Do you feel that every month you buy a car full of ingredients, but it doesn’t show in your sales? Stocktakes never match, even though “everything should be there”? Or your weekends are weaker and you don’t know whether it’s really due to fewer guests or just because you’re not personally at the till?
Stock management in Storyous is an add-on feature of the POS system that links sales at the till with movements in stock. Thanks to this, you can see exactly where your ingredients and money end up – whether it’s normal consumption, poorly set portions, or theft in the kitchen or at the bar.
Benefits of using Stocks
From our experience with customers, we know that without proper stock management, money is lost in the hundreds to thousands of euros per year – whether through theft, incorrect portioning, or an unnecessarily overfilled store room that never turns into sales.
Stocks in Storyous give you concrete figures and evidence, not just suspicions. This allows you to step in in time.
1. Control over losses and theft
- Comparing sales and stock decrease shows you whether meat is disappearing by the kilo, whether someone is pouring “stronger” drinks, or whether staff are skimming takings.
- You can spot situations where the numbers don’t add up much faster – the system simply cannot be fooled.
2. Clear stock levels without chaos
- In one place you can see what you have a lot of and what you are running low on – you order in time, you don’t unnecessarily tie up money in stock, and you avoid running out of beer or meat on a Friday evening.
- You can prepare for seasons, festivals, weddings or busy weekends based on real figures, not guesswork.
3. Real food cost and margins, not just a feeling
- Thanks to recipes, the system calculates food cost (costs) and margin from the real purchase prices of ingredients for each product.
- When a supplier increases prices, you immediately see how it affects your costs and profit – and you can adjust prices or recipes accordingly.
4. Stress-free stocktakes
- You have a full movement history available for accounting and inspections, and you can retrospectively track what happened with stock on a specific day.
Stock features
The workflow is simple and logically follows what you already do in the system today:
Stocking goods in
In the administration you enter the goods receipt – delivery note, quantities and purchase prices. This increases the stock levels in your store room.Linking sales with recipes
For products at the till, you set how much of which ingredients (from stock) are deducted with each sale.You sell as before, the system does the tracking for you
With every sale, the relevant quantities of ingredients are automatically deducted from stock, without the staff having to do anything extra.Overview of current stock levels and stock value
In the administration you always have a real-time overview of how much you have in stock, how much you paid for it and what margin it brings you.
