Questions

Common questions

Can it handle more than one kitchen?
Yes. Each kitchen or hostel has its own store and reports, and a central store can transfer stock between them.
Does it work for items other than food?
Yes. Gas cylinders, cleaning supplies, utensils and other store items work the same way. The same software also runs general stock for shops and warehouses.
Can the storekeeper use it on a phone?
Yes. Stock entries, issues and delivery photos can be recorded on an Android phone.
Can we see the cost per student?
Yes. Daily and monthly food cost is shown per meal and per student, for each kitchen.
