Stock items and locations
Set up raw materials with their units, and track stock by location — store, kitchen or bar.
Inventory
Restaurant inventory that follows every sale
Know what you bought, what you used and what went missing — with stock that moves when the counter sells.
Stock
From supplier to plate
Purchase orders and goods receipts
Raise purchase orders to suppliers and receive goods against them. Receipts update stock and record what you actually paid.
Sales consume stock
When a dish is sold, its recipe draws down the ingredients. No end-of-day re-keying.
Every movement explained
Adjustments, wastage and transfers need a reason. The stock ledger shows who moved what, and why.
Control
Variance you can act on
Physical counts
Count stock and compare it with what the system expected. The variance report shows where the difference is.
Opening stock
Start with an audited opening stock entry, so your books and your store agree from day one.
Linked to accounts
Purchases and stock adjustments flow into your accounting records. See Accounting.

Questions
Common questions
Do I have to use inventory to use the POS?
No. Many restaurants start with billing and turn on inventory once their menu and recipes are set up.
Can I record wastage?
Yes. Wastage and other adjustments are recorded with a reason and appear in the stock ledger and variance reports.
Does inventory work across outlets?
Yes. Groups can transfer stock between their outlets. See Multi-outlet.
