Inventory

Restaurant inventory management: stock drops with every order, and you're alerted before you run out

In Zeat, every order you record updates your stock. No more waiting for the end-of-night count to find out you're short on fish or bottles: you get an alert before an item runs out. And you can follow your stock live, even when you're not at the restaurant.

What this changes for you

What you gain

Fewer stock-outs mid-service

The alert comes before the item runs out, giving you time to restock or give the floor a heads-up.

What you see

Live stock levels

Stock moves with what you sell during service, not with a count copied out the next day.

What comes to light

Discrepancies

When every sale is recorded, any gap between expected stock and counted stock jumps out at you.

Stock follows sales

Every order placed in Zeat, whether by the guest or by a server, reduces the stock of the items sold. There's nothing to re-enter: stock moves at the pace of service.

An alert before you run out

When an item is running low, Zeat lets you know. That gives you time to restock, or to warn the floor before a guest orders a dish you can no longer serve.

Track stock remotely

Tonight's sales and your stock levels are visible live, even from a distance. An owner who isn't on site can see what's selling and what's about to run out, without calling the team.

Keep counting regularly

Live tracking doesn't replace a physical count. Keep a regular count of your expensive items, like bottles, meat or fish. With sales recorded in Zeat, comparing the two is quick and losses show up sooner.
