Four brands, one walk-in. Know who is using the paneer.
Every order from every brand draws down the same shelves. Essen4u converts each order into ingredient usage through the master menu recipes, so stock levels, low-stock alerts and sold-out states stay accurate across brands and platforms.
How stock stays in sync
Orders become ingredients. Ingredients decide availability.
Recipes carry quantities
Each master dish lists what it uses per portion, including brand-specific portion sizes.
Every order draws down stock
An order on any platform, for any brand, reduces the shared ingredient balance it uses.
Alerts before the shelf is empty
Stock is compared with the demand forecast, so alerts arrive while there is still time to reorder or prep.
Sold out everywhere at once
If an ingredient runs out, every listing that needs it can be switched off on every platform together.
One shared balance
No brand keeps its own stock count. Usage from every brand lands on the same ingredient.
Par levels
Set a par level per ingredient and see where each one stands at a glance.
Forecast-based alerts
Alerts consider what the evening is expected to need, not just what is on the shelf now.
Automatic sold out
Optionally pull dependent listings off every platform when an ingredient hits zero.
Stock counts
Record opening and closing counts and see the gap between expected and actual usage.
Tied to food cost
Updated ingredient costs flow into dish food cost and from there into margin and pricing.
Questions
Inventory, answered.
Do I need to count stock every day?
Usage is tracked automatically from orders. Regular counts are recommended so the system can show the difference between expected and actual usage.
Can one ingredient be used by several brands at different portions?
Yes. Portion sizes are defined per brand listing, and usage is calculated from the portion each brand actually serves.
What happens when an ingredient runs out?
You choose. Dependent listings can be switched off automatically on every platform, or you can receive an alert and decide yourself.
