The problem
Most restaurant owners make key decisions — which dishes to keep on the menu, how much stock to buy, which supplier to choose — based on experience and intuition. This way of managing works up to a point, but when the business grows or margins tighten, intuition is not enough. Without up-to-date data on costs, dish performance and purchasing variances, costly decisions are made that could have been avoided.
How we solve it
Kitchen Stocker automatically generates profitability reports by dish, variance analysis between theoretical and actual food cost, supplier price trends and a product ranking by waste cost. All information updates in real time as you log purchases, inventory and recipes. The result is an operational dashboard that lets you make well-founded decisions at the moment you need them, without waiting for the monthly close.

Frequently asked questions
What reports does Kitchen Stocker generate automatically?
Kitchen Stocker generates reports on food cost by dish and category, inventory valuation, purchasing trends by supplier, waste ranking by product and profitability by period. All update in real time.
Can I export data to analyse in Excel or send to my accountant?
Yes. All reports can be exported in CSV or PDF format, making it easy to integrate with external analysis tools or send to your accounting team.
Do I need to integrate Kitchen Stocker with my POS to get complete profitability data?
POS integration is optional but recommended, as it allows sales data to be automatically cross-referenced with food cost. If you don't have an integration, you can enter sales data manually.
How frequently are reports updated?
Reports update in real time as movements are logged: purchases, stockroom entries, waste or inventory counts. You don't have to wait until the end of the month to have visibility into your business.
