Every capability is live today — not a roadmap item. This is what happens the moment you upload your first invoice.
01
Reads Every Invoice
Upload any vendor invoice — PDF or photo from your phone. Sharkey extracts vendor name, invoice number, date, and every category total in under 30 seconds. Food, paper, chemical, uniform, linen, waste, pest control — all separated and categorized without you touching a number.
"Scanned PFG invoice — $8,701.90 total. Food: $8,643.68 · Chemical: $58.22. P&L updated for April."
02
Detects Price Changes
Every line item on every invoice is compared to your previous delivery from the same vendor. If anything moves more than 10% — up or down — Sharkey flags it immediately. You know before you place your next order, not after you've already paid the new price.
"Cracker Barrel Coffee Regular up 18% — $120.87 → $142.50 vs last PFG delivery. Alert fired."
03
canFreeze™ — Buy Low Alerts
When a price drops significantly versus your last order, canFreeze™ fires a recommendation to stock up before the price returns. This is the kind of intelligence a seasoned buyer has after 20 years — built into the platform from day one.
"Beef Patties down 12% — $38.50 → $33.80/CS. canFreeze™: Stock up before next price cycle."
04
Answers Operational Questions
Ask Sharkey anything about your operation in plain language. Prime cost trends, labor variance, best and worst weeks, food cost by month, check average history — it pulls from your actual workbook data and gives you a direct answer. No reports to run. No spreadsheets to open.
"Your prime cost last month was 58.2% — labor ran 1.8% above target due to Friday/Saturday overtime in Week 3."
05
Compares Vendors
Upload a competitor's price sheet and Sharkey extracts every category, compares it line by line against your current vendor pricing, and recommends the best split — who wins on proteins, who wins on paper goods, whether splitting orders makes financial sense. The work that used to take hours takes 30 seconds.
"US Foods wins on paper goods by 8.2%. PFG wins on proteins. Recommend split order — estimated monthly savings: $340."

Mr. Sharkey Insights™
Automatic intelligence that runs in the background — no questions required. Cross-references your invoices, labor data, and sales history to surface priority-ranked alerts. High. Medium. Low. When ribeye drops and Tuesday is your slowest night, Mr. Sharkey tells you to run a special before you even think to ask.
"HIGH: Labor trending 2.1% above target — Week 3. Recommend cutting one Sunday AM position before Friday."
