Food cost tracking
Your food cost, live. Not at month-end.
COGS, plate cost, and variance — calculated from your actual counts, invoices, and sales and updated every time the data changes. No period-end reconciliation scramble.
Real-time COGS
This week's number. Right now.
Beginning inventory + purchases − ending inventory, calculated continuously from your counts and invoices. See your food cost % trend by day, week, or month without waiting for the accountant.
- Food cost % with week-over-week and month-over-month trend
- Drill into any number to see the source count or invoice
- Filter by category, vendor, or location
Plate costs that update themselves
Price a recipe once.
Link ingredients to menu items with quantities and yields. The moment an invoice changes an ingredient cost, every recipe using it re-prices — no manual recalculation.
- Recipe builder with sub-recipes (mise en place, sauces)
- Plate cost, gross margin, and suggested menu price per item
- Yield and waste factors baked into the math
Variance analysis
What you should have used.
Connect your POS and Stockcount compares theoretical usage (based on sales × recipe) against actual usage (based on counts). The gap is your waste, theft, or menu-engineering problem — and it's finally visible.
- Theoretical vs actual usage per ingredient, per week
- Flags items with consistent variance (trend tracking)
- Works with Square today; Toast on the roadmap
Anomaly detection
When something's off.
Stockcount watches for things that shouldn't happen — a 20% price jump on coffee, a sudden variance spike on proteins, a missing count on a high-cost SKU. Daily digest, not noisy real-time alerts.
- Price change alerts (vendor-scoped, over configurable threshold)
- Variance spike detection per ingredient
- Overdue count reminders on high-cost or high-velocity items
