Practical questions

Start with count units, storage areas, and a schedule your team can keep.

How to set up restaurant inventory
What does restaurant inventory software track?

It connects physical counts with purchases, transfers, waste, and adjustments. In opsi, food, beverages, and prepared recipes can be counted in the units your team uses. On-Hand shows recorded quantities and values by location; a physical count confirms what is actually on the shelf.

How do I find food inventory variance?

Compare actual usage between two completed counts with theoretical usage from recipe quantities and mapped POS sales. A positive difference means more was used than sales explain. Recorded waste and loss adjustments account for part of that difference, helping you narrow the follow-up.

Can inventory counts help with ordering?

Yes. Purchasing uses pars and recorded on-hand quantities to suggest what to order. Your team checks stock, reviews the vendor and pack quantities, and sends the purchase order when it is ready.
