For restaurant owners
Your restaurant's right hand.

Nothing gets bought or sent without your approval.

What Luigi catches
The money that walks out the back door.
It isn't lost to theft. It's lost in a box that came up short and a price nobody checked again.
Short deliveries
3 kg of shrimp missing from a box you already signed for.
$620
Quiet price hikes
Oil went up three times in two months and nobody noticed.
$1,340 / month
Duplicate invoices
The same delivery note, billed twice in one pay period.
$2,100
Unrecorded waste
What got tossed on Sunday, written down on Sunday.
$880 / month

Luigi proposes, you decide.
No order goes out and no peso gets spent without your approval. Luigi gets it ready, you say yes.
Every message is on the record: what was ordered, who approved it, at what price and what actually arrived. It all lives in Carte, your real inventory, and you can check it whenever you want.

Carte is where the whole history lives: stock by location, each supplier's prices, orders and deliveries. Luigi sums it up for you in WhatsApp; if you want the full detail, it's right there.
Pricing
Free during the pilot. The 10 Founding Restaurants keep preferred terms for life.
No card · final pricing gets defined together with the founders
Text Luigi the way you text an employee.
One message and you're started. Nothing to install.
Do I need to install anything?
No. It all happens in the WhatsApp you already use.
Does it work with voice notes?
Not yet — it's on the way. Today Luigi understands text and photos of your invoices.
What if I make a mistake?
Everything can be corrected, nothing gets erased.
What does Luigi NOT do?
He doesn't spend a peso or send orders without your approval, doesn't share your data, and anything he can't solve goes straight to Alfonso, Carte's founder.
