Hospitality invoices. Organised by venue.

Keep food, beverage, housekeeping and maintenance invoices with the team who knows them. Give each venue its own document folder while finance prepares the books in your connected accounting software.

14 days free, no payment details needed.

Prepare the detail your team needs.

Use the invoice as the source, then apply the accounting decisions your business needs.

  • Deliveries with detailed supplier lines

    Capture the descriptions and amounts on supplier invoices. Code food, cleaning materials and delivery separately, then check the quantities and totals against the original.

  • Different treatment at different venues

    The same supplier can have different coding rules in different folders. Use the supported Xero tracking or QuickBooks fields to identify the location in the accounting records.

  • Head-office costs shared between sites

    Allocate a shared facilities bill using fixed amounts, percentages or both. Bill Split creates your allocation lines in place of the captured supplier lines; review the total before export.

Separate the work. Connect the books.

A folder can represent a whole company, a site, a department or a project. Organise documents around the people doing the work, even when the accounts stay together.

Two colleagues arrange three client or site folders linked to one shared accounting ledger.

One business. Separate workspaces.

Harbour Kitchen
The restaurant manager collects and approves local purchases.
Kitchen refit
The project lead checks contractor invoices in a project folder.

Separate intake and people. One shared accounting organisation.

Illustrative Harbour Hospitality setup: a folder for a restaurant and another for its refit, connected to the same accounting organisation. Set supported ledger tracking fields separately.

  1. A destination for each team

    Give each restaurant, hotel or venue a folder and share its invoice email address with the relevant suppliers. Each folder has its own email address for invoices, so the document starts in the right workspace.

  2. People and rules for that folder

    Invite the people who need that folder and set its supplier coding and optional approval workflows. Owners and Managers can manage every folder; folder members work within their assigned access.

  3. Several folders, one accounting connection

    Connect multiple folders to the same Xero, QuickBooks Online or FreeAgent organisation. Use the supported accounting codes and tracking fields to identify costs in the ledger; a folder name alone does not create an accounting category.

Invoice approvals that fit your business.

Use sign-off where it helps. It is included in Datamolino and optional for each folder.

Let the person who knows the purchase decide

A venue manager can confirm a delivery or repair without choosing tax rates and account codes. The approver checks the purchase and amount, and approves or rejects the invoice on the web or in the mobile app.

Let finance complete the accounting

Configure the workflow so finance can finish account codes, tax and supported tracking fields after sign-off and before export. The setup guide explains the editing permissions and when to leave automatic export off.

Match the tool to the work

If capture, coding and invoice sign-off cover your process, you may be able to reduce the cost of a separate approval subscription. Compare wider requirements such as purchase-order matching, budget checks and payment controls before replacing ApprovalMax.

Questions about this workflow

Can several folders connect to the same accounting organisation?

Yes. Multiple Datamolino folders can connect to the same Xero organisation, QuickBooks Online company or FreeAgent account. Each folder has its own document intake, members and settings. A business account is for one accounting company; a practice account can serve multiple client companies.

Do we have to use invoice approvals?

No. Approvals are included in your subscription and enabled per folder. Use them where purchase sign-off is useful, or capture, code and export without approval stages.

Are line items included in every plan?

Choose a subscription with line-item extraction when you need individual invoice lines. Totals-only plans do not include it. The pricing page lets you compare the options for your document volume.

Does this replace our hospitality stock or POS system?

Datamolino prepares invoice data and accounting exports. Check stock, POS, ordering and goods-receipt requirements separately. Include a detailed supplier bill in the trial and inspect the result in your accounts.

Try the workflow with your own invoices.

Bring a detailed supplier bill and describe who collects it, who knows the purchase and who prepares the accounts. We will walk through a folder setup that fits.
