Food manufacturing and retail
The factory has one system, the shops have another, and a spreadsheet decides which one is right
What it costs you today
- 01
The shop's sales and the factory's production are reconciled at month end, by hand.
By the time the two agree, the month is over. Nobody can answer what a product actually costs to make and sell while there is still time to change the price or the recipe.
- 02
The recipe says one yield and the kitchen gets another, and the difference is absorbed.
In food, a yield variance of a few percent on a high-volume line is the entire margin. If theoretical consumption is never compared to actual, waste and over-portioning are invisible and permanent.
- 03
Shelf life is managed by whoever is looking at the shelf.
Expiry write-offs are the most preventable loss in the business, and near-expiry stock that could still be moved on promotion is instead discovered on the day it becomes rubbish.
What the system does about it
One system from the kitchen to the till
Point of sale, manufacturing, purchasing, inventory, accounting and HR on the same records. The reconciliation step disappears because there is nothing to reconcile — the sale at the outlet and the production order in the factory move the same stock.
Recipes with real yield
Theoretical consumption from the recipe against actual consumption from the floor, per production run. Yield variance becomes a number you look at daily rather than a gap you discover in the year-end stock count.
Shelf life and batch control
Expiry dates carried on the lot, FEFO on picking, and near-expiry stock listed while it can still be sold. Full lot traceability from supplier delivery through production to the outlet that sold it.
Outlet-level profit and loss
Revenue, material, labour and waste per shop, on the same basis. The comparison between your best branch and your worst becomes an operational conversation instead of an argument.
