Born inside hospitality
We built Garlic because we needed it.
We run a hospitality business. We needed a clearer way to understand our costs and make better decisions before the money had gone.
The gap we found
We couldn’t see what was changing our margin.
Every order, price change and wasted product affected what the business kept. But orders, delivery notes, stock counts and recipes all lived in different places.
We could see the margin slipping. Understanding why meant piecing everything together after it had happened.
We needed those everyday decisions in one place, while there was still time to act.
That became Garlic.
Why it matters
A business that feels better to run.
A healthier margin means room to pay the team properly, improve the kitchen and absorb a difficult month.
It also means making decisions without carrying quite so much weight home. We want Garlic to bring operators less stress, more confidence and more joy in the business they worked so hard to build.
Looking ahead
Closer to the people behind the food.
Our longer-term ambition is to help operators find excellent local suppliers and build better relationships. Fewer unnecessary layers between the people producing food and the people serving it.
For now, that starts with giving operators a clearer view of the business they run today.
