Inventory Management — How to Stop Waste and Control Your Restaurant's Costs

The Problem Every Restaurant Owner Faces

Food waste is the silent enemy of restaurant profits. You buy ingredients for thousands, and by the end of the week you find a large portion expired or unused. Without an accurate tracking system, you're running your restaurant in the dark. Taaj provides an integrated inventory system that works automatically with every sale.

How Does Inventory Work in Taaj?

Automatic Tracking with Every Sale

When a product is sold from the digital menu or the POS, the quantity is automatically deducted from inventory. No manual entry, no forgetting, no errors. Inventory is updated moment by moment.

Flexible Measurement Units

Record your inventory in appropriate units: kilograms for meat, liters for beverages, pieces for bread. The system supports different measurement units with conversion factors — buy by the kilo and use by the gram.

Stock Reservation

When a customer places an order via WhatsApp or the digital menu, requested quantities are immediately reserved from inventory. This prevents the sudden "out of stock" situation when two customers order the same item simultaneously. Reservation duration is adjustable from 5 to 60 minutes.

Show Quantity to Customers

You can choose to show remaining quantity of each item to customers on the menu. "Only 3 left!" — this creates urgency and encourages quick purchases.

Product Cost and Profitability

Record each product's cost alongside the selling price. The system automatically calculates profit margin for each item. Know which items generate the highest profit from the reports dashboard.

Linking Inventory to the Digital Menu and Kitchen Display

When an item runs out of stock, it automatically disappears from the digital menu and drive-thru screen. Customers won't order an unavailable item — preventing embarrassment and customer issues.

Control Your Costs and Reduce Waste

With Taaj's built-in inventory system, every pound spent on ingredients is tracked and accounted for.
