Frequently asked questions

Can Kanakku read my supplier bills automatically?
Yes. AI extraction reads vendor, dates, totals and line items from an uploaded bill; you confirm before it becomes a purchase. Use your own Claude/OpenAI key, or the key-free mock for testing.
Does Kanakku include a POS or table ordering?
No. Kanakku is the accounting and billing back office — purchases, payments, banking and financial statements. It does not run front-of-house ordering.
Can I see food cost as a percentage of sales?
Tag purchases to cost centers and compare against income in the P&L and dimension reports to track cost ratios over time.
