Real-time inventory
Stock updated instantly. Low-stock alerts before you run out.
In July and August, a well-located beach bar can triple its sales volume compared to the off-season. Demand is unpredictable depending on weather, tides, and tourist flow. In that context, running out of cold beer at 3pm, out of prawns for the rice dish, or out of bottled water means lost sales that cannot be recovered. Inventory management during peak season cannot depend on a manager's memory or a spreadsheet updated once a week. Kitchen Stocker lets you set minimum stock levels with automatic alerts for every product — drinks, fresh produce, canned goods — so the manager is notified before the problem occurs, with enough time to place an emergency order if needed.
Drinks typically represent 35–50% of a beach bar's sales. Controlling drink inventory — beer by type, soft drinks, water, wines, sangria, cocktails — is more critical than any other product. Running out of beer on a summer afternoon doesn't just lose that one sale: the customer asks for the bill and leaves. Kitchen Stocker lets you track drink stock by unit, case, or keg, with reorder alerts configured for each product. Consumption history by day and week lets you align orders with the real demand pattern and reduce excess stock taking up space in the cold room.

Fresh fish and seafood are the gastronomic engine of the beach bar — and also its biggest waste risk: one day with fewer tourists than expected, and the produce bought that morning may not sell before closing. Without a waste logging system, that cost is invisible: it shows up as consumption in the food cost even though the product was actually thrown away. Kitchen Stocker lets you log fresh produce waste from your phone at the end of each service — product, quantity, reason — and see the cumulative impact week by week. With data from several weeks, patterns emerge by day type (weekday / holiday / local event) that allow you to align fresh produce orders with the real expected volume.
How long does it take to set up?
Most restaurants are up and running in under 48 hours. The setup wizard guides your team step by step.
Do I need technical knowledge?
No. Kitchen Stocker is designed for the head chef or manager to use directly, without needing IT.
What if we're already using Excel?
You can import your current inventory from a CSV in minutes. You don't start from scratch.
Yes. You can pause the subscription outside the season and reactivate it at the start of the next one, with all your data and settings preserved. The previous season's inventory is available as a reference for planning initial orders.
You log each incoming delivery as a purchase when it arrives, with the quantity and invoice price. At the end of service, you log waste for anything that didn't sell. The system automatically calculates the real cost of what was consumed during service.
Yes. You can organise your catalogue by area — kitchen, bar, cellar — and manage each area's inventory independently, with transfers recorded between areas when bar staff bring drinks up from storage.
Kitchen Stocker requires a connection to sync data. In areas with limited coverage, entries are saved locally and synced when the connection improves. For locations with no coverage at all, contact the support team to discuss available options.
A beach bar with 100–150 products can be fully operational in under 48 hours. If you have your catalogue in Excel, you can import it via CSV. The support team is available to help with the initial setup before the season begins.
