Maya by Inputly connects restaurant sales, recipes, stock and purchasing to forecast demand and manage inventory and food cost. It tracks ingredient quantities and expiry by perishable lot, flags low stock and recommends reorder points. Recipes link menu items to ingredients; sales forecasts can be translated into ingredient needs, including batch yields and unit conversions. Maya drafts supplier purchase orders using forecast demand, current and in-transit stock, supplier lead times and pack sizes. Forecasts are trained on a restaurant's sales history and, according to Inputly, also consider calendars, holidays, paydays, weather and local events. Proposed actions require approval, with role-based access, audit trails, reversible actions and a kill switch among the listed controls. POS connections include Square, Toast, TouchBistro, Clover, SeroPOS and Lightspeed; a REST API and webhooks are also listed. Native apps are listed for Android, iOS, macOS and Windows, alongside web and API access. Maya is paid, with pricing listed from $249/mo, and has no free plan. Inputly says SOC 2 Type II is in progress.
