Restaurant management software. With clear numbers

Invoices, purchasing, inventory, shifts and sales for your restaurant, connected in one app. Free for 7 days, no card.

Hostelella is restaurant management software that brings invoices and delivery notes, supplier orders, inventory, shifts, clock-in and sales into one app. It is built for owners and managers who want to know how the month is going without reconciling paperwork by hand: Ella, its AI assistant, reads each document and records it when everything adds up.

Start with one venue and add others to the same account. On every plan, Ella reads your paperwork, prepares rotas and answers with the data your role can see; what doesn't add up, she asks you.

Plans start at €9.99 + VAT per venue/month and the first trial activates Ella Pro for 7 days with no card. If you want to delegate part of management, Ella Director adds a professional service with a tailored scope.

Costs, invoices and shifts: where your margin leaks

Supplier prices that rise unnoticed

Your suppliers' prices change every week; your menu doesn't. If nobody compares each invoice with the last one, you find the increase at month end.

Invoices out of control

Delivery notes and invoices pile up in a drawer. By the time they reach your accountant it's too late to react: the month is closed and the margin is gone.

Last-minute staffing

Shifts in a WhatsApp group, unrecorded swaps and overtime nobody counts. The floor works, but nobody knows what it costs.

The app and the management service for your restaurant

Service and technology, together or separately. You decide how much to delegate.

Frequently asked questions about Hostelella for restaurants

Does it work for a small restaurant or only for groups?

Both. App plans start at €9.99 + VAT per venue/month and the management service adapts to the size of the business. You can start with one venue and add the next ones to the same account.

Does Hostelella do recipe costing?

The app does not calculate recipes or recipe costs. It does show which products have gone up in price and lets you compare suppliers using the prices on your invoices. Recipe-cost and menu-cost reviews are part of the Ella Director service.

Does it replace my POS or my accountant?

No. Hostelella is not a POS and does not replace your accountant: it works alongside both. Upload the day's till close and your invoices, and sales and expenses stay organised in the app.

Can I run several restaurants from one account?

Yes. Each venue is a business within your account, with its own numbers, paperwork and team. You switch between them in the app, and each venue has its own plan.

Does it cover staff shifts and clock-in?

Yes. Build the week's rota — by hand or with Ella — publish it and everyone sees their shifts. Staff clock in and out from their phones and you can export the records as a CSV.

How long until it's up and running?

Onboarding is guided: create the account, configure the venue and invite the team. Timing depends on the data and processes you want to include, and you can start with one area.
