Production & Check Off
Log daily production quantities, track combos, view the production report, and record waste
Production Dashboard (Check Off)
Navigate to: Dashboard → Production
Used by kitchen and bakery managers to log how much was produced each day and compare it against what the POS actually sold.
Workflow Tabs
At the top there are two tabs:
- Restaurant → Food — soups, mains, sides, drinks
- Bakery → Pastry — all bakery and pastry products
Only products belonging to the selected workflow are shown, so the kitchen and bakery teams can work independently.
Entry Types
| Button | Colour | When to use |
|---|---|---|
| Opening | Blue | First thing in the morning — how much you made for the day |
| Reorder | Amber | Mid-day top-up when you cook more |
| Closing | Green | End of day — leftover / damage / spoilage |
Logging a Product
- Tap the entry type (Opening / Reorder / Closing)
- Optionally use the department pills to filter to a specific section
- Tap any product card — a number pad dialog opens
- Enter the quantity using the numpad, quick-quantity buttons (5 / 10 / 20 / 25 / 50), or +/− fine-tune buttons
- Add a note if needed (e.g., "burnt batch")
- Tap Log to save
After saving, the product card shows a badge with the running total for the day.
Combo Products (Split Items)
Some products — like "Fried Rice and Baked Chicken" or "Cookup Baked Snapper" — are combos made up of two individual items. These cards show an amber stacked layers icon.
Opening entries always split automatically into all components:
Example: Log 10 × "Fried Rice and Baked Chicken" (Opening) The system records: → 10 × Fried Rice (Opening) → 10 × Baked Chicken (Opening)
Reorder and Closing entries give you a choice — sometimes you only topped up one component, not both. After tapping the quantity, you will see:
- All equally — splits the quantity across all components, same as Opening
- Individual component buttons (e.g. "Fried Rice", "Baked Chicken") — tap one to log only that component
Example: You made 5 more Baked Chicken mid-day (no extra Fried Rice needed) Tap Baked Chicken → logs 5 × Baked Chicken (Reorder) only
The button label updates to show exactly what will be recorded (e.g. "Log 5 → Baked Chicken") so there is no ambiguity before you confirm.
Production Report
Navigate to: Dashboard → Production Report
Compares what the kitchen logged against what the POS actually sold.
Columns
| Column | What it means |
|---|---|
| Opening | Quantity made at start of day |
| Reorder | Mid-day top-up batches |
| Closing | Leftover / unsold at end of day |
| Expected | Opening + Reorder − Closing |
| Actual | What the POS actually sold |
| % Sold | Actual ÷ Expected × 100 |
| Variance | Actual − Expected |
Row Sorting
Rows are sorted by urgency:
- Shortages (negative variance) — appear first so you can spot problems immediately
- Overages (positive variance) — produced more than sold
- Balanced (zero variance) — at the bottom
Variance Colour Codes
| Colour | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Grey (0) | Balanced — sales match production exactly |
| Red (negative) | Short — more was rung up than produced |
| Amber (positive) | Over — more was produced than sold (possible waste) |
The Closing column is highlighted in amber whenever there is unsold stock remaining at end of day.
A Totals row at the bottom sums all columns for an at-a-glance overview.
Legend (shown below the table): Closing = leftover at end of day. % Sold = Actual ÷ Expected. Combo sales are split into components in both columns.

Viewing Waste History
The waste log table shows all recorded waste events with date, item, quantity, reason, who recorded it, and estimated cost value.
A summary at the top shows total waste cost for the selected period. Use the date filter to compare week-over-week or month-over-month.
Variance Report
Navigate to: Dashboard → Variance
Compares expected stock (calculated from sales and production) vs. actual stock (from physical counts). Unexplained differences may indicate waste, theft, or data entry errors.
- Green = within tolerance
- Red = significant variance requiring investigation
Click any item to see the detailed movement history and identify where the variance occurred.
