growyze vs Nory

Growyze is an app for managing hospitality back-of-house work, from stock and purchasing to invoices, waste and recipes. Barcode scanning and digital stocksheets support stock counts; the product says this can reduce stocktake time by 60%. Automated checks compare orders, deliveries and invoices to flag discrepancies. Dashboards cover expected versus actual COGS, gross profit and item price changes. Recipe tools include costing, margin calculations and allergen details. Growyze runs on iOS, Android and desktop browsers. Its product page displays integrations for Square, Clover, Go-EPOS, Newbridge, Xero and Sage. A free plan is available, with limits on stocktakes, orders, suppliers, delivery notes, invoice validations, recipes, dishes, waste records and reports. Pro costs $79 a month and includes 25 automated invoice validations, then £0.50 per invoice. The maker also advertises a 30-day trial without requiring a card, with setup available on or off site upon request.
