Running a hospitality business is hard enough without spending your evenings knee-deep in WhatsApp messages, spreadsheets, and supplier portals. Yet, for most independent pubs, bars, restaurants and cafés, that's the reality of placing stock orders every single week.
You're not alone. We’ve spoken to hundreds of operators juggling 5+ suppliers, each with their own quirky system (or worse: no system). One wrong number, missed delivery, or invoice discrepancy and the whole thing becomes a time-sucking admin spiral.
What if you could keep all your current suppliers - but save 10+ hours every week on ordering, reconciliation, and tracking costs?
That’s exactly what Orders Made Simple (OMS) was built for.
Let’s break it down. Every week, operators are forced to:
Log into multiple supplier portals (or rely on paper price lists from last year)
Fire off orders via WhatsApp, email, or phone - and hope nothing gets missed
Manually copy invoices into spreadsheets (if you’re lucky)
Chase reps for delivery notes or credits
Cross-check pricing every time (because prices always change)
Waste hours trying to figure out what went wrong when the order doesn’t match the bill
Sound familiar?
It’s not just tedious - it’s costly. All that time could be spent on better things: building the menu, training staff, or actually running the business.
There are systems out there, sure. But here’s what we kept hearing:
“It looked great in the demo - but then they said I had to switch all my suppliers.”
“It was built for big hotel groups, not a 2-site bar like mine.”
“The pricing was insane.”
Too many platforms assume you’re happy to overhaul your supply chain, hire an IT team, or commit to a 12-month contract. OMS doesn’t.
Orders Made Simple was built for independent operators, by people who know the pain first-hand. Here’s what it does:
One login for every order – All your suppliers in one place, with your products and prices
Order in seconds – On mobile or desktop. Search, filter, favourite and repeat.
Invoices handled for you – Upload invoices and we match them to your orders, check for price changes, and flag issues
Menu cost tracking – Get real-time food and drink costings, powered by your actual spend
No supplier switching required – We work with your existing suppliers (and your reps still get your business!)
We recently onboarded a 3-site bar group. Before OMS, their manager was spending over 6 hours per site every week just placing and reconciling stock orders.
Now? Orders take under 15 minutes. Invoices are uploaded and reconciled automatically. Food and drink cost reports are available in two clicks. No more late-night spreadsheet sessions.
They didn’t change a single supplier.
We’ll set everything up for you - your suppliers, your prices, your products. You can even test it for free for 30 days.
After that, it’s just £79/month per site for full access. Or stay on the free plan if you just want basic supplier management (we won’t take it personally).
Q: Do I need to change suppliers?
A: Nope. OMS works with your current suppliers. We don’t interfere.
Q: Can my team use this too?
A: Yes! Add your kitchen or bar managers so they can place and track orders themselves.
Q: What if my supplier doesn’t have a system?
A: Even better. OMS replaces the messy WhatsApps and paper trails with proper order records.
Q: Will this help with invoice issues and credits?
A: Absolutely. OMS reconciles invoices and flags any pricing errors or missing items automatically.
Book a quick 15-minute demo and we’ll show you how it works - with your own suppliers. No pushy sales pitch, no strings attached.
Ordering should be simple. Let’s make it that way.
