Inventory Software for Restaurants & Cafes

Ingredient stock that moves with every dish — so food costs stay in check and you never run out mid-service.

For Restaurant & cafe businesses

A restaurant holds raw ingredients, not finished goods — rice by the kilo, oil by the litre, paneer by the kilogram — and every dish sold draws down the kitchen stock invisibly. Without ingredient-level tracking, food costs creep up, over-ordering fills the bin, and a missing item discovered at 7 PM means a disappointed table.

How Restaurant & cafe stock is tracked

Restaurant stock is ingredient-first: 399Apps tracks kitchen inventory in the units you actually receive — kilograms, litres, dozens — and lets you issue stock to the kitchen daily or by shift. Perishable lines (dairy, fresh produce, bread) carry expiry so you right-size daily orders and waste nothing; minimum-level alerts fire before the dinner rush so you have time to reorder; and multiple supplier rates on cooking oil or vegetables let you make margin-aware buying decisions.

The stock problems it solves

Different trade, same trap — stock that drifts from what the books say. Here's what 399Apps keeps straight for restaurants & cafes:

Ingredient vs finished goods

Raw materials tracked by weight and volume — separate from packaged beverages or counter items sold directly.

Daily perishable waste

Fresh produce and dairy that spoil if over-ordered — low-stock alerts help right-size daily orders.

Multiple suppliers, same ingredient

Compare oil, vegetable and protein rates across suppliers before buying to control food cost.

Pre-service stock blindspot

A missing ingredient discovered mid-service is avoidable with minimum-level alerts set per item.

What you get

  • ✓Ingredient stock by weight / volume / unit
  • ✓Daily kitchen stock issue by shift
  • ✓Expiry tracking on perishable lines
  • ✓Minimum-stock alerts before service
  • ✓Supplier-wise purchase rate comparison
  • ✓GST-correct purchase receipts & sale invoices

One flat price — stock and billing together

Legacy inventory software charges per user and hides stock control behind an add-on module. 399Apps is a flat ₹399/month per app for each additional app — inventory and GST billing in one system, unlimited users, cloud or self-hosted. Adding staff never raises the bill.
