Restaurant inventory management software
Fast, accurate stocktakes from any device, costed the moment you count. See what you have before you order, catch waste early, and turn the margin that leaks through stock into margin you keep. Built for busy kitchens and bars.
Stock is where your margin quietly leaks
Most venues only find out where stock went at the end-of-month count, and by then the waste, over-ordering and shrinkage are already in the P&L. Paper counts get keyed in twice, par levels live in someone's head, and nobody knows where the margin went until it is too late to act.
Without Chefy
- Counts on paper, then keyed in twice
- Over-ordering and shrinkage found at month end
- Par levels and what-to-order live in people's heads
- Waste logged late, if at all
With Chefy
- Count from any device, costed as you go
- Waste and variance surfaced early, not at close
- See stock before you order, against real need
- Every count costed, so leakage is visible
From delivery to count to order
Take stock in accurately
Receive deliveries against orders and supplier prices, so what's on the shelf and what it's worth stay in sync from the moment it arrives.
Count from any device
Run a stocktake from where you stand, whether kitchen, bar or store, and keep stock on hand up to date with no paper and no double-entry.
Catch waste and variance
Record waste as it happens and let Chefy surface variance early, so leakage shows up while you can still act on it.
See stock before you order
Order against real stock on hand and real need, not a guess, so you stop over-ordering and never run out mid-shift.

From a kitchen that runs on it
“I tried other costing programs but as a chef I found them confusing and they couldn't handle nested recipes properly, which meant the numbers were never accurate enough to trust. Chefy was easy from the get go. I could nest recipes the way I actually build them in the kitchen, and the costings finally reflected reality.”
Inventory that talks to costing and sales
Stock doesn't live on its own. In Chefy, every count feeds costing and ties to Square sales, so the same data behind your stocktakes also protects your margin, across the kitchen and the bar, in one platform.
Restaurant inventory management software FAQ
Is Chefy restaurant inventory management software?
Yes. Chefy gives you fast, accurate stocktakes from any device, costed automatically, with waste, variance and ordering built in. It is stocktake-based inventory built to protect margin, rather than a live warehouse tracking system.
Does it work for kitchen and bar inventory?
Yes. The same stocktake, wastage and ordering tools run the kitchen and the bar on one platform, so a venue with both counts and controls all its stock in one place instead of two systems.
Can my team count stock without a clipboard?
Yes. Run stocktakes from any device on the floor, whether phone, tablet or a screen in the store, and Chefy costs every count with no paper and no double-entry. It is at its best on a landscape iPad.
Can I start for free?
You can start free on your first core venue with no credit card required. Inventory tools, Stocktake and Procurement, are paid add-on modules on top of Chefy Core. See pricing for what is included and what each module costs per venue.
