How this works
Documentation
Reference pages for the parts of Novus Restaurant worth understanding before you rely on them.
What the market price data is, and is not
The difference between a published market observation and the price a kitchen actually pays, and which questions each can settle.
Reviewed .
How daily ingestion runs
The provider ladder, why every slot sits after 05:00 UTC, and what a disabled provider still does each day.
Reviewed .
Advertising, consent and what an account changes
Where advertising loads, the regions that require opt-in, how Global Privacy Control is honoured, and why signing in does not remove ads.
Reviewed .
What the importer accepts from a supplier file
The formats that work, the two columns that decide everything, and why a unit is never assumed when the parser is unsure.
Reviewed .
What a saving on this site actually claims
The comparison behind the savings figure, the qualifiers that make it honest, and the comparisons it refuses to make.
Reviewed .
The import contract, exactly
Every column the purchase importer accepts, what a row must satisfy, and how a price cell is read - generated from the parser and tested against it.
Reviewed .
How organizations, roles and data boundaries work
What an organization owns, which role can do what, and why the scoping lives in the query rather than in the page.
Reviewed .
What the calculators include, and what they leave out
Every cost the default calculation does not account for, how rounding is handled, and why currency is never converted.
Reviewed .
Reading the analytics evidence table
What one row of the analytics table compares, how confidence and priority are composed, and the judgements the table refuses to make.
Reviewed .
How a price change is detected
The four-part key a purchase price must match before a change is calculated, the window behind weekly impact, and when a figure is withheld instead of estimated.
Reviewed .
Market data against your own costs
Why the market view is the public explorer, the single place public observations join your purchasing, and why that join is weaker than it looks.
Reviewed .
Personal access tokens and what they can reach
How a token is minted, why it is shown only once, the quota on issuance, and the single endpoint it authenticates.
Reviewed .
The MCP server and what it will not do
Two addresses on one handler, why authentication runs before tools/list, the three read-only tools, and the protocol revisions it answers.
Reviewed .
Your data: what is stored and how to export it
What the personal-data export contains and excludes, how a privacy request is handled, and how long each kind of record is kept.
Reviewed .
Reading the dashboard
The dashboard shows two unrelated bodies of evidence side by side, and reading it well starts with knowing which half a panel comes from.
Reviewed .
What the notifications feed shows
A read-only record of events stored for your organization, and the reasons a quiet feed proves nothing about system health.
Reviewed .
Your menu list, and what costing needs from it
The four fields a menu entry holds, why a plate cost stays withheld until price and currency agree, and why your menu is never matched against a competitor menu.
Reviewed .
The public read API
What the version one API serves without a key, why the health route says nothing about the price data, and the limits that apply to every caller.
Reviewed .
Connections, and what a connection is
Why a connection here is an uploaded file rather than a supplier integration, what each card counts, and why one supplier can appear twice.
Reviewed .
What the AI Analysis page computes
Why the page named AI Analysis calls no model, the deterministic arithmetic behind its brief, and what the exported context leaves out.
Reviewed .
What the Reports page totals
The four totals on the Reports page, the window and dates it does not carry, the single market signal it narrates, and the columns in the purchasing export.
Reviewed .
The operations hub and what it checks
How each readiness card is counted and dated, which workflow calculation boundaries the code actually keeps, and why green does not mean usable.
Reviewed .
Where the help in this product is
The help page nothing links to, the page guide that covers most of the workspace instead, and the help steps that overstate what their destination does.
Reviewed .
Your profile and how you sign in
What the profile page shows about you, every way this account can be signed into, and what connecting or disconnecting Google actually does.
Reviewed .
Settings and what it does not hold
The one working control on the settings page, how the token list is filtered, and the organization values fixed at creation and editable nowhere.
Reviewed .
The organization page and what it cannot do
What the team list shows, who can open it, and why every way of changing membership sits outside the product.
Reviewed .
A product record, end to end
What the record id in the address really selects, what each headline metric prints when its input is missing, and why a drawn price history is not proof of a comparable price.
Reviewed .
A savings record and its evidence
The single pair a savings record compares, how the confidence score is composed, why the unverified list never changes, and what an approve or reject decision does.
