Module 06 — Inventory Intelligence

Know what you should have.Not just what you count.

Dwelitics simulates your inventory from sales data — so you can see theoretical vs actual stock, detect waste automatically, and control food cost in real time.

How it works

We simulate what your inventory should look like from sales. Then we compare it to reality.

Data flows in. Decisions come out. Nothing leaves your venue. (Across all your dishes, all your ingredients, every day — automatically.)

Theoretical vs actual

The gap is where your money disappears.

Shrinkage. Waste. Theft. Over-portioning. The delta between expected and actual stock tells you something is wrong — before your month-end P&L does.

A 1.74 kg shortfall on ribeye isn't just missing beef. At an average cost of €23/kg, that's €40 unaccounted for — every single day.

Waste detection

When actual drops faster than sales justify, Dwelitics surfaces the anomaly.

No manual stock-count comparison needed. The system flags when consumption exceeds what your sales data can explain — automatically.

Waste, theft, over-portioning, or supplier short-shipping — the anomaly tells you something is off. The kitchen investigation tells you what.

Food cost % in real time

Stop calculating food cost at month-end.

Know your food cost percentage today, by category, by dish — and act before margins erode. Every day of delay is money you can't recover.

Meat & fish at 38.4% against a 35% target isn't an accounting problem. It's a portioning or pricing problem you can fix now — not in four weeks.

Supplier dependency

Know your menu fragility before it becomes a shortage.

Which dishes depend on a single supplier? Which ingredients create risk if a delivery fails? Supplier dependency analysis maps your exposure — before a last-minute scramble forces a menu rewrite mid-service.

Ribeye and Salmon on single suppliers across 7 dishes combined is a meaningful concentration risk. The data makes that visible. The decision is yours.
