Easy-to-use inventory management software for your restaurant.

When inventory management is done right, it helps restaurants reduce waste, save on costs, improve menu planning, and ultimately increase their profitability. The use of inventory software greatly improves the accuracy and efficiency of the inventory management process.

4. Sync Your Inventory: After entering all items, synchronize your data. WISK will then update your inventory in real-time, giving you immediate insight into your stock levels.

WISK’s platform supports multiple units of measurement and partial quantities, simplifying measurements for items like open wine bottles or bulk goods. With WISK, inventory becomes a fast, efficient, and transparent process.

When choosing an inventory solution, consider its user-friendliness, integration with existing systems, real-time tracking capabilities, insightful reporting and analytics, reliable customer support, and cost-effectiveness.

Effective restaurant inventory management directly impacts vital financial metrics such as your Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) and Prime Cost. It optimizes food cost control by preventing overstocking or understocking, and reduces waste. Lower your COGS by making smarter purchasing and menu pricing decisions using accurate data. 

WISK tracks inventory using a combination of barcode scanning, manual input, and real-time data synchronization. After the data is entered, inventory data is synchronized and updated in real time on WISK’s platform. Inventory levels, usage patterns, and variance are then analyzed and made available to users, delivering valuable insights on managing their stock effectively.
