1. Recipe Costing & Auto Stock Deduction
Map raw ingredients to dishes (e.g. 1 Burger = 150g Patty + 1 Bun + 30g Cheese). Every sale automatically deducts raw inventory in real time.
2. Theoretical vs Physical Inventory Variance
Compare system expected inventory against physical stock counts to identify kitchen leakage, portion variance, and unrecorded waste immediately.
