Menu, stock and suppliers

Catch margin pressure before it reaches the menu.

Elyx watches stock movement, supplier cost changes, waste and recipe margins, then prepares the order or menu change for approval.

Problem

Inventory decisions lose clarity fast.

The issue is rarely one missing count. It is the gap between sales, supplier changes, waste, recipe costs and the team trying to make the next call during service.

01

Counts go stale before anyone acts

Stock checks, POS sales and staff notes sit in different places, so the next order is built from guesswork.

02

Supplier changes arrive quietly

A new invoice price or missing case can hit margin before the menu, recipe or owner brief catches up.

03

Waste is remembered too late

Spillage, over-portioning, transfers and low-stock moments need to be logged while the context is still fresh.

Daily stock work

The stock work that decides margin.

Count, receive, order, waste and price changes stay tied to the action Elyx recommends.

Live margin

Live GP and COGS

Approve action

Operator approvals

When Elyx finds a price, stock or supplier issue, it prepares the action and asks before changing systems.

How it runs

From count to supplier order to menu change.

Elyx turns stock events into controlled actions: order, hold, update, hide, substitute or ask the owner.

Connected inventory

Stock is not a separate spreadsheet.

It belongs beside sales, menu costs, supplier messages, payment flow and the owner approval trail.

Sales

POS and QR sales reduce the right item or recipe usage.

Receiving

Deliveries update quantity, cost and supplier history.

Menu

Price and availability changes can be drafted for approval.

Operator

Owners get the reason, the proposed move and the receipt.

Operating loop

Every stock movement can become the next right action.

01

Count what is there

The team captures stock from the floor, kitchen or bar without turning it into spreadsheet work.

02

Receive what arrived

Deliveries update quantities, supplier costs and invoice notes in the same operating record.

03

Spot what changed

Elyx flags low stock, waste, missing deliveries, cost increases and menu items losing margin.

04

Approve the move

Order more, update a price, hide an item, switch a special or create a manager task with a receipt.

Frequently asked questions

Inventory questions owners ask first.

Does Elyx replace our POS or supplier tools?+

No. Elyx can sit around the tools you already use, then connect stock, sales, invoices, supplier notes and menu changes into one operating layer.

Can Elyx update menu prices or availability?+

Yes, where the connected systems allow it. Elyx prepares the change, shows the reason, waits for approval, then records what was updated.

How does Elyx know what to order?+

It combines sales movement, stock counts, recent waste, supplier rules, minimum order constraints and the next service window. Owners can approve or adjust before anything is sent.

Can teams count stock from a phone?+

Yes. The workflow is designed for the floor: quick counts, receiving notes, waste reasons and item checks without opening a heavy back-office dashboard.

What happens when a supplier price changes?+

Elyx flags the change against the item, affected recipes and margin impact, then can prepare a price update, supplier note or owner approval.

Stop finding out about margin after the service is over.
