The problem

Why food & beverage inventory is hard

Short shelf life

Every extra unit has a deadline. Overproduction becomes waste, underproduction becomes lost sales.

Ingredients and packaging

A run needs every ingredient and every piece of packaging on hand at once.

Seasonal peaks

Gifting seasons and summer drinks create peaks that a simple average misses.

A typical rhythm

What planning looks like week to week

  1. 01

    Before a run

    Check the material requirements report so every input is on hand.

  2. 02

    After a run

    Record the work order and lot so expiry tracking starts immediately.

  3. 03

    Weekly

    Review expiring lots and push them through promotions or bundles.
