Restaurant purchase management that keeps stock and cost current

Restaurant purchase management is recording what you buy from suppliers so it flows into the rest of the system. In Restovax you enter a supplier delivery against your inventory items; stock goes up by what arrived, and each ingredient’s cost updates to what you paid. From there, recipe costs and food-cost percentages move on their own, and the spend shows up against sales in reporting.

The problem this solves

When purchases live on paper invoices in a drawer, stock on the system is always wrong, ingredient costs are last year’s, and nobody can say what the kitchen actually spent this week until the accountant catches up.

What Restovax does here

  • Enter supplier deliveries against inventory items, with quantities and prices
  • Stock levels rise by what was received
  • Ingredient costs update to the latest purchase price
  • Recipe costs and food-cost percentages follow automatically
  • Purchase spend sits alongside sales and expenses in reporting

What changes for the business

Stock on the system matches what is on the shelf
