✓

Check it before it savesYou can review the ingredients and matches before the recipe becomes a costed item.

✓

Built for real service

Useful numbers, even when the day does not go to plan.

📸

Check the photo before it saves.

If the invoice shot is unclear, retake it first. You only save the prices after you have checked them.

➕

Add a missing ingredient quickly.

If a recipe needs something new, add it and keep going. You can replace rough prices when the real invoice arrives.

↔

Supplier names do not create duplicates.

If one supplier calls it “ground beef” and another calls it “beef mince,” StockChecker helps link it to the same item.

You can see what is estimated.

If a cost is not final yet, it is marked clearly so you know what still needs an invoice, sale, or stock count.

🍸

Food and drinks stay separate.

Cocktails, pour cost, liquor invoices, and bottle counts sit beside food, not mixed into food cost.

📊

Reports show the numbers to fix.

See food cost, drink cost, purchases, supplies, COGS, and low-margin recipes without digging through spreadsheets.

Inventory counts

Count the whole kitchen, or just the stock that matters today.

Use your device to count stock where it sits: the bar, fridge, dry store, or one expensive item you want to check now. No loose paper, no retyping it later.

Why we built it

Food cost control should not need a finance department.

StockChecker is for the cafe, bar, bakery, or restaurant that needs clear numbers without another spreadsheet project. Start with the invoices and recipes you already have, then see which prices, dishes, and counts need attention.

- The StockChecker team

✓

Your data stays yoursYour invoices, prices, recipes, sales, and stock counts stay private to your account.

AI helps. You stay in control.Scanned invoices and spoken recipes are shown back to you before anything is saved.

The app tells you what it knowsIf a number is still an estimate, StockChecker labels it clearly so you know what to check next.

FAQ

Questions a busy operator would ask.

Yes. Start with one invoice and one recipe. The first win is recipe cost per portion and food cost %. The full business food-cost picture gets more accurate as you add invoices, sales, and stock counts.

No. Scanned invoices are shown back to you first. You can edit quantities, units, prices, and product matches before saving.

You can quick-add it, mark it estimated, or leave it as needing a price. The recipe stays usable, and the app makes soft numbers clear until a real invoice replaces them.

Voice and scanned recipe extraction need an internet connection because they use AI processing. Barcode scanning is on-device, and offline stock-count sync is part of the product roadmap.

It handles both. Beverage pour cost, cocktail recipes, liquor invoices, and partial-bottle counts are tracked separately from food cost.
