From invoice to insight — every important answer traceable to its source. GMAI turns food-and-beverage purchasing data into verified recipe, menu, and margin intelligence, without replacing the systems your operation already depends on.
Paolo Fontana · Founder
Every food-and-beverage operation produces the data it needs — invoices, recipes, price books, menus, POS exports, banquet documents. But the pieces don't connect.
A vendor changes a case size while the case price stays the same. No one sees which recipes it affects.
Costs are rising, but there is no quick, defensible way to show management exactly why.
The variance is visible in the financials, but the culinary story behind it isn't.
An event menu contracted months ago erodes quietly as ingredient costs move.
Your POS records sales. Accounting records spend. Recipes live in spreadsheets. Invoices live in a drawer. The decisions live in between.
No system traces a purchasing change through ingredients, recipes, menus, and events to the margin decision.
Disconnected purchasing documents become structured, usable information.
Purchasing changes traced through ingredients, recipes, menus, and events.
Understandable answers with inspectable evidence behind every number.
Works alongside your POS, accounting, and club-management systems. Nothing is replaced.
GMAI reads purchasing documents from multiple vendors.
Items, packs, units, and prices are identified and checked.
Information becomes normalized, usable ingredient costs.
Costs flow into recipes with yields handled correctly.
Margin changes surface across menus, events, and operations.
Every answer carries inspectable evidence behind it.
The real product is not document reading. It is the verified decision that becomes possible once the invoice is understood.
Turn disconnected purchasing and operational documents into structured, usable information.
Trace purchasing changes through ingredients, recipes, menus, and events.
Give chefs and managers understandable answers with inspectable evidence.
Visibility into where food-and-beverage margin is moving, before it shows up as a variance you have to explain. One defensible set of numbers across culinary and finance.
Every cost figure ties back to a source document, so month-end analysis starts from evidence instead of archaeology — and the culinary context arrives attached.
When costs rise, show exactly which vendor moved, on which item, and what it did to your recipes — in minutes, not a weekend of spreadsheets.
Banquet menus contracted months out are checked against the costs you're actually paying today, so margin erosion surfaces early enough to act.
Answers that reach the board carry their evidence with them — an inspectable trail from the figure on the page back to the invoice that set it.
Every important answer links back to the document it came from.
Uncertain or financially important extractions go to a person, not a guess.
Your club's data is structurally separated from every other operation's.
Chefs, controllers, and managers each see what their role requires.
Costs carry their history: what changed, when, from which document.
Your information remains yours, with controls to take it or remove it.
MODERN MULTI-TENANT ARCHITECTURE · ROLE-AWARE ACCESS · DOCUMENT PROVENANCE
Forward product direction — not current functionality.
Detect changing pack sizes, billed weights, and effective unit-cost changes that case-price comparisons miss.
Compare future contracted event menus with changing purchasing costs to catch projected margin erosion early.
Connect delivery exceptions, shortages, and vendor statements to identify missing credits.
Weigh sales velocity, ingredient cost, prep labor, usable yield, and waste volatility — beyond classic popularity-vs-profit grids.
Organize verified spend, price movement, and discrepancy evidence into a professional package for vendor conversations.
GMAI was not conceived in a software boardroom. It grew from years of trying to make difficult food-and-beverage decisions from disconnected invoices, recipes, spreadsheets, reports, and institutional knowledge.
Paolo Fontana has spent his career inside hospitality operations: executive culinary leadership, private-club and general management, restaurant ownership, culinary education, recipe development, and food-cost and financial oversight.
GMAI reflects that experience — a product that respects how chefs, controllers, GMs, and ownership actually work through service, month-end, menu changes, banquets, and vendor problems.
The Founding Club Program is for a small group of clubs and serious F&B operations willing to work directly with the founder during a controlled rollout. Participation is limited.
Request a Founding Club ReviewDirect founder involvement, priority onboarding of your vendors and recipes, and influence over the product roadmap.
Real invoices and recipes to work with, honest operational feedback, and a monthly working session with your culinary and finance leads.
A working review of your operation with the founder — your documents, your menus, your questions. No obligation follows.
No. GMAI is an intelligence layer, not a ledger. It reads your purchasing documents and connects them to recipes, menus, and margins — your accounting system remains the system of record, and nothing is replaced.
No. GMAI works alongside your POS, accounting, and club-management systems. They keep doing their jobs; GMAI connects what they can't see between each other.
Documents run through OCR-assisted extraction with confidence scoring. Anything uncertain — or financially important — is routed to human review. A person confirms it, not a guess.
Yes. Provenance is the product. Every important answer links back to its source document, and costs carry their history: what changed, when, and from which document.
GMAI is built first for private clubs and serious F&B operations. If your operation runs on invoices, recipes, menus, and events, the intelligence chain applies.
A conversation and a handful of recent invoices. There is no rip-and-replace project — your existing systems stay exactly where they are.
Structured tenant boundaries keep your club's data separated from every other operation's. Role-aware access controls who sees what, and an audit history records what changed and when.
Your information remains yours. Export and deletion controls are built in — you can take your data with you or have it removed.
GMAI starts from the documents you already receive, so no integration is required to begin. Current and planned integrations are reviewed together during the Founding Club conversation.
Request a Founding Club Review. It takes one conversation and a handful of your invoices. Nothing is replaced, nothing is committed, and participation is limited.
