Notch (formerly OrderEZE/ChefHero) brings the restaurant supply chain online, digitizing the paper-driven process of wholesale food ordering and order taking between restaurants and their distributors. Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Toronto, the platform spans four product surfaces — Order Manager and Invoice Manager for buyers, AP Manager for restaurant accounts payable, and AR Manager for distributor accounts receivable — handling order placement, invoice management, reconciliation, payment collection, and payment processing for food and beverage suppliers and buyers. Notch keeps ordering and finance workflows in sync through one-way and two-way connectors to accounting and ERP systems including QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop, NetSuite, Xero, and Microsoft Dynamics 365, plus CSV import/export. Notch does not publish a public developer API or developer portal; its accounting/ERP connectivity is delivered through its own connectors and the third-party Rutter unified accounting API, so Notch operates as an API consumer rather than an API provider. (This profile covers Notch the restaurant-to-supplier ordering and AR/AP automation company at notch.financial, and is unrelated to "Notch Pay," the African payments company at developer.notchpay.co.)
