Six screens that show how the cost picture is built
This is the same sequence we walk in a live demo — count, order, match, cost, explain, ask. Each step feeds the next, which is why the final number holds up.

The count that starts everything
Count sheets follow your storage areas, work offline, and remember last period's numbers so an outlier is obvious while the person is still standing there.
- Area-by-area sheets
- Offline capture and sync
- Scan-to-count
- Variance flags at entry
Orders built from par, not memory
Suggested quantities come from par levels and current on-hand. Approvals apply above threshold, and the order goes to the vendor electronically.
- Par-based suggestions
- Vendor order guides
- Approval thresholds
- Contract price checks
Invoices matched before they're paid
Captured invoice lines match to the PO and the receipt. Only the exceptions — price moves, short quantities, unexpected items — need a human.
- Three-way match
- Exception queue
- Price change detection
- Credit tracking
Plate cost that updates itself
Recipes cost from recorded purchase prices with yields and sub-recipes applied, so a vendor increase shows up as a margin change on specific menu items.
- Current plate cost
- Yields and sub-recipes
- Menu engineering
- Price scenarios
Actual vs theoretical, with the reason
The gap between what should have been used and what was used, broken to item and location — the report that turns cost control into specific actions.
- Variance by category and item
- Location ranking
- Trend across periods
- Drill to source records
