Core Partner

Fabios

One place to order from every supplier, with approvals, prices and spend under control.

Fabios is a purchasing platform for hospitality. Instead of orders going out by email, text message and phone call, every supplier is ordered from in one place, using site-specific order guides and par levels so managers buy the right products in the right pack sizes.

Approval rules and budgets give head office control before money is committed, prices are visible at the point of ordering, and deliveries are checked against the order so shortages and credits are captured at the door rather than disputed weeks later.

Fully Baked is a Fabios Core Partner. We clean and load your supplier catalogues, build order guides per site, set the approval rules with your head office, train your managers and review spend with you once real orders are flowing.

What Fabios does

Supplier ordering in one place

Order from all of your suppliers through a single interface rather than a mix of emails, WhatsApp messages and phone calls.

Order guides and par levels

Site-specific order guides with pars, so managers order the right products in the right pack sizes every time.

Approvals and spend control

Approval rules and budgets that stop an unchecked order going out and surfacing as a surprise invoice three weeks later.

Price visibility

See and compare supplier prices as you order, so buying decisions are made with the cost in front of you.

Invoice and credit handling

Deliveries checked against orders, with shortages and credits recorded rather than argued about later.

Purchasing reporting

Spend by site, supplier and category, so a group can see where purchasing is drifting away from the plan.

Where it stands out

  • Tightly focused on purchasing and supplier management, and very good at it
  • Fast to adopt — managers are ordering within days, not after a long training programme
  • Approval rules give head office real control over site-level spend
  • Delivery discrepancies and credits are captured at the door, where they are still provable
  • Clean purchase data that makes every other back-of-house number more reliable

Our honest view

Fabios is our recommendation when purchasing is the mess — orders placed by text, prices nobody checks, credits never chased, spend invisible until the month-end. Fixing that one process often returns more margin than a full inventory programme.

It is deliberately focused. If you need deep recipe costing or kitchen compliance as well, we will combine it with another Core Partner rather than stretch one system beyond what it is designed for.

Fabios questions we get asked

What does Fabios do?

It is a purchasing and supplier ordering platform: one place to order from every supplier, with order guides, par levels, approvals, price visibility, delivery checking and spend reporting.

Can we keep our existing suppliers?

Yes. The point is to order from the suppliers you already use through one system, with your own products, pack sizes and agreed prices set up during implementation.

How does it control spend across multiple sites?

Order guides limit what each site can order, approval rules catch orders above a threshold, and spend reporting by site, supplier and category shows where purchasing is drifting.

What does Fully Baked do on a Fabios project?

We clean and load supplier catalogues and pricing, build order guides and par levels per site, set approval rules with your head office, train managers, and review spend with you after go-live.
