Inventory

Inventory keeps an eye on stock so you can spot what's running low before it runs out.

What you can do

Track stock quantities for inventory items per branch.
Record stock movements as quantities go in and out.
Spot low-stock items at a glance.
Link each item to a supplier so purchasing knows who to reorder from.
Create prep items — sauces, doughs, marinades you make in batches from other ingredients. Producing a batch consumes the components and adds prep stock, with cost and nutrition rolled up automatically.

Name, unit & quantity — the unit (kg, L, pcs…) is what recipes and movements count in.
Unit cost — what one unit costs you; this is what recipe costing multiplies.
Reorder ≤ level — the point where the item appears in Purchasing’s “needs reordering” list.
Supplier (optional) — pick from your supplier list so reorders know who to call; manage the list in Purchasing.
Prep item (made in-house) — flips the item into a batch product with two extra settings: Yield per batch (how many units one batch produces) and the Prep recipe (which ingredients one batch consumes). Cost per unit is then derived from the recipe — you don’t type it.
Shelf life (hours) & storage — Fridge, Freezer, Dry or Ambient. Sets the USE BY on batch labels and drives the expiry alerts; leave shelf life empty and labels print without a use-by.

1Open “Produce batch” on a prep item and choose how many batches — the dialog shows exactly what stock it will add, what it will consume, and the current derived cost.
2Keep “Print batch labels × N” on and the stickers print as you confirm: a big USE BY bar (TODAY / TMRW / date), who made it, storage, quantity and a batch code like P-250718-041. (Printer setup lives under Setup › Printing; without a label printer they print compactly on the receipt printer.)
3Reprint the newest batch's sticker any time from the item row.
4The “Expiring prep batches” panel lists anything past or within 24 hours of use-by — Discard stamps the batch and writes off the amount you confirm as waste (pre-filled, editable, capped at what's on hand).
