Is Unpickle right for your shop?

Best fit: Cafés, restaurants and independent shops that receive supplier deliveries and need a reliable record of shortages or damage.
Your team handles: Reviewing the invoice scan, physically counting the goods and contacting the supplier. Unpickle does not place orders or obtain refunds automatically.
Start with: An invoice, the goods in front of the checker and a phone or shared tablet. Agree who will follow up on any recorded problem.

What your team can do

Give every delivery a proper check-in.

A signature on a docket does not tell you whether every item arrived. Keep the expected quantities, the check and the problems in one delivery record.

Start with the invoice

Upload or take a photo of the invoice to extract delivery details. Review the scan against the document and correct it before the team starts checking.

Less retyping, with a human review

Count each line

Staff check the actual goods, mark items OK and record the missing quantity when a delivery is short. Each item gets a clear result.

Expected quantities alongside the check

Capture the problem

Flag damaged goods and add damage photos or notes. Keep that evidence beside the affected item so the person contacting the supplier can see the issue.

Item-level notes and damage photos

Keep the follow-up visible

See which deliveries have outstanding problems and who checked them. When the issue is dealt with, update the delivery so the team knows where it stands.

Checking history and delivery status

How it works

An example: 24 cartons ordered, 22 delivered.

The missing two cartons are easy to forget during a rush. A short, consistent check leaves something useful for the next person.

Review the expected delivery
Add the supplier and invoice. Check that the item name and expected quantity are right: in this example, 24 cartons of oat drink.
Count what is in front of you
The checker counts 22 cartons and records two as missing. Check each remaining item rather than marking the whole delivery correct.
Keep the evidence together
Add an item note explaining the shortage. For damaged goods, photograph the damage. The record includes who performed the check.
Follow up with the supplier
Use the recorded quantities and evidence when you contact the supplier. Agree the credit or replacement with them and update the delivery once it is resolved.

Evidence, with the context attached

What do recorded delivery problems add up to?

In the snapshot verified on 9 October 2026, 72 of 625 checked deliveries at one independent café had a recorded problem. The benchmark explains how deliveries were counted and what the sample can tell you. It does not measure refunds, money saved or an industry-wide problem rate.

Read the delivery benchmark & methodology

Try it on your next supplier delivery.

A real delivery gives you a better feel for the workflow than a perfectly tidy demonstration. Afterwards, check whether a manager who was not there can identify the supplier, affected item, missing quantity and next action.

Add a supplier and scan an invoice; review the extracted details.
Ask the person receiving the goods to check every item.
Review any shortage or damage with the person who follows up.

Questions before you start

What does delivery checking software do?

Delivery checking software keeps the expected items and quantities together with a record of what arrived. In Unpickle, staff check each item, record shortages or damage and keep notes, damage photos and checker details with the delivery.

Can Unpickle read a supplier invoice?

Yes. Unpickle can scan a photo of an invoice to extract delivery details. Review the extracted items and quantities against the original invoice and correct any mistakes before using them for the delivery check.

How do we record a partially missing item?

Mark the item as missing and enter the missing quantity. For example, if 24 cartons were expected and 22 arrived, record two cartons missing. Add an item note if the manager needs more context.

Does Unpickle obtain supplier refunds automatically?

No. Unpickle records the delivery problem and supporting details. Your team contacts the supplier and agrees any credit, refund or replacement with them.

Can staff check deliveries on a shared device?

Yes. Staff can use a shared shop device in a web browser and select the person doing the check. Managers can then see who checked the delivery and which items need attention.

How much does delivery checking cost?

Unpickle costs £29 + VAT per month per shop, with unlimited staff and all features included. Start with a 30-day free trial; no card is required. Email hello@unpickleapp.com within 30 days of your first payment to request a full refund. Cancel renewal through Billing to stop future payments.
