HotSchedules Inventory 1.10

HotSchedules Count offers a comprehensive solution for small and independent restaurant operators seeking to optimize their inventory management.

This application addresses these challenges with a modern, user-friendly approach.

Designed specifically for smaller operations, HotSchedules Count provides a mobile platform for accurate on-hand inventory counts and automated ordering for items falling below predetermined par levels.

The application allows users to manage vendors effortlessly—adding or removing items, generating purchase orders, and reviewing past orders—thus streamlining the procurement process.

The customizable dashboard and reporting tools facilitate detailed analysis of inventory data, including sales mix, gross profit margins, and cost of goods sold. Users can review outstanding orders, track receiving costs, and generate point-in-time inventory reports to maintain optimal stock levels.

The counting process itself is simplified with capabilities such as offline counting support, multi-unit measurement counting, and location-based organization. Users can perform counts quickly, correct mistakes on the spot, and queue replenishment orders with a single tap. The system also supports exporting data via email for record-keeping or further analysis.

Additional functionalities include recipe management—allowing drag-and-drop ingredient modifications and automatic profit calculations—as well as store-level management features like setting par levels, organizing items by location, and importing vendor catalogs efficiently.

Overall, HotSchedules Count is a tailored solution that combines ease of use with robust features designed to reduce errors, save time, improve inventory accuracy, and control costs—all critical factors for the success of small-scale food service operations.
