Inventory and accounting

Know what each portion really costs you

Moment of the day: Opening

The Digigarson inventory and accounting module follows ingredients from purchase to recipe and from sale to stock count, and records where the money goes with double-entry bookkeeping. Cost is calculated per ingredient card with the weighted average method.

Stock items and purchasing

Bulk-load ingredient cards from Excel and search them easily. Enter purchase invoices; returns, price differences and extra costs such as freight are recorded too. Foreign-currency purchases can use the Turkish central bank (TCMB) rate.

  • Bulk import with Excel
  • Purchase invoices, returns and price differences
  • Purchase orders and order suggestions
  • Supplier statements and supplier rating

Recipes and food cost

Enter a recipe for each product; separate recipes can be defined per price option, such as portion or size, and per product option. Semi-finished items such as sauces, doughs and syrups are defined with their own recipes. Recipes are versioned: a change is saved as a new version. Each product's cost and its ratio to the selling price (food cost) are shown.

Automatic stock deduction on sale

Once enabled for the branch, the recipe's ingredients are deducted from stock as checks are closed. When a check is voided or reopened, the deduction is reversed.

Production, waste and stock counts

Semi-finished items enter stock through production orders. Waste entries need approval, and unusual waste and losses trigger a warning. Stock counts are carried out and count differences are reported.

Cash, bank and supplier payments

Cash and bank accounts, supplier payments, expenses, cheques and promissory notes are kept with double-entry bookkeeping; a trial balance is available at any time. The day's Z report and house-account movements are posted to the books automatically. Card and meal-card collections are matched with bank statements; settlements and commissions are tracked.

P&L and menu engineering

Profit and loss, cash flow and receivables ageing; product profitability and menu engineering (which item sells a lot, which earns a lot); theoretical versus actual usage, waste, count differences and supplier price changes. Reports export to Excel.

  • VAT breakdown by rate
  • Budget tracking
  • CSV export for your accountant

Several branches

Businesses with a branch group can transfer ingredients between branches; sent goods show as in transit until the receiving branch accepts them.

Frequently asked questions

What is menu engineering?

A report that groups products by sales volume and profitability, helping you decide which item to promote and which one's price or recipe to review.
