Not Generic Stock Software

Restaurants do not just count stock. They consume stock through recipes.

A normal inventory list is not enough for a busy kitchen. OrderNow connects stock with menu items, recipe quantities, POS orders, kitchen activity, purchasing and reports.

01

Ingredient Tracking

Track raw materials, semi-finished items and finished goods with units, stock levels and cost per unit.

02

Recipe Mapping

Link each menu item to ingredients and quantities so usage can be calculated correctly.

03

Stock Deduction

Deduct ingredients when dishes are sold through POS, QR ordering or online order flows.

04

Food Cost Control

See recipe cost, COGS, stock value, wastage and purchasing data for better pricing decisions.

The Real Problem

Manual inventory is where restaurant profit quietly disappears.

Stock loss often starts with small mistakes: ingredients used but not deducted, wrong recipe portions, supplier mismatches, wastage not recorded, branch transfers handled manually and low stock discovered during service.

  • Reduce manual stock count mistakes and missed deductions.
  • Find low stock and out of stock items before they hurt service.
  • Replace scattered spreadsheets with one live inventory view.
