Craftable API
Craftable markets APIs and custom files as an integration option but publishes no developer portal, REST reference, SDKs, or self-serve keys. POS, accounting, and distributor EDI connectors are built and managed by Craftable's team, so integration is a partner-gated engagement.
Frequently asked questions
Craftable scores D+ on the API Report Card. Craftable markets APIs and custom files as an integration option but publishes no developer portal, REST reference, SDKs, or self-serve keys. POS, accounting, and distributor EDI connectors are built and managed by Craftable's team, so integration is a partner-gated engagement.
Without a usable official API, teams fall back on manual exports, file drops, or one-off vendor integrations. The other option is an unofficial API layer like Supergood that automates the authenticated web app directly.
Craftable is a cloud-based hospitality back-office platform that unifies purchasing, inventory, recipe and menu management, AP automation, and financial reporting in a single system.
POS / Hospitality - specifically back-of-house operations for restaurants and lodging. Hospitality operators use Craftable to: build supplier order guides and place EDI orders directly into distributor systems (Sysco, US Foods, GFS, PFG, Southern Glazer's, Breakthru, RNDC, Imperial Dade, FreshPoint); ingest invoices via OCR or EDI feed and auto-match to POs; track real-time inventory with mobile counts; price and cost recipes / sub-recipes / menu items; calculate live COGS, theoretical-vs-actual variance, and rogue-spend exposure; sync sales-by-item from the POS (Toast, Square, Lightspeed, Aloha NCR, Clover, Heartland, Revel, Micros, TouchBistro, SpotOn, Agilysys, Silverware, Jonas Club, Tabit, Auphan, etc.) to deplete inventory; and push invoices and journal entries to QuickBooks, Sage Intacct, Oracle NetSuite, Acumatica, Microsoft Dynamics GP, R365, M3, Aptech, Compeat, Epicor, or Xero.
Established mid-market brand in restaurant and hospitality back-office. 10,000+ operator footprint and regular feature listings as a top alternative to Restaurant365, MarginEdge, MarketMan, and xtraCHEF on G2/Capterra.
Yes - Craftable holds the hospitality operator's core back-of-house book of record: full vendor catalog with negotiated pricing, supplier order history (PO-level), invoice-level AP data with OCR'd and EDI line items, real-time inventory counts and valuations, recipe/sub-recipe BOM structures with ingredient-level costs, menu item profitability, theoretical-vs-actual COGS variance, rogue-spend tracking, sales-by-item feeds from the POS, and labor cost feeds from payroll/scheduling.
~11 years old (founded 2014 as Bevager, expanded with Foodager and rebranded to Craftable). Cloud-native with iOS/Android mobile apps for counts, receiving, and approvals; AI/OCR-driven invoice capture; SOC 2 compliant with SSO.
No public developer portal, no published REST API reference, no SDKs - integrations are application/partner-gated rather than self-serve. POS integrations are partner-managed - when connectors break, operators report long resolution windows with no clear ownership between Craftable and the POS vendor.

Common alternatives include Restaurant365, MarginEdge, MarketMan, xtraCHEF (by Toast), Crunchtime, Apicbase. Graded alternatives appear under "More from the report card" below.
Grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? We check six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and roll them into a letter grade. Grades get re-verified, and they only move on evidence.
Yes. Supergood maintains an unofficial Craftable API and MCP server so AI agents and internal tools can read and write Craftable data. See the Craftable integration docs at supergood.ai/docs/craftable-api.
