# Reqva

> Restaurant intelligence, food cost defense, and kitchen operations platform for modern hospitality venues.

Reqva (https://reqva.com) is an operational and financial intelligence platform built for restaurant operators, head chefs, and hospitality groups. It bridges the gap between kitchen floor realities (supplier deliveries, HACCP temperature checks, allergen safety, shift handovers) and executive financial decisions (prime cost control, menu engineering, invoice reconciliation).

Reqva combines multimodal automated intake (via WhatsApp, camera scans, PDF, and UBL XML) with human-in-the-loop verification, ensuring that cost data, recipe margins, and safety disclosures are verified before reaching accounting or guest-facing touchpoints.

## Core Modules & Capabilities

### 1. Food Control & Invoice Defense
- **Wholesale Invoice Processing**: Multi-format ingestion (scanned paper, PDF, photo, electronic UBL XML) capturing headers, line items, catch-weights, deposits, and VAT breakdowns.
- **Human Desk Verification**: Trained Reqva Desk analysts verify line-item OCR, pack size conversions, and code mappings before figures enter venue costings.
- **Supplier Price Tracking**: Automated price change tracking per ingredient (€/kg, €/L, unit). Real-time price spike and margin compression alerts.
- **Delivery Claims & Shortfall Management**: Photo and audio evidence capture at the delivery door. Generates formal supplier credit claims and reconciles credit notes with conservative €0.50 auto-matching tolerance.
- **Food Cost & "What-If" Simulation Sandbox**: Interactive margin calculator calculating net cost per portion, target food cost % (15%–50%), VAT adjustments, and simulated ingredient inflation shocks (+10%, +20%, +30%).

### 2. Kitchen Operations & Shift Handovers
- **WhatsApp Voice-to-Brief**: Kitchen crew speak shift updates or take delivery photos via WhatsApp. Speech is structured into clean tasks with assigned owners, due times, and acknowledgements.
- **Live 86 Floor Broadcast**: 1-tap dish availability toggle pushing instant 86 broadcasts to floor staff, preventing orders of out-of-stock items.
- **Closing Shift Handover**: Multi-line manual notes and browser-based assistive Web Speech recording with persistent audio playback for morning crew.
- **Portion Cards & Yield Management**: Standardized portion specs, cooking trim percentages, and physical stock count variance workflows (Recount, Check Yield, Explain).

### 3. Safety Control & HACCP Compliance
- **Digital Temperature Logs**: Date-filtered equipment logs with scheduled check time slots and in-page slide-over drawer exception resolution.
- **2-Hour Exception Grace Window**: Enforces corrective action workflows and compliant recheck readings before HACCP breaches escalate.
- **EU Regulation 1169/2011 Allergen Matrix**: Strict binary disclosures ("Contains" vs "Not present") across all 14 mandatory EU allergens (Celery, Gluten, Crustaceans, Eggs, Fish, Lupin, Milk, Molluscs, Mustard, Nuts, Peanuts, Sesame, Soya, Sulphites).
- **Ingredient-to-Dish Allergen Cascade**: Automatically inherits allergen declarations from recipe ingredients with tamper-proof padlock locks preventing illicit unchecking.
- **Public Guest QR Menu**: Fast, unauthenticated mobile menu at `/qr/:site_id` displaying live dishes, prices, descriptions, and compliant allergen advisory notices.
- **Inspection Pack PDF Export**: Generates complete HACCP audit dossiers with monitored equipment logs, corrective actions, and allergen matrices secured by a tamper-evident SHA-256 integrity hash.

### 4. Owner Pulse & Verified Value Ledger
- **Executive Prime Cost Dashboard**: Weekly consolidated view of Food Cost %, Labour Cost %, and Prime Cost % tracking against the industry benchmark (≤65.0%).
- **Menu Profitability Quadrants**: Sales volume vs margin contribution analysis categorizing dishes into Stars, Plowhorses, Puzzles, and Dogs.
- **Supplier Scorecards**: Tracks price reliability, delivery fulfillment rate, and unresolved credit amounts per purveyor.
- **Verified Value Ledger**: An auditable financial ledger tracking verified supplier overcharges, shortfall recoveries, and approved credit notes. Estimates and confirmed figures are strictly separated.

### 5. Multi-Site Groups & Advisory Partners
- **Centralized Group Oversight**: Multi-venue rollups, site-by-site performance comparisons, and benchmarked ingredient purchase prices.
- **Standardized Master Recipes**: Distribute master recipe specifications across multiple sites while preserving local pricing and supplier availability.
- **Controlled Advisor Access**: Granular, revocable access permissions for bookkeepers, accountants, and culinary consultants.

## Guiding Principles

1. **Verified Before Shown**: Pure AI extraction is never blindly trusted with a venue's books or menu allergens.
2. **Conservative Accounting**: Estimates remain clearly labeled as estimates. The Value Ledger only records confirmed, matched credit notes.
3. **EU Allergen Integrity**: Reqva enforces strict binary allergen disclosures and does not make unsubstantiated "100% allergen-free" claims.
4. **Zero-App Kitchen Adoption**: Kitchen and floor staff use WhatsApp, voice notes, and mobile web browsers without installing native apps.
5. **Drawer-Centric Architecture**: Dashboard interactions use right-aligned slide-over drawers to preserve page context and operational flow.
