StockPilot — Restaurant Inventory
StockPilot is a restaurant inventory management platform designed to track ingredient levels, monitor expirations, manage supplier purchase orders, and reduce food waste through real-time visibility across kitchen operations.
Project overview
- Real-time stock levels, expirations, and spend in one dashboard
- Inventory visibility
- Proactive expiration alerts replace reactive disposal
- Reduced food waste
- Barcode scanning and mobile workflows cut count time significantly
- Faster stock counts
- Supplier-level spend tracking and budget alerts prevent cost overruns
- Spend control
The challenge
Restaurant kitchens frequently rely on manual inventory counts, paper-based purchase orders, and paper spreadsheets to track ingredients. Chefs and kitchen managers often discover stockouts mid-service, lose track of expiration dates leading to unnecessary waste, and have no consolidated view of spending across multiple suppliers. This lack of real-time inventory visibility results in emergency orders, food waste, inconsistent portioning, and unpredictable food cost margins.
The solution
StockPilot provides a unified inventory dashboard that gives kitchen managers real-time visibility into stock levels, item expirations, and spending patterns across all suppliers. Staff use a dedicated mobile app to perform stock counts via barcode scanning, receive low-stock and expiration alerts, and submit purchase orders directly from the kitchen floor. The platform includes recipe-level ingredient mapping, waste logging, and a spend analytics layer that helps operators maintain consistent food cost margins.
