A venue-led data project powered by countfor.me
Your suppliers know where the market is moving. Now your venue can too.
The Margin Movement helps Australian hospitality operators use anonymised invoice data, commodity signals, and fair-market references to understand supplier costs before price moves hit their venue.

Today's point-in-time comparison
Grassroots launch
We are building the baseline.
We are not pretending the benchmark is finished. We are inviting the first venues in each category and region to help build it properly, with useful personal insight from the first invoice and stronger community benchmarks as participation grows.
For too long, price transparency has belonged mostly to suppliers. We are pooling invoices to build fair-market benchmarks and have better conversations with suppliers.
How it works
Three simple steps to negotiate with better context.
2. Add one invoice
Contribute a recent invoice to help build the local benchmark and receive a point-in-time snapshot for that invoice.
3. Keep it current
Connect accounting software or forward invoices by email so price changes can be tracked automatically.
A single invoice is a photo. Ongoing uploads are the live feed.
One-off upload
Shows where one invoice sits today against available references and any eligible benchmark data.
Connected account
Keeps watching every new invoice, catches unexplained increases, and updates your benchmarks as prices move.
Cost Watch Brief
What the brief actually gives you.
Fortnightly and monthly insights tailored to your categories. The brief focuses on latency-aware data: what may hit your invoices next, so you can question changes before they land.
- Commodity moves Raw market data translated into plain English.
- Invoice impact What global shifts may mean for local supplier prices.
- Fair-increase guidance Context for reasonable changes versus increases that do not match the market.
- Supplier talking points Clear data points to use when speaking with your rep.
- Strategic timing Prompts on when to lock in pricing or request competitive quotes.
Your invoice helps you now, and helps the industry later.
The more venues contribute, the sharper the benchmark becomes. We only publish a benchmark once enough venues contribute that no individual venue can be identified.
Example unlock threshold
Dairy benchmark
Benchmarks stay hidden until the venue threshold is met.
Share with a local venuePrivacy built into the benchmark
Built by operators, for operators.
Never exposed
We never show individual venue prices or identifiable venue data to anyone.
Volume protected
Benchmarks only appear after enough venues contribute to protect anonymity.
Total control
You stay in control of whether your invoice data contributes to community benchmarks.
Venue-first
We do not sell data in a way that lets suppliers identify venues, target venues, or price against them.
