Built for Cafés
You bake 40 scones at 5am, serve 120 coffees by noon, and throw away €65 worth of pastries at close. Your margin on a flat white is 78% but your blueberry muffin is costing you money. Inntally shows you the real cost of every item on your counter, helps you order just what you need, and cuts waste before it hits the bin.
Meet Fordes Courtyard
A speciality café in Galway’s West End. Siobhán opened 18 months ago with a passion for great coffee and home-baked pastries. The café turns over €340K a year, employs 6 staff, and uses 8 suppliers. Despite being busy, she couldn’t understand why the bank balance never seemed to grow.
“The Blueberry Muffin Was Costing Us Money. We Had No Idea.”
Siobhán sold the blueberry muffin for €3.80 because that’s what the café down the road charged. She guessed the cost was around €1.20. When she actually costed it properly — butter, flour, imported blueberries, vanilla paste, labour — the true cost was €2.95 per muffin. Her “best seller” was making 22% margin, not the 68% she assumed.
Every Item Costed. Every Recipe Priced. Every Week.
Siobhán uploaded her 64 recipes into Inntally. Within minutes, every item had a live cost linked to her actual supplier prices. The blueberry muffin problem was obvious instantly. She switched to frozen Irish blueberries (AI-suggested), adjusted the recipe slightly, and repriced to €4.20. GP jumped from 22% to 61%. The açaí bowl got a new supplier at €3.80 cost — GP moved from 35% to 60%.
€65 In the Bin. Every. Single. Day.
Siobhán baked to a fixed “par level” every morning: 40 scones, 24 muffins, 12 banana breads, 8 quiches. On Mondays she’d throw out 15 items. On Saturdays she’d sell out by 11am and lose an afternoon of sales. She had no data on what sold when, so she baked the same amounts regardless.
Bake What Sells. When It Sells. Waste Nothing.
Inntally’s analytics show Siobhán exactly what sold on each day of the week for the past 12 weeks. Monday needs 24 scones, not 40. Saturday needs 55. The daily waste report at close takes 2 minutes on her phone — leftover items are logged and feed back into next week’s production plan. Waste dropped from €65/day to €36/day in the first month.
8 Suppliers. 8 Logins. 8 Phone Calls.
Every morning Siobhán checked stock, then texted her dairy guy, called the baker, emailed the coffee roaster, and logged into 3 different supplier websites. It took 45 minutes every day. Sometimes an order was missed and she’d have to make an emergency run to the cash-and-carry — always more expensive, always disruptive.
One Platform. All 8 Suppliers. 5 Minutes.
Now Siobhán opens Inntally, reviews the AI-suggested order (based on sales trends and current stock), makes small tweaks, and sends to all 8 suppliers simultaneously. Total time: 5 minutes. No phone calls, no logging in to three websites, no emergency runs to the cash-and-carry.

I opened Fordes Courtyard because I love making great coffee and baking. What I didn’t love was spending 45 minutes every morning on ordering, and then wondering why my bank balance never grew despite being packed every weekend. Inntally showed me instantly that my best-selling muffin was barely breaking even, that I was throwing away €65 a day in food waste, and that I’d been overpaying for butter for a year. In 12 months we saved over €28K — and I’m back to doing what I actually started this café to do.
