How the exchange works

How hospitality companies exchange business documents

Hotel groups, restaurant brands and foodservice operators buy through distributors and procurement platforms across many locations. Price catalogs keep contract prices consistent at every property, and order confirmations show substitutions before the delivery arrives.

Common documents with hospitality companies

What onboarding a new hospitality partner usually involves

  1. Agree the catalog, contract prices and location codes with each distributor or platform.
  2. Map orders and invoices from many locations to the right cost centers in your ERP.
  3. Test substitutions, credits and price changes as well as standard orders.
