Stock, counted in ingredients.
Purchases in, recipe-driven consumption out, wastage logged - one ingredient-level ledger across the kitchen and the store.
Functionality
What ingredient inventory does
Ingredient-level ledger
Stock is held in ingredients - kilos of flour and litres of oil, not just finished dishes - so what the kitchen actually uses is what the system actually tracks.
Purchases flow in
Goods bought are recorded into stock, so the ledger reflects what came in as well as what went out.
Consumption via recipes
Every dish billed deducts its recipe’s ingredients automatically - consumption records itself as you trade. Explore →
Wastage, logged
Spoilage, spillage and write-offs are recorded against stock - the ledger explains where stock went, not just that it’s gone.
Kitchen and store, one view
Stock across the kitchen and the front store sits in one system - no parallel registers to reconcile.
Variance shows shrinkage
Expected stock - purchases minus recipe consumption and logged wastage - against actual counts. The difference is shrinkage, surfaced in numbers.
Outcomes
What changes in the store room
Ordering gets sharper
A live ledger shows what’s actually running down, so purchases track consumption instead of habit.
Buy what you use.Wastage stops hiding
Logged wastage and computed variance turn “stock seems to vanish” into a number with a cause.
Shrinkage, named.Stock-takes get shorter
Counts reconcile against a live expected figure - the audit starts from data, not from zero.
Hours, not days.Food cost holds steady
Consumption discipline at ingredient level is what keeps recipe costing honest.
The ledger behind the margin.Questions, answered.
At what level is stock tracked?
At ingredient level - raw materials in their own units (kilos, litres, pieces) across the kitchen and store, not just finished dishes.
How is consumption recorded?
Automatically, through recipes. Each dish billed deducts its ingredients from stock, so consumption accumulates as you sell.
Can wastage be recorded?
Yes. Spoilage and other write-offs are logged against stock, so the ledger accounts for stock that didn’t become a sale.
How does DINO show shrinkage?
By variance: expected stock from purchases, recipe consumption and logged wastage is compared with actual stock - the gap is shrinkage, visible in numbers.
Do purchases go into the system too?
Yes. Goods purchased are recorded into ingredient stock, keeping the inward side of the ledger current.
Does inventory data reach my ERP or accounts?
Yes. Purchase and inventory data can flow into your ERP through DINO’s ERP integration.
