Warehouse Management

Streamline your restaurant's supply chain with Z-Cloud POS Warehouse Management. This feature allows you to centralize stock control, monitor inventory levels, and manage branch demands efficiently from a single platform. Easily transfer stock between branches, track items in real-time, and receive digital confirmations for stock deliveries, ensuring accuracy and accountability. Z-Cloud POS empowers you to optimize storage, reduce waste, and maintain stock availability, enabling smooth operations across all locations. With detailed reporting and analytics, you can make data-driven decisions to improve supply chain efficiency and reduce operational costs.

The Z-Cloud POS system incorporates several features to manage warehouse operations, which are primarily focused on ingredient and product stock management, rather than traditional warehouse management for diverse goods.

Here's a detailed breakdown of how the system handles stock and inventory:

• Ingredient Management:
  • Ingredient Categories: The system allows for categorizing ingredients (e.g., meat, vegetables, spices).
  • Ingredient Units: It supports various units for purchasing and consumption (e.g., kg, liter, pcs).
  • Ingredient Tracking: Each ingredient has a profile with details such as name, code, category, purchase unit, consumption unit, conversion rate, purchase price, and cost per unit.
  • Stock Levels: The system tracks the current stock level of each ingredient.
  • Low Stock Alerts: Users can set an alert quantity for each ingredient, which triggers a notification when stock falls below that level. Low stock is indicated by red text alerts.
  • Bulk Upload: The system supports uploading bulk ingredients via a spreadsheet.
• Stock Control:
  • Stock Auto-Deduct by Sale: The system automatically deducts ingredient stock levels when food items are sold.
  • Ingredient Consumption: When adding or editing a food menu, users can specify the ingredients and their consumption quantities required to prepare each menu item. The system uses this data to calculate total ingredient costs and deduct ingredient stock upon sale.
  • Modifier Stock Deduction: The system also deducts stock for ingredients used in item modifiers (toppings), which allows for precise stock control.
• Pre-Made Food Management:
  • Pre-Made Food Items: The system allows for the creation of pre-made food items (e.g., pizza dough) that are themselves made from other ingredients.
  • Production Tracking: It can track the production of pre-made food, increasing the stock of pre-made food and deducting the stock of the ingredients that were used. This ensures that the ingredients used to make pre-made items are correctly deducted from the stock, and the pre-made items are correctly added to the stock.
  • Pre-Made Food Usage: When a food item using pre-made food is sold, the pre-made food stock is also reduced.
• Stock Adjustments:
  • The system allows users to adjust stock levels, whether to add or deduct stock, in case of discrepancies between physical stock and the software.
• Stock Transfers:
  • The system supports the transfer of ingredient stock between different outlets or branches.
• Waste Tracking:
• The system allows users to track ingredient and food menu waste and deducts these from stock accordingly.
• Reporting:
  • Stock Report: The system provides a stock report to view the current stock levels of ingredients.
  • Low Stock Report: It also includes a low stock report that shows ingredients that are below the set alert quantity.
  • Consumption Report: The system tracks ingredient consumption for stock management.
  • Transfer Report: The system provides reporting on the transfer of stock between outlets.

While the system does not include advanced warehouse management features such as bin locations, or more complex logistics tracking, it provides a comprehensive solution for managing inventory in a restaurant environment, emphasizing precise ingredient tracking, and control over food production and sales.
