Bakery Inventory and Reorder Tracking
Inventory tracks ingredients and packing material as batches are baked, with reorder levels per item and wastage recorded at closing. Stock on screen follows production instead of the last manual count.
Stock that moves with production
Each batch takes off the quantities its recipe lists, and stock falls as the baking happens, so the figure at closing sits close to what is in the store. It is not last Sunday’s count.
What the module tracks
The evening check
Tomorrow’s production plan is compared with the stock on hand. Anything short becomes a purchase order that same evening, from one screen. That is the whole of it.
Physical counts still needed
Butter is used generously, a bag tears, cream goes into a trial batch. The recorded figure drifts from the real one. A physical count every week or two corrects it, and checking a recorded number is quicker than building one from nothing.
Frequently asked questions
Do recipes have to be entered?
Yes, for consumption to come off production. Entering them is a one-time job during set-up, and it is what makes stock fall as batches are baked, without anyone adjusting the figure by hand.
Does it track expiry dates?
No, not batch by batch. It keeps quantity on hand, reorder levels and wastage. Dairy that spoils before it is used shows up in the wastage figure, and not as a warning beforehand.
Can it show what an item costs now?
Yes. Purchase rates are recorded as they change, so the cost of a product moves with them. A cake that showed one margin last year can show another this year.
Does stock stay separate across outlets and a central kitchen?
Yes. Each counter carries its own stock and the central kitchen carries the ingredients. Transfers between them are recorded as they leave, and they are not reconciled at month end.
