For the number to help the shift, theoretical stock combines opening inventory with purchases and inbound movements, minus recipe- and sales-driven usage; that balance is compared with the physical count and, when the variance repeats on one ingredient, its cause —recording, waste, or portioning— is investigated before adjusting.
- Starts from purchases, movements, recipes, and sales of the period
- Compare against the physical count to find variances
- A repeated variance on one ingredient signals an operating cause
How it works
Wobistro preserves the source, identifies the exception, prepares an action within permissions, and records the responsible person's decision. Every result returns to the history so the next shift starts with context.
Frequently asked questions
How is theoretical stock calculated?
Take opening inventory, add purchases and inbound movements, and subtract usage from recipes and sales. The result is what should be there; comparing it with the physical count shows the variance to explain.
What if actual stock does not match the theoretical?
First check recording errors and unlogged movements; then review waste and portioning for that ingredient. If the variance repeats, adjust the recipe, the procedure, or the control, and record the decision with its owner.
