Inventory Management for Cafes

The milk delivery is late, oat milk is already gone, and nobody updated the order sheet.

One database for every ingredient, every supplier, every cost. Connected to your recipes so a price change ripples through your entire menu automatically.

Part of the complete Cafe and Coffee Shop OS. One-time payment.

Running inventory with memory and Post-its is not a system. It is a liability.

A supplier raises prices by 12% and you do not catch the menu impact for three weeks. You run out of vanilla syrup on a Saturday because nobody checked stock on Friday. Reordering is reactive. You run out, then scramble, then overpay for rush delivery.

How the inventory system works

01

Every ingredient, one database

Unit costs, current stock, supplier info, reorder thresholds. One source of truth for everything you buy. Updated once, visible everywhere.

02

Connected to recipes and menu pricing

Ingredients link to recipes. Recipes link to menu items. Change a supplier price and see the profit margin shift across your entire menu. No manual recalculation.

03

Supplier management in one place

Contact details, delivery schedules, order history, negotiation notes. Pre-written templates for delivery issues, price discussions, and new orders.

04

Equipment tracking included

Espresso machine service dates, warranty records, daily equipment checks. Know when maintenance is due before something breaks during the morning rush.

Inventory connects to everything else

01

Inventory to Recipe Costing

Ingredient prices automatically flow into recipe cost calculations. Menu profitability stays current without manual updates.

02

Inventory to Daily Financials

Supply costs feed into your daily P&L. See the real cost of goods sold alongside revenue.

03

Inventory to Staff SOPs

Opening and closing checklists reference inventory checks. Staff know what to count and when.
