Inventory

INVENTORY lowers your food costs and saves time. We’ll extend your inventory instantly, identify shrinkage problems, track receiving, automate purchasing, audit pricing, and keep as much history as you want. Every report provides tremendous custom capabilities for date range, level of detail, sorting, and selection. Inventory control has never been so easy. All inventory transactions allow you to enter case AND/OR pack units. This is an incredible time-saver, and eliminates many operator errors.

POS

The interface reads the sales mix directly into Sales Analysis for reporting. Perpetual depletion (menu explosion) additionally requires Inventory and Recipe. Please contact your point-of-sale dealer for their capabilities, or have them call us for interface details.

We interface with the following manufacturers, and others who may not be listed:

ýOpený systems: Aloha, Action Systems, Digital Dining, HSI, PosiTouch, QuickTouch, RMS, Sable, SellWise, Squirrel, Touch’n’Serve, TouchMenu, etc. ýProprietaryý systems: Casio, Comptrex, Datasym, NCR, Omron, Panasonic, PC/POLL, Sharp, TEC, etc.

Recipe

RECIPE is a tremendous food costing tool. You’ll have instant ýpre-costý information based on your most current food costs. No more guesswork, no more surprise food cost fluctuations. Standardized recipes mean greater consistency, better food costs, and more satisfied customers. Re-work your current recipe and develop new concepts in a snap!

Sales Analysis

SALES ANALYSIS tracks your sales mix information for any period of time. We’ll provide an instant analysis of your most and least popular and profitable items. Customized reports help you make informed decisions about your menu’s cost-effectiveness. Sales Analysis provides an instant ýperfectý or ýtheoreticalý food cost based on your most current inventory costs. Unlike POS sales reports, CostGuard uses your actual inventory prices.
