Introduction: The Unique Challenges of Restaurant Inventory

Restaurants operate in a fast-paced environment where managing food stock, ingredients, and supplies is crucial to success. Unlike retail stores, restaurant inventory involves perishable items with expiry dates, variable usage rates, and high wastage risk.

Poor inventory management leads to:

• Food wastage
• Increased food costs
• Stockouts causing menu unavailability
• Inefficient kitchen operations
• Lower profit margins

Efficient inventory control combined with billing is essential to run a profitable restaurant.

The Cost of Poor Inventory Management in Restaurants

Studies show that restaurants lose 4% to 10% of revenue due to food waste and theft linked to poor inventory tracking.

Without clear visibility, owners cannot:

• Forecast ingredient needs accurately
• Identify slow-moving or spoiled stock
• Control portion sizes and ingredient usage
• Prevent over-ordering or stockouts
