Capabilities
Everything you need to optimize operations
Take full control of your kitchen stockroom. Parchika tracks inventory at the ingredient level (grams, milliliters, units). Every sales transaction automatically deducts raw materials, letting you spot variance, theft, and cost leakage in real-time.
Recipe Auto-Deduction
Define recipe formulas (e.g., 80g chicken, 10ml oil per portion). System deducts ingredients from stock on every bill.
✓ Accurate theoretical stock levels without manual counts.
Low-Stock Alerts
Set minimum par levels for ingredients. POS notifies you automatically when raw materials run low.
✓ Purchase replacements before you run out during a shift.
One-Tap Wastage Log
Log spilled, burnt, or expired items with mandatory reason codes (spoilage, prep error, customer return).
✓ Analyze precisely where raw materials are being lost.
Theoretical vs Actual
Compare POS calculated stock against physical stock counts to flag variance, waste, or inventory shrinkage.
✓ Identify and eliminate shrinkage immediately.

FAQs & Help Desk
Can I manage raw materials across multiple stores?
Yes. Transfer stock between outlets, monitor central warehouse levels, and approve store requisitions from a single admin account.
How does the system handle item weights?
It supports decimals (e.g., kg, grams, liters) and automatically converts units based on packaging definitions.
Does it support FIFO (First In First Out)?
Yes. Inventory batches are tracked by age and expiry dates, helping you utilize older stock first to reduce spoilage.
