Inventory at a Glance

Inventory at a Glance. Every order is automatically reconciled with your stock. Sales from all channels – POS system, webshop, Lieferando, Wolt, or Uber Eats – flow directly into the merchandise management system, without manual post-processing. Recipes and ingredients are stored in the system. As soon as a dish is sold, the inventory reduction at the ingredient level is automatically recorded. Stock alerts automatically notify you before a product runs out. Your advantage: real-time cost of goods sold, fewer stockouts, transparency over consumption and costs, and faster response to bottlenecks.

FAQ

An inventory management system (IMS) tracks all goods movement in your restaurant: incoming deliveries from suppliers, consumption through sales, inventory counts, and stock levels. It automatically connects this data with the POS system and all ordering channels, so you always know what you have in stock and what you need to reorder.

Every order automatically deducts from your inventory—at the ingredient level, not just the product level. You can instantly identify discrepancies between what should have been used and what is actually missing. This uncovers shrinkage, breakage, and process errors before they impact your bottom line. In practice, digital inventory management reduces food costs by up to 8%.
