Your hotel purchasing agents are still placing orders by phone. Your multi-location restaurants are managing food and supplies across spreadsheets. Different departments order from different suppliers at different prices. Your F&B team wastes 2 to 4 thousand dollars monthly on spoiled inventory. Uncap's B2B ecommerce platform purpose-built for hospitality distributors connects hotels, restaurants, and multi-site operators to centralized ordering, real-time inventory, tiered pricing, and automated approvals. Cut your technology costs by over 30% while your properties focus on guest experience.
Your hospitality procurement is still stuck in 2010
Eighty percent of hospitality operations still manage procurement manually or semi-digitally. Your purchasing agents coordinate with multiple vendors by phone and email. Your multi-location properties order independently, missing out on volume discounts and consistency. Different departments buy outside the system when they get impatient. Your inventory is fragmented across spreadsheets. Perishable goods expire faster than you can track. Seasonal demand swings leave you overstocked or understocked. Your suppliers are frustrated. Your guests experience inconsistency. And your technology bill keeps climbing.
Key pain points holding you back
- Eighty percent still managing procurement manually: Your purchasing agents spend hours coordinating with vendors by phone, email, and paper forms. Purchase orders, approvals, and requisitions move at the speed of voicemail. Order processing creates bottlenecks. Mistakes happen. Time that should be spent on operations gets wasted on administrative work.
- Multiple locations ordering independently: Your restaurant group has five locations. Each orders from different suppliers at different prices. Your hotel chain manages a hundred properties. Each handles its own inventory and procurement. You're leaving tens of thousands on the table by not consolidating volume across locations.
- Maverick spending destroying procurement control: Purchasing agents get impatient waiting for approvals. They buy from unauthorized suppliers. Managers order supplies directly to bypass the process. Your purchasing power fragments. You lose compliance visibility. Budgets go sideways.
- Perishable goods waste draining your margin: Your hotels and restaurants waste 2 to 4 thousand dollars monthly on spoiled food. Fresh produce, dairy, and meats expire faster than you can use them. Inventory tracking is manual and inaccurate. Rotation is inconsistent across properties. Waste compounds in high-volume operations.
- Seasonal demand forecasting is a guessing game: Summer brings beach resort peaks. Winter holidays spike banquet demand. You forecast wrong and capital sits tied up in inventory. You forecast low and miss revenue. Demand planning across multiple departments and locations is chaos.
- ERP completely disconnected from procurement: Your purchasing system has no idea what your inventory system knows. Your vendors don't know what your properties actually need. Orders don't automatically sync. Pricing doesn't update. It's 2026. This should be automatic.
