Sold products automatically decrement raw ingredient stock layers based on master recipe specs.
Physical Variance Audit
Stock count variances and damaged goods write-offs require sign-off and post to expense ledgers.
Operational Breakdown & Workflow
Specific operational and ledger mechanisms configured for this domain.
Stock and warehouses
Inventory items link to menu or sellable products. Storage locations support warehouse, freezer, dispatch, and damaged stock.
Batches and fulfilment
Batch tracking, manufacturing and expiry dates, and fulfilment flags so POS can refuse sales that lack available quantity.
Costing
Weighted-average cost, opening stock receipts, and recipe roll-ups support COGS rather than a disconnected stock spreadsheet.
