Digitial Dining Inventory
Tracking inventory is too hard and takes too much time… not anymore! With DIGITAL DINING, menu items and their recipes are automatically reduced each time your server pays a guest check. Stock taking is simplified with printed forms that help you identify variances immediately and take corrective measures promptly.
Ordering and receiving stock is even easier … Suggested reorders are saved for incoming invoices, immediately updating stock and calculating new costs. DIGITAL DINING provides the critical information you need to reduce waste, lower food costs, and increase profits effortlessly with POS inventory in North Charleston.
Features of Note:
Back Office Recipes
Create and maintain portion control recipes in the Menu Item Maintenance window. Recipes calculate food costs based on the latest inventory costing information. Recipes also allow DIGITAL DINING to calculate expected usage based on your sales and compares this with your actual usage, highlighting any variances.
Batch and Sub Recipes
Many restaurants produce substantial amounts of sauces and other mixes that are then used in other recipes. Batch recipes accurately account for all of the ingredients that comprise a batch. Sub recipes help you maintain menu items by, for example, replacing three or four items in mixed vegetables with a single sub recipe.
Scalability
DIGITAL DINING’s versatile Inventory features allow you to maintain an operation of any size, whether it is a small tavern or multiple dining rooms in a large hotel. If you need to track multiple profit centers, kitchens, or bars, DIGITAL DINING’s Inventory features have the tools to meet your restaurant’s needs.
Key Items
The old “80/20 Rule” applies to most restaurants’ inventories. That is, 20 percent of the items in your inventory represent 80 percent of the cost. Use the Key Items feature to “tag” and track the 20 percent of your inventory items that account for 80 percent of the cost of your sales.
Handheld Stock Takes
Use the same handheld PC that you use at the POS to take inventory. Let the handheld do the calculations for each of your item entry purchase counts, storage and usage units, or any combination. The handheld PC eliminates double-entries and greatly reduces data entry errors faster than ever before.
