Every Ounce

Ingredient Watch

Catch the stockout — and the supplier price spike — before service.

Every Ounce blends on-hand counts, forecasted usage, supplier lead times and live invoice prices into a risk-ranked list of what to order, sub or re-price today. You decide; Every Ounce shows the reason.

The leak

By the time inventory tells you, the dish is already 86'd.

Counting tools tell you what you have. They don't tell you what you'll need by 13:00 on a Tuesday with rain forecast and a busy brunch coming.

  • Avocado runs out mid-service — no one knew at 06:00.
  • Supplier price jumps on chicken thigh, no alert.
  • Lead time missed; weekend prep short on a key SKU.
  • Same SKU 86'd three Tuesdays in a row, no root-cause flagged.

How operators use it

A watch list that ranks every SKU by today's risk.

Every Ounce projects usage against on-hand and lead time, ranks SKUs by stockout risk, surfaces supplier price spikes that would re-cost the menu, and suggests subs the chef can approve in one tap.

  • Stockout risk ranked by cost-of-86 in covers, not units
  • Supplier price spikes flagged the day they hit the invoice
  • Suggested subs preserve the menu and the margin, for approval
  • Lead-time alerts on slow-moving but critical SKUs
  • Cross-location supplier price comparison for groups
