An order operations platform for suppliers. Handle intake, item checks, delivery tracking, and PO/invoice issuance in one place.
Why Dishour
Are these order problems still part of your daily workflow?
Incoming order channels
Orders get scattered across calls and texts
Text threads, call notes, and chat messages live in different places, so it is hard to know what has actually been processed.
Received order
Error found right before dispatch - reconfirming by phone
Quantity and item mistakes keep repeating
Ambiguous quantities and unclear item names get discovered right before delivery, which creates last-minute confirmation work.
Variable-weight items
Ribeye
Short rib
Adjusting totals manually in Excel...
Variable-weight pricing is painful to adjust
Products like meat and seafood require manual price updates once the actual delivered weight is known.
Document workload
Order sheet (Excel)
Created by hand every time
Tax invoice
Same data entered again
Final invoice
Third version of the same order
Order sheets and invoices get duplicated
Teams enter the same order data more than once across spreadsheets, invoices, and follow-up documents.
Delivery history
History only lives inside chat threads
Delivery issues are not tracked cleanly
Failed deliveries and reschedules stay buried inside chat history, which makes follow-up and dispute resolution harder.
How it works
This is how day-to-day order operations change.
- 01
Online order intake
Restaurants place supplier-specific orders online instead of by phone or text.
- 02
Order review
Suppliers review the order and confirm items, quantities, and issues in one workflow.
- 03
Final quantity confirmation
Variable-weight products can be finalized using actual delivered quantities.
- 04
Automatic document generation
The system prepares purchase orders and final invoices automatically.
- 05
Status-based tracking
Each order is tracked by status from ready to ship through delivery and completion.
