Inventory Management System That Reduced Food Waste by 60%
Client: Restaurant Group
⚠️Problem
The restaurant group was tracking inventory manually in Excel. This led to over-ordering, food waste, and frequent stockouts of popular items. There was no way to predict demand or optimize ordering.
💡Solution
We built a smart inventory management system that tracks stock levels in real-time, predicts demand based on historical data, and automatically generates purchase orders. The system integrates with their POS and accounting software.
Before
~$8,000/month in food waste, frequent stockouts, 10+ hours/week on inventory management
After
~$3,200/month in food waste, 95% reduction in stockouts, 2 hours/week on inventory
📊Results
60% reduction in food waste, $57,600 saved annually, 80% time saved on inventory tasks
The ROI was incredible. The system paid for itself in less than 3 months just from reduced waste.
