Chat with your Receipts

We're making spreadsheets obsolete. At ThinkVAL, we believe your receipts should talk back. This post dives into how brands can now “converse” with their data — getting real-time insights across sales channels, fulfillment types, and time slots — no more waiting for reports, no more guesswork.

Let’s be honest — most F&B operators are still stuck in spreadsheet hell.

You’ve got sales data from POS, delivery apps, and payment partners. It’s messy, delayed, and full of gaps. And if you want to answer something simple like “How were lunch sales across all outlets last Friday?”, it takes hours.

That’s broken.

At ThinkVAL, we’re flipping the model. What if you could chat with your receipts — like talking to a teammate who already has all the answers?

We’ve built a system that turns raw transaction data into structured, queryable insights across:

  • Sales Channels: POS, GrabFood, Deliveroo, Foodpanda

  • Fulfillment Types: Dine-in, Takeaway, 3P Delivery

  • Mealslots: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Tea Break

With one query, you can pull net sales, covers, discounts, average spend — even compare week-on-week shifts.

No data team. No manual cleaning. Just instant answers.

Why does this matter?

Because speed wins. When you can spot trends fast — a delivery surge, a dine-in drop, a promo that’s actually working — you act faster than the competition. You optimize ops in real-time. And you stop wasting headcount on reconciliations and reporting.

This is what automation should look like.

Structured data, real insights, built for how operators actually think.

We don’t just crunch data.

We make it speak.
