POS integration status

Built for food businesses

Clear inventory workflows for the operators searching for answers now.

KitchenInvy is designed for small food businesses that need practical help with counts, par levels, restocks, waste, recipes, POS mapping, reporting, and mobile inventory work.

Pro iOS and Android companion app

Your inventory should not be trapped on a computer.

The best time to update inventory is often when someone is standing in front of the shelf, cooler, prep table, or truck. KitchenInvy Pro gives your team a computer workspace for planning and reports, plus mobile companion apps for fast counts, barcode scans, and quick manager check-ins.

Pro iOS appPro Android appSame workspace

Count where the stock lives

Pro users can open the companion app in dry storage, cold prep, the truck, or the back office and update counts without carrying a laptop around the building.

Scan instead of searching

Use the device camera for barcode lookup so staff can move item by item with less typing and fewer wrong-item updates.

Same workspace, same sign-in

Your team can use the same Google, Apple, Microsoft, Yahoo, or email method they already use on the website.

Owner visibility on the move

Check low stock, order pressure, waste activity, and reports from wherever the day pulls you next.

Product preview

The daily inventory work finally lives in one place.

KitchenInvy connects the setup, counting, ordering, mobile scans, POS, recipes, reporting, and support work that usually gets scattered across spreadsheets, text messages, paper notes, and memory.

Dashboard

One calm daily command center

See low stock, active alerts, quick inventory updates, and the work that needs attention before service gets hectic.

Inventory and Counts

Built for real storage rooms

Count by location, save a whole section at once, keep item photos and units clear, and let Pro staff work from the computer or companion app.

iOS and Android

Your inventory travels with the shift

Use the Pro companion app to scan, count, review low stock, and sign in with the same provider your team already uses on the website.

POS and Recipes

Turn sales into ingredient insight

Map POS products to recipes, see discounts and pre-discount sales, copy similar recipes, and investigate stock variance.

Reports

Owner-ready numbers without rebuilding the story

Open inventory value, purchases, waste, food cost, turnover, menu margin, change log, and stock variance reports.

What owners feel first

Less cleanup, fewer surprises, and better decisions wherever the day takes you.

KitchenInvy focuses on the moments that make inventory expensive: stale counts, rushed orders, unreviewed waste, desktop-only workflows, and food cost questions that take too long to answer.

Setup

Launch with a cleaner inventory list

Start with manual entry, a guarded spreadsheet upload, or $199 white-glove setup assistance so your team is not stuck typing hundreds of items one by one.

Stockouts

Order before stockouts interrupt service

Use par levels and current counts to see what needs attention before the lunch rush, weekend prep, or supplier cutoff.

Mobile

Manage the kitchen without being tied to the office

Use the Pro iOS and Android companion apps to count stock, scan barcodes, check priorities, and keep work moving from storage, prep, the truck, or the owner’s seat.

Margin

Catch waste and cost drift sooner

Log waste, review recipe cost, compare expected usage, and spot the small inventory issues that quietly pressure profit.

Ease

Give your team a system they can actually use

Staff can count from a phone, managers can review exceptions, and owners can keep sensitive settings and reports protected.

Choose the depth you need

Simple enough for daily use. Deep enough for serious operators.

See the value quickly, then compare the daily workflow, reporting depth, switching reasons, setup support, and data protections when they matter to the decision.

Daily workflowImport items, count stock, scan on mobile, plan orders, track waste, and keep records current.

Understand Food Cost

Why switchMove beyond stale sheets, paper counts, desktop-only workflows, and POS-only reporting.

Spreadsheets get stale fast

A sheet is only accurate until the next unrecorded count, waste event, delivery, or manager note.

POS reports miss ingredient reality

Your POS can show sales, but KitchenInvy helps connect menu items to inventory, recipes, waste, and variance.

Generic inventory tools do not think like kitchens

Food businesses need par levels, storage locations, suppliers, waste approvals, recipe cost, and food-cost reports.

Desktop-only workflows slow teams down

Inventory happens in coolers, storage rooms, trucks, prep areas, and quick manager check-ins. KitchenInvy supports the desk and the mobile moment.

Enterprise systems are often too much

KitchenInvy keeps the daily workflow practical for small teams while still giving owners reports they can act on.

Owner questionsAnswers for teams deciding whether to move beyond spreadsheets.
01

Why switch from spreadsheets?

Spreadsheets are flexible, but they are easy to forget, overwrite, or leave stale. KitchenInvy turns inventory into a daily workflow for counts, order planning, waste, reports, and accountability.

02

Where will we feel value first?

Most teams feel it first in cleaner setup, faster counts, and better order planning. The deeper value comes from waste review, reports, recipe cost, stock variance, and menu margin visibility.

03

Can staff use it without seeing owner-only information?

Yes. Role and page access controls let staff update inventory or submit waste while owners protect reports, billing, user management, and POS setup.

04

What makes the reports useful?

The reports are built around business questions: what is on hand, what was ordered, what was wasted, what changed, and where food cost or margin may need attention.
