Restaurant inventory management that ties stock to what you actually sell

Restaurant inventory management is the process of tracking what you buy, what you use and what is left, so you can see what your stock is worth and where it is going. In Restovax, ingredients are counted in their own units, purchases update stock and cost, and recipes link dishes to ingredients — so selling a dish deducts its ingredients automatically and the gap between expected and counted stock (variance) is measurable.

The problem this solves

Most stock problems are invisible until the month-end count. Without a link between sales and stock, a missing crate of drinks or an over-portioned dish looks the same as normal usage. By the time the numbers do not add up, the trail is cold.

What Restovax does here

  • Track ingredients and supplies by their own unit and by location
  • Record supplier purchases so stock levels and ingredient costs stay current
  • Do stock counts and see the variance between expected and counted quantities
  • Link recipes to ingredients so a sale deducts stock automatically
  • See stock on hand and its value, with low-stock alerts by email

How it works

  1. 1

    Set up your items

    Add ingredients and supplies with the unit you buy and count them in.

  2. 2

    Record purchases

    Enter supplier deliveries. Stock goes up and the ingredient cost updates from what you paid.

  3. 3

    Link recipes

    Build each dish from its ingredients with quantities. From then on, selling the dish deducts the ingredients.

  4. 4

    Count and compare

    Do a physical count on a schedule. Restovax shows the variance against expected stock so you can see which items are leaking.
