Inventory
Stock on hand, stocktakes, bar shifts, waste, recipes, sales imports and variance.
- Stock on Hand
A live, location-by-location view of what you hold, built from the stock ledger.
- Replacing & Retiring Items
Create linked successors, run old stock down safely, and correct a frozen measurement with approval.
- Stocktakes
Blind physical counts, with expected-vs-counted variance and a separate approval step.
- Bar Shifts & Shift Variance
The interval between two counts at one bar, who was answerable for it, and the variance in bottles, tots and KES.
- Bottle Service
Signing sealed bottles out to a table as custody rather than as a stock movement, and accounting for them before the shift closes.
- Waste
Record spoilage, breakage and other write-offs, with approval required above a value threshold.
- Recipes
Recipes and sub-recipes with a yield, and per-outlet costing.
- Sales Imports & Menu Mapping
Import daily sales from a CSV, hand entry, or a Micros PDF that proves its own totals, and map POS items to recipes by PLU number.
