Open Pantry

What Open Pantry does

Open Pantry is a cloud-based B2B ordering and restaurant management platform connecting food and beverage wholesale suppliers with restaurant venues, founded in 2018 and headquartered in Richmond, Melbourne, with regional offices in the USA and Canada. The platform operates two-sided: the supplier side provides wholesale distributors (butchers, seafood, produce, dairy, bakery, beverage) with their own branded iOS, Android, and web ordering apps, AI-powered order capture from email and SMS channels, tablet-based digital pick & pack with lot/expiry and first-expiry-first-out (FEFO) tracking, route optimisation with live ETAs, automated invoicing, and two-way accounting sync with Xero, MYOB, QuickBooks, Sage, and Zoho Books. The restaurant side provides multi-supplier ordering in one place, pantry lists, standing orders, AI-powered menu costing and recipe import (Menu Profit Manager), and full restaurant operations management including automated inventory, ordering, POS integration, and reporting (Restaurant Pro Suite).

The technology stack combines computer vision (for invoice and recipe scanning), NLP (for email/SMS order conversion), and structured data analytics (for price-matching, cost recosting, margin dashboards, and anomaly detection). Open Pantry currently serves 600+ suppliers and 5,000+ venues across Australia and New Zealand, with named customers including M&J Chickens, Iris Group (210 venues, $1B+ annual revenue), AVC (ASX-listed hospitality group), Peach Hospitality Group, Poseidon Seafoods, and Kassis Produce.

The business model is subscription SaaS on both sides of the market. Supplier pricing tiers run from Free (product listing and order receipt) to Pro (from $149/month with accounting, inventory, invoicing, and delivery features) to Enterprise (custom pricing with white-label apps and ERP integrations). Restaurant pricing includes a Free ordering tier, Menu Profit Manager at a $199 AUD one-time payment for lifetime access, and Restaurant Pro Suite at $250/month. Distribution is product-led through self-serve sign-up, with restaurant users onboarded via supplier invitations and enterprise prospects routed through demo-led direct sales. Payments are processed through Stripe, and the platform integrates with POS systems (notably Triniteq) and accounting systems to minimise manual re-keying.
