase review, inventory counts, recipes, sales, waste, comps, variance, and multi-location closeout.

Operating Flow

From messy supplier invoice to monthly variance report.

Churrascaria margin control is not one dashboard. It is the chain between supplier invoices, purchase matching, inventory counts, recipe usage, drink sales, waste, comps, protein cost per head, pour cost, and location closeout. If those inputs live in separate spreadsheets, managers only see the leak after the month is already gone.

Claude Vision invoice AI for PDFs, phone photos, crooked scans, and low-contrast pages

Purchase review that matches invoice rows to inventory items and remembers the link next time

Mobile inventory counts for protein, alcohol, and general categories

Item, recipe, and drink sales workflows that feed theoretical usage

Waste, comps, and variance views that keep margin leaks visible

Multi-location reporting for cost per head, pour cost, purchases, inventory delta, and closeout summaries

Problem

The workflow problem behind the build.

Churrascaria margin control is not one dashboard. It is the chain between supplier invoices, purchase matching, inventory counts, recipe usage, drink sales, waste, comps, protein cost per head, pour cost, and location closeout. If those inputs live in separate spreadsheets, managers only see the leak after the month is already gone.

Expected operating outcomes

Questions this answers

What does PontoFlow automate?

The concept connects invoice extraction, purchase review, inventory counts, item and recipe setup, drink sales, waste, comps, variance, reporting, and multi-location closeout into one restaurant operating workflow.

Is PontoFlow only for Brazilian steakhouses?

The demo is shaped around a churrascaria because protein cost per head, rodizio service, waste, and closeout discipline matter there. The same approach can be adapted to other high-variance restaurant operations.
