Count it out loud. Hands full? Just say it.
Walk the shelves and talk. David AI turns what you say into a stock count you can check, fix and save — nothing changes until you approve it.
Ask David AI anything. Then tell it to do the job.
Type or talk. Ask what's low, what went up, what to order — David AI reads your real stock, costs and orders, reads its answer back and waits for your yes before anything changes.
Ask me anything about your stock, costs or orders — try one below.
Simulated answers — the real David AI reads your actual stock, invoices and sales.
Know what every plate makes. Recipes costed from your real prices.
Say a recipe, upload your menu or a PDF, or let David AI estimate one to start. When a supplier price moves, every dish that uses it re-costs itself.
Order before you run out. It drafts. You approve.
David AI sees what's running low against what you sell, drafts an order for each supplier and waits. One tap and it goes to your supplier — from you, not from us.

Straight answers.
Is FoxEra really free?
Yes. There's no subscription, no per-seat fee and no contract, and you don't need a card to sign up.
What does FoxEra do today?
Recipe and dish costing, supplier invoice scanning from a photo or PDF, and live stock tracking across one or several sites, with gross profit and variance reporting.
Who is it for?
Independent restaurants, bars, cafes, pubs and hotels, and small multi-site groups — anywhere someone is currently keeping stock and margins in a spreadsheet.
What happens to my data and my site?
The site is yours. There are no contracts and no lock-in, and if we ever had to close the company you keep the code and everything we built for you. You can export your data at any time.
Do I need to replace my till or EPoS?
No. FoxEra runs alongside whatever you already use. Integrations are handled case by case — tell us what you run and we will tell you honestly what is possible.
How do I get started?
Create your company on the site — it takes a couple of minutes. If you would rather talk to a person first, message us on WhatsApp with your venue name and what you run.
