Supplier pricing
Watch the drift
Spot products and suppliers that are moving out of line before it becomes a month-end surprise.
Pepper is the operator on watch when the week gets noisy.
Restaurant owners and managers do not need more dashboards. They need a faster way to ask what they are paying, understand where they are exposed, and get told what deserves attention before margin slips.

How Pepper works
One assistant. Three modes of work.

Start with the questions operators already care about instead of waiting for a full rollout before anything useful appears.
02
Benchmark
Bring in market context, contribution-driven benchmarks, and supplier intelligence so answers mean something commercially.
03
Stay ahead
Let Pepper shift from answer engine to watchful assistant as more restaurant systems and signals are connected.

FAQ
Questions operators ask before they hire Pepper.
How much does Pepper cost?
Pricing starts from R799 per month. The intended pitch is that Pepper should quickly pay for herself by helping operators spot meaningful cost opportunities early.
How does the database work, and where do the prices come from?
Pepper pulls live pricing data from a large African food-cost database built from real industry paperwork such as invoices and delivery notes. That gives operators a current market view of what looks fair, inflated, or worth challenging.
What if I do not want to change suppliers?
That is fine. Pepper is not there to force supplier changes. If the current supplier is offering good value, Pepper should help confirm that. If a better market price exists, she gives the operator stronger context for negotiation.
How do I know I am getting like-for-like comparisons and the same quality ingredients?
Pepper is meant to cut costs, not corners. She compares products on details like brand, grade, pack size, and quality so a better price should reflect a genuine like-for-like alternative rather than a downgrade.
I do not have time to learn new software. How long will it take for me to be onboarded?
About four minutes. The intended experience is as simple as using WhatsApp: no heavy software rollout, no real training burden, and no complicated setup before Pepper becomes useful.
What if I do not have time to act on the new pricing info Pepper finds?
That is exactly why Pepper exists. She is meant to do the chasing and legwork so operators can decide what they want done without adding another long admin list to the day.
What is the catch with the money-back guarantee?
There is not meant to be one. The offer is positioned as a straight three-month money-back guarantee if the experience does not deliver.
How do I know Pepper will not run wild and do what she wants?
Pepper should act like an assistant, not an unchecked autonomous system. She shows the options, waits for direction, and only acts when the operator gives the go-ahead.
