What Inventory Mismanagement Really Costs

  • i

    Overstocking means wasted ingredients and expired stock

  • ii

    Understocking means running out mid-service

  • iii

    No visibility means no idea what a dish really costs

  • iv

    Paper logs and spreadsheets introduce errors nobody catches

02

Dinemetrics vs. Clipboard and Spreadsheet

Clipboard and Spreadsheet

  • A physical count at the end of every shift
  • Stock levels that are already wrong by the time you check them
  • Reordering based on a hunch, not the actual usage rate
  • No idea what a dish costs until the invoice hits
  • One missed count away from a mid-service shortage
  • No way to know if 86'ing a dish is even necessary

Everything Stock Control Actually Needs

Stock That Updates Itself

01
  • Map ingredients once and every sale deducts the exact raw materials used, automatically.
  • Low-stock alerts reach you before a bestseller has to come off the menu.
  • Stock movement reports reveal usage trends and which ingredients move fastest.

Recipe Costing, Per Dish

02
  • Ingredient cost calculated automatically for every menu item.
  • Margins visible at a glance, not buried in a spreadsheet.

Purchase Orders on Autopilot

03
  • Orders generate and send themselves to your supplier automatically when stock hits your minimum threshold.
  • Low-stock items surface automatically while you're building any purchase order, so nothing gets missed.

Forecasting That Learns

04
  • Demand predictions based on your actual sales history.
  • Seasonal patterns factored in automatically, not manually.

Every Location, One View

05
  • Multi-branch sync keeps stock levels consistent across sites.
  • Compare locations to spot which one is over-ordering.

Out of Stock? Your Call

06
  • Auto-remove the dish from the menu the moment an ingredient hits zero — no awkward table conversations.
  • Or keep selling it if you'd rather manage substitutions yourself — the choice is always yours, per item.
