Production and Confection

Streamline your restaurant’s food production and confection processes with Z-Cloud POS. This feature allows you to manage pre-made foods, bakery items, and customized recipes efficiently, ensuring consistency in quality and taste.

Whether you run a bakery, café, or restaurant, Z-Cloud POS empowers you to maintain operational excellence and deliver consistently high-quality products to your customers.

The Z-Cloud POS system addresses production and confection (the making of food items) primarily through its pre-made food and production management features. These tools help manage the creation of intermediary food items that are used to make final menu items. Here's a detailed breakdown:

• Pre-Made Food Management:
  • The system allows you to define pre-made food items, which are similar to ingredients but have their own recipes and stock. Examples of pre-made food include pizza dough or sauces.
  • When adding a pre-made food item, you can specify its name, category, and the ingredients required to prepare it, along with their consumption units. You can also set the cost per unit and an alert quantity for low stock.
  • The system tracks the stock of pre-made food items separately from regular ingredients.
  • When a pre-made food item is put into production, the system deducts the ingredients used from the ingredient stock and increases the pre-made food stock.
• Production Management:
  • The system allows you to record production of pre-made food items.
  • When adding a production record, you can select the pre-made food item, set the production date, and specify the quantity produced.
  • The system offers two production statuses: "Draft" and "Final".
  • Only when the status is set to "Final" does the system update stock levels (increasing the pre-made food stock and decreasing the ingredient stock).
  • A reference number is auto-generated for each production, helping with tracking.
  • The system provides a list view of all production records.
• Integration with Food Menu Creation:
  • Pre-made food items can be used as ingredients when creating food menus.
  • When a food menu item that uses pre-made food is sold, the system automatically reduces the stock of the pre-made food item.
• Stock Management:
  • The system provides a way to view the current stock of pre-made food items.
  • The system also tracks the stock of ingredients used in pre-made food.
  • The system will also show low stock alerts based on the "Low Qty" setting of the pre-made food.
• Costing:
  • The system allows you to specify the cost per unit for making a pre-made food item.
  • This cost is considered when calculating the overall cost of food items using that pre-made food.

In summary, the Z-Cloud POS system provides a way to manage the production of intermediary food items and their use in creating final food menu items. The system manages stock levels and costs, linking pre-made food creation, ingredient consumption, and food sales, which enhances the efficiency of food production and inventory management in a restaurant setting.
