Restaurant Inventory Management System

Solution

Softarex has taken part in the development of a Restaurant Inventory Management System*. It’s a web-based application that brings visibility to the kitchen workflow and helps optimize inventory purchasing according to the restaurant’s actual stocking needs. The developed solution can be easily customized to meet the specific needs of a restaurant of any size and type.

The Restaurant Inventory Management System by Softarex provides the following functionality:

• Restaurant demand management based on real-time AI analysis of online and offline orders, the creation of production plans for the kitchen, and inventory management.
• Calendar — allows users to create restaurant events — from wine tastings to wedding receptions for 100 guests — and specify all necessary attributes: type, the number of guests, menu, staff assigned to serve an event, etc.
• Stations — users can create an unlimited number of cooking stations: dessert, sauté, grill, etc., and assign line chefs to execute orders. Staff can leave notes about the stations they work at for other shifts.
• Task management using kanban boards. Restaurant managers can create, assign tasks and check their completion percentage.
• Recipes — users can create detailed recipes and upload photos and videos to visualize the cooking process in detail.
• Menus — all the recipes can be grouped into menus and then sorted into easily managed Trello-like categories.
• Inventory management — automatically adds items from today’s menu, grouped by recipes, to the to-do list of each kitchen station. Chefs can update the status of ingredients once they have been inspected and prepared for use in cooking.
• Shopping list — enables restaurant managers to create shopping lists.
• Chat — communication channel for staff working at different kitchen stations.
• Role-based access control — allows users to define access permissions for each staff member.
• Thanks to the adaptive interface of our solution, all the above features are available using both a computer and a tablet.
