Diyafa

Stock

Stock that keeps count by itself.Each order takes off what it uses.

Write each dish's recipe once. Each time your team accepts an order, its ingredients come off your stock, and anything at the amount you set is marked Low. When a delivery arrives, record it by the bag or the case, the way you bought it.

Before and after

What changes in your stock, from the first order to the last count.

Same ingredients, same suppliers. The difference: every change is recorded, with its reason.

1During service

How much milk is left?

Usually

Open the fridge and guess

With Diyafa

The level updates with every accepted order, by recipe

You know before it runs out

An ingredient runs out mid-service

Usually

The guest orders, then the kitchen says it's gone

With Diyafa

Your team sees “may be out” on the dish before accepting

Your team knows before accepting, not after

A delivery arrives mid-service

Usually

The dish stays off until someone tells the kitchen

With Diyafa

Record the bags as they come in, and the dishes that use it are back straight away

No dish stays off longer than it has to

2Buying

When do I buy?

Usually

When someone notices it's gone

With Diyafa

An item turns Low at the amount you set, and Insights shows how many days it will last

You buy in time

A supplier raises the price

Usually

You notice at the end of the month

With Diyafa

While you record the receipt, the line says “13% more than your average”

You know the same day

What does a burger cost me?

Usually

A rough number in your head

With Diyafa

Its cost per sale and margin, from the recipe and what you actually paid

You price on real numbers

3Counts and waste

The stock count

Usually

Count everything and compare on paper

With Diyafa

Enter what's there without seeing what's expected; the review puts big differences first

You check only what's off

A burger dropped, or vegetables gone bad

Usually

Forgotten

With Diyafa

Record it as waste with its reason

You know where it went

Why did the level change?

Usually

Nobody knows

With Diyafa

“Why did it change?”: every order, and every purchase, waste and count with who entered it, and when

Every change has a reason

Recipes

Write each dish's recipe once.

What one sale uses of each item. On the same screen: its cost per sale and margin, from the average you've paid for each item.

  • Choices change what's used

    A guest chose With fries? The fries come off too, at their own cost.

  • Sub-recipes

    A burger sauce or a dough made in batches: write it once, recipes use an amount of it, and stock takes off what went into it.

  • Sold as-is

    A can or a bottle of water: one stock item per sale.

  • The margin in front of you

    The cost per sale updates by itself with every purchase you record with its price.

The Stock page

What's out and what's low, at the top.

Every item with its level, and a bar showing where it is against the amount you set. The order never changes: out first, then low, then not counted yet.

Recording

Purchases, counts and waste, each on one screen.

Record whenever you like, from any device. Made a mistake? Correct it, and the old entry stays, struck through.

  1. Purchases by the case

    Record 2 cases and it's 24 L. If the price is far from your average, the line tells you how much more or less it is.

  2. A blind count

    Enter what's there; the review puts big differences first. You choose how big a difference is fine.

  3. Waste with its reason

    A menu item by the portion, or a stock item or sub-recipe by amount, with one of five reasons. The kitchen can record it too.

  4. A cancelled order

    Cancelled after it was accepted? Choose: back in stock, or waste with its reason.

During service

Your team knows before they accept.

When an item runs out, every dish that uses it shows “may be out” to your team. Guests never see that flag.

  • Accept anyway

    The level is an estimate, so your team decides: accept, or take the dish off before accepting.

  • Guests, your call

    With “Hide items whose stock is out”, guests see the dish as “Sold out today” and can't order it until the item is back. Without it, guests order as usual and your team sees “may be out” and decides.

  • A switch per dish

    Follow stock, Always on or Sold out, for any dish you want handled its own way.

  • Choices too

    If frozen fries run out, only With fries shows as sold out to guests, or “may be out” to your team, and the burger stays on.

The details

Details that matter in the stockroom.

  • The kitchen sees levels

    And the history, and records waste. Costs, purchases and counts are for owners and managers.

  • Waiters don't see Stock

    They see “may be out” on orders, and that's all.

  • Yesterday's receipt

    Record a purchase on the receipt's date, up to 6 days back.

  • Counting mid-service

    If orders are being made, the count tells you to wait, so the number doesn't come out too high.

  • Corrections that keep the record

    Edited a purchase or a count? The old one stays struck through, with who corrected it and when.

  • Packs by name

    A 1 L carton or a case of 12: count and buy in them.

Levels are estimates from your recipes.

Diyafa takes off exactly what the recipe says, so a bigger portion or a spill nobody recorded shows up at the next count. Ordering from suppliers isn't part of Diyafa: record what arrives.

And it carries on into Diyafa's other services.

Questions about stock.

Do I have to set up stock to use Diyafa?

No, stock is optional. The menu and orders work without it; start with the items that matter to you, like meat, milk and coffee.

When exactly does stock come off?

When your team accepts the order, and only for what's made: a rejected order, or a dish struck off it while accepting, uses nothing.

What about a dish with no recipe?

It sells as usual, it just doesn't move stock. The Menu page tells you how many dishes still have no recipe.

I buy milk in cases of 12. Does that work?

Yes. Give the item its pack sizes, then record purchases or counts by the case; Diyafa works it out in litres.

The level is wrong. What do I do?

Count the item: a count sets the level again, and the review shows you the difference. Every change before it is in “Why did it change?”.
