What ChefMod is

ChefMod is a procurement platform and partner for hospitality operators, combining purchasing tools with help from a dedicated procurement team. Its Marketplace supports ordering across suppliers, purchase order tracking, and recurring standing orders. Control automates invoice capture and approvals, syncs accounting data, and maps transactions automatically to a Chart of Accounts. It also includes pricing audits, credit recovery, inventory management, financial dashboards, and analytics.

EzRecipe connects invoice and purchasing information with ingredient lists to calculate recipe costs dynamically and generate nutritional information. Reporting includes spend analytics, customizable reports, and real-time performance insights. ChefMod’s In-Network supplier program offers negotiated group pricing, with coverage varying by region; its Data Management Team reviews transactions for price discrepancies, credits, returns, and shorts. CrossDoc offers secure document storage with disaster protection. A mobile companion supports ordering, invoice approval and scanning, and food and beverage cost visibility. ChefMod serves independent and corporately managed foodservice businesses, including single- and multi-unit operators. It serves U.S.-based operators and invites operators elsewhere to contact its team about a custom arrangement.
