Hubbl For restaurants
For independent restaurantsYour suppliers deserve one home, not seven notebooks.
Every restaurant we’ve spoken to says the same thing: they don’t distrust their suppliers, they distrust software. Hubbl is the operating platform independent hospitality actually trusts — built for the way you already work, not the way an app wants you to.
The problem
Your supplier operations live in ten different places.
A notebook for the fishmonger. A WhatsApp thread with the veg supplier. A drawer of paper invoices. A spreadsheet Grace maintains on Sundays. It works — barely — but it’s costing you hours a week and leaving money on the table.
4–6h
Spent per week on supplier admin — orders, chase-ups, invoice filing, reconciliation — time not spent on food or guests.
28–35%
Of revenue spent on food and ingredients — the biggest cost line in your business, and the least well tracked.
Six suppliers. Six order flows. One kitchen holding it all in its head.
A typical independent orders from six or seven suppliers each week — produce, meat, fish, dairy, drinks, dry goods, cleaning. Every one has a different way of taking orders, a different price list, a different invoice format, a different rep.
The tools that exist for this — Choco, Rekki — were built to sell software to suppliers. They ask you to move your suppliers onto their platform, learn a new system, and hand over your relationships. Most independents look at that and say “no thanks” — and they’re right to.
Hubbl is built the other way round. Your suppliers stay your suppliers. Your data stays yours. The platform quietly gets on with the boring bits: keeping every contact, order, invoice and note in one place, so you can actually see what’s going on in your own business.
Free, forever, for the platform. We only earn later — and only if we save you money.
The solution
One home for every supplier. One habit that changes everything.
Hubbl is a supplier operations platform for the way independents actually work. Every supplier you use, every order you place, every invoice you receive — in one place. No switching suppliers. No sharing your list. No lock-in. Just the operating layer your kitchen has been missing.
How it works for you
Nothing about your kitchen has to change.
-
Every supplier in one place.Add each supplier once — contact, categories, price list, notes, contract terms. Never search a WhatsApp thread again.
-
Log an order in 30 seconds.Snap the invoice, tap confirm. Everything gets tagged to the right supplier, the right week, the right category — automatically.
-
Spot the sneaky price hikes.When your fresh fish supplier tries to slip in a 12% increase, Hubbl shows it. Six months of price history at a glance.
-
Answers when your accountant asks.“What did we spend with Bidfood last quarter?” — one tap. No rooting through a drawer of invoices at year-end.
Later
Pooled buying, only when you’re ready. Once the platform is doing its job, we open opt-in group orders with nearby independents — order by order, transparent take rate, no lock-in. Free CRM stays free, always.
