Ask anything
Clipboard in the walk-in. Spreadsheet at the desk. By the time you have a food cost number, it's weeks old and the damage is done.
Operators spend 3-5 hours a week on counting and data entry. That's $5,000+ a year in labor for stale numbers that don't catch waste, variance, or vendor price creep in time.
Stockcount replaces the clipboard and the spreadsheet. Count by voice. It does the rest.
Connects to Square. Works with your vendors. AI does the data work.
Pocket your phone, walk the walk-in, count out loud. Stockcount records everything. A 3-hour count becomes 30 minutes. No clipboard, no data entry after.
"I spent $340 at US Foods on dairy." That's it. Stockcount logs the expense and updates your ingredient costs. No forms, no receipt filing.
Not last month's guess. This week's actual number, calculated from your counts and expenses. You'll know when food cost creeps up before it becomes a problem.
Shopping lists generated from your counts and par levels. Grouped by vendor. Updated after every count so you order what you actually need.
Add ingredients by voice, text, or spreadsheet upload. Set par levels, vendors, and costs.
Walk your storage, count out loud. Stockcount does the data entry.
Food cost percentage, plate costs, and variance calculated from your counts and expenses. Every number traces to source data.
Why this exists
70% of restaurant managers hate inventory counting. I was one of them. I spent 10 years in food service and the last thing I wanted to do after a long shift was stand in a cold walk-in with a clipboard. So I built the tool I wished I had.

The right tool depends on who's using it and what they can maintain.
Best for: Independent restaurants & cafes
$250K to $1.5M annual revenue
You're the owner, the manager, and the one doing inventory after close. Stockcount gives you real food cost numbers without the spreadsheet, the data entry, or the $300/month software. Count by voice, track costs in conversation, and know where your money is going this week.
Built for independents, not enterprise chains. No corporate procurement, commissary management, or general ledger consolidation.
Excel / Google Sheets
Best for: Getting started with something
Any size
The tool you already have. Someone built a template, you inherited it, and now you spend hours each week typing numbers into cells. It works until it doesn't, and by the time you calculate your food cost, the data is already stale.
Heads up: The hidden cost is your time. 3-5 hours a week of counting and data entry adds up to over $5,000 a year in labor. And you still don't get real-time food cost numbers.
Best for: Bars & beverage-heavy operations
$1M+ with 40%+ beverage revenue
Purpose-built for liquor. Fractional bottle counts, batch cocktail costing, and pour-yield analysis. Great if your revenue is 40%+ beverage. Overkill and admin-heavy if you mainly sell food.
Heads up: Users report heavy daily admin to keep data accurate. If you don't have a dedicated bar manager, the data quality drops fast.
Best for: Multi-unit chains with a procurement manager
$30K+ monthly food spend per location
A procurement engine for chains. Automated ordering, commissary transfers, centralized vendor catalogs. Powerful if you have the staff to run it. Most independents don't.
Heads up: Designed for multi-unit operations with dedicated staff. Solo operators report the admin burden outweighs the benefits.
Best for: High-volume independents with a bookkeeper
$1.5M to $10M annual revenue
Scans invoices and pushes line-item costs into QuickBooks or Xero. A bridge between the kitchen and the ledger. You still need a bookkeeper on the other end.
Heads up: The real cost is $330/mo plus your bookkeeper. Invoice scanning requires clean photos and consistent vendor formatting, which takes practice to get right.
Best for: Enterprise groups needing a full back-office ERP
$5M+ total group revenue
Accounting, payroll, scheduling, and inventory in one platform. Built for CFOs and Controllers managing 10+ locations. The UI reflects that.
Heads up: Enterprise pricing, enterprise complexity. BBB complaints cite failed onboarding and difficulty canceling. Not built for someone who just needs to count stock and know their food cost.
