COGS-Well

Open the app at the back door and run your kitchen from your phone. With COGS-Well, you start by mapping storage areas, scanning items into inventory, and choosing pack sizes that match how you actually buy. Set count schedules by location, assign them to staff, and complete audits on mobile—no clipboards or spreadsheets. When a delivery arrives, pull up the pending order, receive by item, and let the system post quantities and flag price or quantity mismatches. Variance exceptions appear immediately, so you can catch short ships or over-portioning the same day instead of at month-end.

Build your recipes once and let the numbers work for you. Create sub-recipes, convert units automatically, and set yields based on your prep batch. COGS-Well rolls ingredient costs into a per-plate total using live vendor prices, so you know margin before you print the menu. Attach photos, steps, and allergens to produce a consistent recipe book for training and audits. Push mapped items to the POS, then compare theoretical vs. actual usage from sales data to expose waste and over-pouring. Use live menu performance to see what sells, what profits, and what needs a price or portion adjustment. Test changes in a sandbox, then publish updates to keep GP targets intact.

Turn counting and usage into smarter replenishment. Review system-suggested orders generated from movement, par levels, and on-hand counts. Approve with a tap and submit to vendors, or split orders across locations. If you run a commissary, generate production runs from store demand, print pick sheets, and track transfers. Stores receive transfers like vendor deliveries, keeping stock in sync across the chain. Build a weekly ordering cadence with lead times and cutoff windows, and get alerted to projected stockouts before service.

Tighten control without adding paperwork. Log waste by reason code and let the platform adjust inventory automatically. Monitor high-risk items with exception reports for unusual usage or count swings. Track COGS by category and location on one dashboard, and export summaries to accounting in a click. Use pricing rules to trigger alerts when plate costs cross thresholds, then push new sell prices through to the POS. At month-end, roll forward with clean counts, explained variances, and defensible numbers. Whether you’re running a single bistro or a multi-unit group, COGS-Well gives you a repeatable workflow that keeps food cost, labor prep, and menu performance aligned every day.
