Can i point it at a local AI server? Can i feed it a pdf that i make myself using my own OCR?
I'd prefer a plain text description of what the program actually does. A screen shot here or there might be tolerable but please, no splash screens or uninformative background pics.
I don't know much about running a bar apart from being a regular and sticking around for closing time every now and then. This looks like an opinionated frontend for a spreadsheet. There are tons of those already. Does this really reduce any of the complexity well enough to be better? I think people would be more convinced with a demo compared to the existing workflows it's trying to replace.
Why does it need cloud AI to read invoices? Basic foss OCR can do this very well, so too the most basic local AI. Wrangling claude to read reciepts is using a tomahawk to kill ants. Can i point it at a local AI server? Can i feed it a pdf that i make myself using my own OCR?
I’m sorry this looks like junk.
If this is all AI, I'm speech less.

It’s hopefully an alternative to paying a company like Orca $200/mo. (It used to be $5000 annually, sold solely on the value of potential losses saved.) https://orcainventory.com/
I'm not saying SaaS is always the right answer, but that's probably why it succeeds at that pricing.
How an alternative is pitched really does matter. It's not enough to just point out flaws with the competitor. Open source also requires its own set of incentives to get meaningful contributions. It has to solve a set of problems that are interesting and impactful to the contributors.
It sounds like an uphill battle for this project.
