Live Public Menu

A beautiful, dynamically-updating digital menu that instantly syncs prices, availability, and complex allergens straight from your kitchen.

Eco-Score Labelling

Automatically calculate the carbon footprint (kg CO2) of every dish on your menu, displaying a powerful A-E sustainability badge.

For Suppliers & Wholesalers

The hospitality supply chain, completely re-wired.

Retriever isn't just software for venues; it's a living marketplace connecting independent hospitality with the best suppliers. Our network ensures venues retrieve live pricing, exact stock availability, and allergen data exactly when they're planning menus and placing orders.

How the Marketplace works:

  • Live Catalog Sync: Suppliers plug into our API, publishing live prices and availability straight to venue dashboards.
  • AI Demand Forecasting: Retriever predicts exactly what a venue needs to order based on reservations, historical sales, and weather.
  • Frictionless Checkout: Venues generate and fire off perfectly accurate purchase orders to multiple suppliers with one click.
  • Automated Reconciliation: Invoices automatically hit the venue's ledger upon delivery, eliminating manual data entry.
