Frequently asked questions

Restaurants usually need stock visibility across dry storage, chilled areas, freezers, prep stations, and service areas. The easiest way to do this is through a mobile inventory system where stock is updated as items arrive, are used, or moved. Staff can search live stock levels directly in the app, which helps kitchen teams know exactly what is available before service starts.
Hotels often manage stock across kitchen, bar, housekeeping, maintenance, and guest services. A practical system should allow each department to record stock separately while management sees everything in one dashboard. This helps avoid one department ordering items that are already available elsewhere.
The most effective way is setting minimum stock thresholds. When stock drops below a chosen level, the system automatically creates an alert so staff know more stock needs to be ordered before service is affected. This is especially useful for high-use ingredients during busy periods.
Each area should be treated as a separate stock location. This allows managers to see exactly where products are held and how fast they are being used, whether it is minibar items, cleaning products, kitchen supplies, or guest consumables.
Catering teams often prepare stock centrally and issue items for each event. A stock check-out process allows teams to record exactly what was taken, by whom, and for which event, creating clear control over stock movement.
A central stock dashboard works best. Branches can request stock directly, and head office or central stores can approve and send items while keeping records accurate.
Waste usually happens when stock is over-ordered or forgotten in storage. A live stock view helps teams use existing stock first and avoid duplicate purchasing.
Stock check-out records allow staff to scan items, enter quantity, add a reason, and sign against the movement. This creates accountability without slowing kitchen operations.
When deliveries arrive, staff can scan products, record quantities, enter supplier invoice numbers, note delivery contact details, and capture signatures. This creates immediate proof of what was received.
Each storage area should be treated as its own location so teams always know where stock sits and how much remains.
Over-ordering usually happens when stock is not visible. A searchable stock list allows staff to check current levels before placing orders.
A stock request feature lets teams request items directly through mobile when preparing for service or events. The request reaches admin or stores immediately for action.
The most useful reports usually include:
  • stock by location
  • low stock alerts
  • item movement history
  • supplier deliveries
  • high-use products
  • staff check-outs
Departments can request stock formally so transfers are recorded and approved instead of happening informally.
Barcode or QR scanning makes expensive stock easier to control because every movement is recorded.
Housekeeping stock can sit inside the same inventory system but remain separated by category and location.
Yes. Mobile use matters because staff often work away from desks. Offline working is especially useful in basements, storage rooms, and service corridors where signal can be weak.
Incoming deliveries can be linked directly to purchase orders and supplier invoice numbers, helping teams quickly confirm if deliveries are correct.
A shared inventory process helps central kitchens issue stock while event teams return unused items later.
The best method is combining live stock visibility, low-stock alerts, and regular mobile stock updates so shortages are identified before they affect operations.
