Key Capabilities
Real-Time Stock Visibility
Every POS sale automatically deducts ingredients from on-hand inventory using recipe-level mappings. Managers see current stock positions without manual counting.
Intelligent Reordering
The AI ordering engine analyzes sales forecasts, current stock, vendor lead times, and par levels to recommend or auto-create purchase orders — reducing both stockouts and over-ordering.
Waste Reduction
Categorized waste logging surfaces patterns that drive actionable recommendations. Track spoilage, overproduction, and prep errors to continuously improve food cost percentages.
Multi-Location Support
District and regional managers can view inventory across all locations from a single dashboard, compare par compliance, and identify transfer opportunities between nearby stores.
