Never sell a cake you do not have, or serve stock that has expired
Mark cakes, sweets, packs and bottles as ready stock and AppZet keeps their count. Add an expiry date when stock comes in and the oldest batch is used first.
- Ready-stock items with their own count
- Production entry takes the recipe off your stock
- Optional expiry date on every stock-in
- Oldest batch used first, expired stock written off
On each item choose how it is made. A butter chicken is cooked to order; a truffle cake is counted.
Baked ten cakes? One entry adds ten cakes and takes the cream, flour and cocoa off your ingredient stock.
Every sale takes one off the count. A voided or deleted bill gives it back. You cannot sell more than is left.
The Expiry page shows what is expired, what expires soon and what is fine. Write off an expired batch in one tap.
Why expiry dates matter for a food business
Cream, paneer, chicken and cakes do not last. Without expiry dates the old stock hides at the back while new stock is used first, and the old stock is thrown away later.
When you add stock with an expiry date, AppZet keeps it as a batch and uses the batch that expires first. Whatever does expire is written off with its cost, so the loss is on record.
How it works
-
1
Set the item
Open the item and set "How is it made?" to Ready stock. Add a low stock alert level.
-
2
Add stock
Use Production entry for what you make, or Add stock for what you buy, with an optional expiry date.
-
3
Sell as usual
Bills take the count down on their own. Sold-out items show as out of stock.
-
4
Check Expiry
Open Inventory, Expiry. Use the soonest first and write off what has expired.
Common questions
Do I have to give an expiry date every time?
No. The expiry date is optional. Stock without a date works as before.
Is this in every plan?
Ready stock and expiry are part of Inventory. See the pricing page for which plans include inventory.
