Inventory software for micromarkets
Crumble is an inventory system for small food businesses. You set up recipe cards, track stock and sales, and cost per portion is calculated automatically. Let's look at the problems a micromarket runs into and how to solve them.
Problems and solutions
Problems every micromarket runs into
Almost all of them come down to one thing: money leaking out unnoticed. Here's what happens and what to do about it.
Sandwiches, salads, and dairy spoil
They have a short shelf life, and leftovers get pulled straight from the shelf without being recorded.
Write-offs that skip the books
There's no visibility into how much product ends up in the trash or how much to order next time.
Expiry dates and write-offs
Crumble warns you ahead of expiry dates, and every write-off is logged with a reason.
Several locations, one warehouse
Product is delivered from the warehouse to offices and residential complexes, and stock at each location is known only roughly.
Empty here, expired there
One location runs out of stock while another has it going bad.
Stock by location and transfers
Each location has its own stock, and transfers between them take just a couple of clicks.
Shortages on the shelf
Without a cashier, some product walks off unpaid, and the only way to know how much is a physical count.
Losses with no explanation
It's unclear where product is disappearing and at which location.
Stocktaking by location
Stock updates after every sale. At stocktaking you enter the actual count, and Crumble calculates the discrepancy per location for you.
Markup doesn't keep up with purchase prices
Suppliers change prices, but the price on the shelf stays the same.
Margin quietly evaporates
Every price hike eats into profit on each sale, and you only notice it at month end.
Cost based on current prices
Crumble calculates cost from purchase prices and recalculates it whenever prices change.
Cost and price
How to calculate product price in a micromarket
Cost per portion is the sum of everything that goes into one portion, per the recipe card. Price is calculated from cost and the margin you want on each sale.
Calculate it yourself
Cost = purchase price + packaging + delivery to location
Sandwich price
220 ₽
cost 128 ₽ · 92 ₽ left from each sale
Price = cost ÷ (1 − margin)
