You're making sales.
Are you making money?
Your profit leaks where you never see it — the walk-in, the prep line, the garbage can. Varastiq reads your menu, invoices, and counts, and shows you the leak in dollars, per item, per week.
Your food cost isn't a monthly surprise. It's a daily one you're not measuring.
Most kitchens count to check a box. Varastiq counts to catch the money moving — the moment it moves.
Five ways it pays for itself before the month closes.
Walk your restaurant. Count in the same order.
Setup is one simple list: your storage areas, in the order you actually walk them — cooler, freezer, dry, bar, prep. Every count then follows that same path. Search or scan an item, tap the number, save & next. No clipboard, no spreadsheet at midnight.
- Simple setup — your areas, in your walk order
- Every count follows that path, fully resumable
- Count by weight, case, each, or prep build
A big drop gets flagged on the spot.
We compare what you counted to what should be there — last count, plus deliveries, minus sales usage. When the math doesn't line up, you hear about it now, not three weeks later.
- Expected-vs-counted on every item
- Recount or log the variance in one tap
- Posts straight to the owner portal
Submit a count, get the order.
Every count updates what's below par. The moment you submit, your order to par is built by vendor — no over-buying, no 86'd specials on a Friday night.
- Par levels tracked per item
- Order built by vendor, ready to send
- Never double-buy what's already on the shelf
See the dollars on your shelf, right now.
The value of your inventory, live, and exactly how it moved since last week. Food cost stops being a number you find out about after the month closes.
- Live on-hand dollar value
- Week-over-week movement
- Break it down by area or category
Use it before you lose it.
Expiration dates are flagged before they happen: items nearing their date rise to the top of the list, with the dollars at risk right beside them. Turn a would-be write-off into tonight's special.
- Expiry surfaced first, automatically
- Dollars-at-risk on every flag
- Waste logged, not guessed
Same shelf, counted two ways. Only one tells you the value in real time.
The money you're leaving on the shelf.
Operators typically recover 2–4% of food spend by cutting over-ordering, waste, and unexplained variance. Slide in your numbers.
Estimate only, based on a 3% midpoint recovery. Your results depend on your menu, prep, and how tightly you run par.
From walk-in to order to par in one pass.
Walk & count
Open the app, follow your areas in walk-order. Weigh, scan, or tap. It saves as you go — even with no internet service in the walk-in.
Review variance
Before you submit, Varastiq shows what doesn't add up — big drops, pending items, things expiring — so nothing slips through.
Order to par
Submit, and Varastiq builds your order — everything below par, grouped by the vendor you buy it from, ready to send. Your on-shelf value updates and the owner sees it all — instantly.
A closer look at your next shift.
Short walkthroughs of counts, recipes, and costs. Choose a video to see the app at work.
Two plans. Both stated plainly.
Per location, no surprises. The demo runs on your real menu either way.
- Guided counts & walk-order areas
- Menu & recipe costing
- Variance flags at the count
- Order to par, by vendor
- Everything in Core
- POS connection — live sales usage
- Rep & distributor portal
- Owner portal reporting
The things owners ask us first.
Most operators cut their weekly count by roughly half. Walk-order routing, barcode scan, and a Bluetooth scale mean you're tapping numbers, not transcribing them — and there's no spreadsheet to retype afterward.
Yes. The app is offline-first. It saves every entry on the device and syncs the moment you're back on signal — you'll never lose a count to a dead spot in the freezer.
Toast connects directly, read-only. Any other POS works by uploading a PMIX sales report — we turn your existing sales mix into food-cost and menu-margin answers. No POS at all still works for counts, costing, and ordering.
No. It runs on the phone your team already has. It pairs with any standard Bluetooth kitchen scale if you want weights read in automatically, but a scale is optional.
For every item, the app knows what should be on hand — last count, plus deliveries, minus sales usage. When your count is off by more than a threshold, it flags the drop right there so you can recount or log it, instead of finding out weeks later.
That's the whole design. Big tap targets, search-or-scan, and one clear action per screen mean most teams are counting confidently within a single shift.
Your on-shelf dollar value updates, an order to par is built by vendor, variance posts to the owner portal, and anything expiring is surfaced so you use it first.
You do. Your menu, prices, and counts are never shared with your vendors or your distributor, and you can take your data with you or revoke access at any time.
