Inventory

Store → Costing → Inventory is what is on the shelf, par, unit cost, and deliveries.

Managers and owners only.

Before you start

You can add SKUs with no POS. Recipes and waste $ need unit cost. Reorder on the Dashboard needs par.

On-hand is stock in the cooler (an asset). It is not rent. It is not overhead. When a recipe SKU sells, it shows up on Profits as food, not as inventory sitting there.

Edit in the table or Add item.

Keep unit cost current when the supplier changes price. Inventory is per store — header location before you receive at the right shop.

Use it

Receive delivery: pick a vendor (or manual), upload CSV or type lines, preview, apply. That adds to on-hand. Download a sample CSV for the column layout.

Dashboard reorder uses low/critical vs par. Parsley does not send POs.

If it looks wrong

  • Counts for another store — check the header.
  • Waste $ is $0 — unit cost missing on the SKU the recipe uses.
  • Reorder never fires — par is 0 or on-hand is still above it.
