Waste log

Waste log, up close.

  • Seconds to log

    Pick the item, enter the quantity, choose a reason — spoilage, spillage, comp, over-pour — and it's logged against the person and the shift.

  • Draws down inventory

    Every entry takes the quantity off the on-hand count, so the next order is worked out from what's really on the shelf.

  • Costed automatically

    Each entry is priced at the item's real unit cost, and the running total at the top is what waste has cost this month.

  • Patterns

    See the most-wasted items and the reasons behind them per location — the milk that keeps expiring, the pastry that's always over-baked.

Good to know

Does waste affect my P&L?

Waste is costed so you can see it; your food cost in the P&L is set by your food-cost target and recipes.
