Restaurant inventory becomes difficult when purchasing, recipes, production and stock counts live in separate records. Menulyn connects those workflows so managers can trace stock from supplier receiving through recipe consumption, production, wastage and physical verification.
Stock loss is difficult to investigate when the purchase record, recipe use, wastage and physical count are disconnected. A connected inventory trail makes variances easier to explain and helps managers act before the next stock count.
These capabilities are part of the Menulyn operational feature set and are designed to work with the surrounding sales, stock, staff and reporting records.
