Monday's delivery. Coastway's invoice bills 10 cases of fries. Nine came in. The cook wrote the 9 in pencil after the driver left, so the driver's copy says nothing, and nobody asked for the credit.
The fix: the count at the back door goes into a photo or a short form, each invoice is checked against it, and a credit request is drafted for your OK by the next morning. This is one of the things a walk looks for.

Most owners I meet lose their evenings to the same few jobs: the quote typed up at night, the invoice that never went out, the call nobody got back to.
Before Lumora I did the paperwork at a water damage company, and I automated most of it. Now Lumora walks businesses around Gainesville and does the same.
I speak English and Spanish, so your office can work in either.
