Restaurant stock counts without the midnight spreadsheet

Walk your storage areas and get a complete ingredient inventory with quantities and expiry concerns.

The problem

1

Restaurant inventory counts happen at 2 AM when the kitchen closes β€” staff are tired and counts are inaccurate.

2

Swiss and European operators report 18-25 hours/month of manual F&B inventory administration.

3

Food cost control requires accurate, regular stock counts β€” but the friction of manual counting means it's done too rarely.

How Rowcorder solves it

Walk through your cold room, dry storage, and prep areas recording. Rowcorder creates a complete stock count with categories, estimated quantities, and expiry flags.

Industry context

Restaurant inventory management in Europe is highly fragmented. Operators tolerate €50-150/month for tools that clearly reduce food waste and improve margins.

Compliance & regulations

EU food businesses must maintain accurate records for VAT, food safety, and waste. Automated inventory improves both compliance and food-cost percentage control.
