Restaurant POS SoftwareRestaurant Inventory & Recipe Costing Software
Know what each dish costs and what is left in the store. Recipes link every dish to raw materials, so selling a plate deducts the ingredients and the food cost percentage is always in front of you.
Why Restaurants Need Recipe-Based Inventory
Food cost is the biggest controllable expense in a restaurant. Without recipes, stock is guessed from purchases, and wastage, theft or over-portioning go unnoticed until the month-end. With recipes, the system knows what each plate should consume and compares it with what actually left the store.
NexoraRMS-POS links each menu item to raw materials in a recipe. When a bill is settled, ingredient stock is deducted by the server. Prepared materials such as gravy or dough can be produced from raw materials and then used in dishes.
Inventory Features

Units, purchase rate, reorder level and current stock for every ingredient.

Food cost %

Stock Variance: Expected vs Actual
The stock variance report compares the stock the recipes say should be left with the stock counted. A gap shows wastage, portion errors or leakage, and tells you which materials to watch.
Every stock change is recorded in a stock ledger that shows date, type and reference, so a number can always be traced back.
- Stock deducted when the bill is settled
- Stock ledger with reference
- Wastage entries with reason
- Variance report after a count
- Reorder to purchase order to WhatsApp to vendor
