A day in the business
Illustrative scenario, not a customer story. Adapt the template to your currency, language and workflow.
Imagine a caterer in Bristol: confirm a weekend event, record its deposit, check upcoming deliveries and collect the remaining balance after service.

Business features you can turn on
Features marked on are available from the start. Turn the others on when you need them.
- Cost per portionOn from the start
- Enter each ingredient's purchase price once, then each menu item's ingredients and amounts; Sora works out the ingredient cost per portion and the profit against the price. Chilli got dearer? Change it once and every item using it follows.
- Attendance & pay
- Staff clock in and out from their phones; the owner sees days present and estimated pay.
- Loan report
- A tidy month-by-month report to print and show a bank or cooperative when applying for a loan.
