MarketMan alternative

Restaurant inventory without the enterprise price tag.

Snap the invoice. Know your pour cost. Move on.

MarketMan is a deep inventory and purchasing platform — and it's priced like one, starting around $199/mo with per-vendor fees and setup costs. For a small independent, that's a lot for inventory alone.

HeadroomSIO includes inventory with OCR in one flat $69.99/mo — and it comes with scheduling, a staff app, and Google review management in the same price.

OCR does the data entry

Snap a photo of a delivery invoice and HeadroomSIO reads the line items for you — no typing every bottle and case by hand. Track stock, cost per pour, and which vendor supplies what.

Inventory that isn't a separate bill

Most independents skip dedicated inventory software because it costs as much as everything else combined. In HeadroomSIO, inventory is part of the flat price — so you can finally track pour cost and catch what's underpriced without adding a second subscription.

Common questions

Is HeadroomSIO's inventory as deep as MarketMan's?

No — MarketMan is a dedicated purchasing and inventory platform with more depth. HeadroomSIO covers the essentials (stock, cost per pour, vendors, OCR invoice scanning) as part of an all-in-one, which is enough for most small independents and far cheaper.

Do I pay extra per vendor?

No. HeadroomSIO is one flat price — there are no per-vendor or per-integration fees.
