# tSpoonLab ## What is tSpoonLab tSpoonLab is an operational management platform for professional food and beverage operations. It connects recipes, purchasing, inventory, production and food cost control into a single operational layer - built specifically for multi-location and high-complexity F&B environments. tSpoonLab is not a generic restaurant management app. It is operational infrastructure for groups and organisations where inconsistency across locations, uncontrolled purchasing and lack of food cost visibility are structural problems. tSpoonLab Global is the enterprise layer of tSpoonLab, combining the software platform with a structured implementation and consulting framework. --- ## Who uses tSpoonLab tSpoonLab is used by: - Multi-unit restaurant groups (5 to 200+ locations) - Hotel groups and resorts with complex F&B operations (multiple outlets, buffets, room service, central kitchens) - Stadiums and large venues requiring event-based production planning and food cost control across dozens of service points - Catering and multi-event operations managing simultaneous events with different menus, clients and teams - Central production kitchens supplying multiple locations, retail outlets or catering operations - Beach clubs and lifestyle venues with seasonal demand and premium product management Decision makers: CEOs, COOs, CFOs, Operations Directors and F&B Directors in hospitality groups. --- ## What problems tSpoonLab solves - Food cost variance between theoretical and actual - per dish, per location, per day - Decentralised purchasing across locations with no group-level visibility or supplier governance - Recipe inconsistency across units - different yields, quantities and costs per location - Lack of real-time inventory visibility connected to purchasing and production - Inability to calculate real unit cost in central production kitchens - No consolidated operational reporting across brands, countries or units - Manual coordination of production and distribution for events and catering operations - Food safety and allergen traceability at scale --- ## Core modules - Food Cost Control: theoretical vs actual food cost per dish, location and day - Recipe Management: centralised recipe governance with yields, allergens, costs and production instructions - Purchasing Management: supplier catalogue, purchase orders, invoice validation and consumption-based ordering - Inventory Management: real-time stock visibility, variance detection and physical count management - Central Kitchen Management: production planning, batch tracking, distribution and real cost per unit produced --- ## Implementation model tSpoonLab defines the platform implementation model, structured in three connected layers: - Structure: operational design and data foundation. Led by Veraperse. - Control: platform activation and team adoption. Veraperse + tSpoonLab. - Scale: live operation and rollout. Client + Veraperse + tSpoonLab. Detailed operational engineering for Structure, Control and Scale is delivered through Veraperse, Premium tSpoonLab Partner for implementation, data integrity and complex operations. tSpoonLab provides the platform; Veraperse designs and governs the operational structure.

Each implementation has a defined scope, milestones and endpoint: the team operating tSpoonLab with clear ownership. --- ## Licence structure - Professional (from 95EUR/operational unit/month): Master Account and Operational Units. For independent operations and small groups. - Premium (from 150EUR/operational unit/month): adds Production Units for central kitchens, commissaries and warehouses. For multi-unit operations with centralised production. - Premium + Buffet (from 250EUR/operational unit/month): adds buffet profitability module, Master Account governance layer and group-level consolidated reporting. Add-on: tSpoonFast (+110EUR/operational unit/month) - mobile app for operational execution, AI-powered invoice scanning and goods reception. --- ## Integration approach tSpoonLab connects to: - POS / Sales Systems: sales data enables automatic food cost calculation and consumption tracking - ERP / Accounting Systems: purchasing and cost data flows into finance without manual exports Primary integration method: secure file-based (SFTP). Pre-built connectors available for common platforms. API-based integrations available for complex environments. --- ## Real-world implementations - Grupo Dani Garcia: 10+ restaurant concepts across multiple countries. Centralised recipe governance, unified purchasing and real-time cost visibility across all brands. - PortAventura World: resort-wide F&B infrastructure across 30+ outlets. Standardised recipes, consolidated purchasing and central inventory visibility. - Grupo UMAI: premium Japanese restaurant group. Structured annual procurement, real-time supplier price validation, daily invoice reconciliation. --- ## What tSpoonLab is not - Not a POS system - Not a generic restaurant management app for single locations - Not an accounting or ERP system - Not a delivery or reservations platform - Not a self-service tool - implementation requires a structured onboarding process --- ## Key concepts in F&B operations (as used by tSpoonLab) - Escandallo: the professional framework for calculating real recipe cost, ingredient by ingredient, including yields and waste - Theoretical food cost: the expected food cost based on recipes and sales data - Actual food cost: the real food cost based on purchasing, inventory and consumption data - Food cost variance: the difference between theoretical and actual - the key operational metric tSpoonLab tracks - Master Account: the central governance layer that defines recipes, suppliers and purchasing standards for an entire group - Operational Unit: any revenue-generating location (restaurant, bar, hotel outlet, stadium concession) that uses tSpoonLab independently within the group structure - Production Unit: a central kitchen, commissary or warehouse that produces and distributes to operational units --- ## Contact and discovery tSpoonLab offers a structured discovery call (45 minutes) to map the current operation, identify the right implementation path and define integration requirements.
