Café inventory: cutting coffee and milk waste

In a café, the difference between profit and loss hides in grams and millilitres. Here is a simple way to control it.

5 min read

Use the right units

Coffee in grams, milk in millilitres, cups by the piece. The right unit makes recipes precise and counts easy.

A recipe per drink and size

A small and a large latte differ in coffee and milk. Make the size an add-on with its own materials so the right amount is deducted with every cup.

Reorder points

Set, for each material, the quantity at which you order from the vendor, covering the delivery days. A low-stock alert stops milk running out mid-day.

Record waste with its reason

Expired milk, a dropped cup, a remade drink. Recording waste by reason shows where training or changes are needed.

  • A weekly count of key materials
  • Compare the count with expected usage
  • Review the most frequent waste reasons

Packaged products

Bottled water, juices and wrapped sweets are bought by the carton and sold by the piece. In Banan Soft, set the pieces per carton when buying; stock rises by the piece and the item switches off when sold out.
