Restaurant inventory and purchasing

Inventory that matches your sales, every single day

Recipe-based stock, plate costing, purchasing and bar stock in one place. See variance the next morning and fix it before it becomes a habit.

Live stock

Stock that moves with every bill

Every sale deducts its recipe, so your stock levels are always current. Count less often, and trust the numbers in between.

  • Recipe-based deduction for food and bar
  • Multiple stores: kitchen, bar, cold room
  • Wastage and staff meals logged with reasons
  • Daily variance between expected and actual stock

  • Sub-recipes for gravies, bases and batters
  • Price-change alerts on your key ingredients
  • Menu engineering: stars, workhorses and slow movers

FAQ

Common questions

Do I need to count stock every day?

No. Stock updates with every sale and receipt. Most venues count key items daily and do a full count weekly or monthly.

Can it handle bar stock in pegs and bottles?

Yes. Spirits are tracked in bottles and pegs, with open-bottle levels and excise registers.

Does it work with a central kitchen?

Yes. Plan production, transfer to outlets and track every movement and cost.

Can I see food cost by dish?

Yes. Plate cost and margin are calculated from your recipes and the latest purchase prices.
