Inventory software for pubs
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 pub runs into and how to solve them.
Problems and solutions
Problems every pub 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.
Keg beer doesn't add up
Foam gets drained off, the first pints after tapping a new keg go down the sink, and some pours come with a generous head.
Beer shortage
A 30-liter keg should yield 60 pints, but sales account for noticeably less.
Beer tracked in liters
Set up beer in liters, and specify the volume in the pint recipe — sales will deduct it from the keg, and stocktaking will show the real usage.
Kitchen and bar share one till
A pub has both drinks and a kitchen, each with its own purchases and write-offs.
Unclear what's actually profitable
Revenue is combined, so it's not clear whether the kitchen is making money or breaking even.
Cost for every item
Cost is calculated for every menu item — for a pint just as much as for a burger.
Kitchen products spoil
They have a short shelf life, and leftovers get thrown out at the end of the shift 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.
Stocktaking in a notebook never adds up
Kegs, bottles, and kitchen products are counted by hand and checked against records that only cover part of the sales.
Shortages with no explanation
It's unclear where the error is: in the count, in the records, or in the stockroom.
Stock counts itself
Stock updates after every sale and delivery. At stocktaking you just enter the actual count, and Crumble calculates the discrepancy for you.
Cost and price
How to calculate pint cost
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 = beer + losses on foam and keg changes
Pint price
320 ₽
cost 95 ₽ · 225 ₽ left from each sale
Price = cost ÷ (1 − margin)
Features
Everything a shift needs, and nothing more
Stock
Receipts, write-offs with a reason, stocktaking and expiry dates.
Recipes
The cost of every item is calculated for you, down to the kopeck.
Sales
Discounts, history and receipts nobody can quietly rewrite afterwards.
Locations
Each location has its own stock. Moving goods takes a couple of taps.
Analytics
What sells, where the losses are and which location carries the chain.
Notifications
We will tell you when the milk runs out or the cream is about to expire.
Works offline
The internet is gone.
The till is not.
Sales, write-offs and transfers are saved on the device and sent to the server once the network is back. Nothing gets lost or duplicated.
