Food and beverage inventory for hotels
Last updated: · By Harrison Schwartz, founder of Varastiq
Key takeaway: Hotel F&B is several operations under one roof: the restaurant, the bar, banquets and events, in-room dining and the storerooms behind them. Varastiq's Stiq app counts each outlet in its own walk order, with item search, manual quantity entry and offline drafts, and flags large changes from the previous count while you can still recount. Varastiq is $149 a month for the first location and $99 for each additional one, core restaurant operations included. Setting up your own workspace has no extra setup fee; Guided Setup is optional at $299.
What it's worth: one point of food cost on $1M in food sales is $10,000 a year. Varastiq helps you review item usage in reporting and large count changes while counting.
How does Varastiq handle hotel F&B?
- One walk order per outlet. Set up the main kitchen, restaurant line, bar, banquet storage and in-room dining stores as their own areas. See inventory counts.
- Variance at the count. Stiq checks large changes from the previous count while the counter can still recount. See variance and theft flags.
- Live plate cost for restaurant, banquet and in-room menus, from your invoices. See live plate cost.
- Order to par by vendor after each count.
- Weekly prime cost, with recorded labor costs. See prime cost.
- Toast read-only, or an item-level sales report from a supported sales export. See integrations.
