FAQ
Restaurant inventory management goes far beyond tracking food, it also includes beverages, disposables, and cleaning supplies. This FAQ explains what to expect from modern inventory software, including ingredient- and recipe-level tracking, mobile tools for staff, and ease of use in the kitchen. You’ll also learn how R365 integrates with POS, accounting, and procurement systems while supporting multi-location operations with centralized oversight.
What exactly counts as “restaurant inventory” (food, beverage, disposables, cleaning, etc.)?
Restaurant inventory includes all consumables used in operations, such as food, beverages, disposables (cups, napkins, packaging), and cleaning supplies. It does not include fixed assets like equipment or furniture, or operating items like office supplies. In short, it covers everything regularly consumed and replenished to run the restaurant.
What features should I demand in inventory software for restaurants?
Good restaurant inventory software should offer real-time tracking, recipe and menu costing, and waste/variance monitoring. It should integrate with vendors, POS, and accounting, support multi-location transfers, and provide strong reporting on COGS and inventory turnover. These features help control costs, reduce waste, and improve accuracy across operations.
At what level should I track on the ingredient-level, recipe-level, and category-level?
Inventory can be tracked at the ingredient level for tight cost control, the recipe level to link costs to menu profitability, or the category level for simplicity. Smaller restaurants may use category tracking, while larger or cost-sensitive ones track key ingredients in detail. A hybrid approach is best, tracking high-cost items closely and rolling others into categories.
Is the inventory software intuitive enough for back-of-house staff?
R365’s inventory software is generally intuitive for kitchen and back-of-house staff, especially for tasks like counts, waste entry, and receiving. Some staff may face a learning curve, but training and role-based views make it easier to use effectively.
Does R365 integrate with my POS, accounting, and procurement systems?
R365 integrates with major POS systems like Toast, Aloha, Micros, Brink, Clover, Revel, Lightspeed, and Square, pulling in sales, labor, and tender data. It connects with accounting software such as QuickBooks Online and supports procurement/vendor integrations.
Is there a mobile app for staff to count inventory on iPads, tablets, and phones?
Yes, R365 has a mobile app for iOS and Android that lets staff count inventory on phones and tablets. They can enter counts, scan barcodes, and review variances directly in the app.
Does this system support multiple locations with central oversight?
Yes, R365 supports multiple locations with central control and oversight. It offers features like Location Groups, inter-company accounting, centralized reporting, and the ability to assign users access by location.
