3 Ways Supy Makes Restaurant Stock Counts Faster Than Ever
Stock counts are one of those tasks everyone dreads, but no operator can ignore. If you run a group of restaurants, you know the stakes: errors create waste, and waste drains margins.
Supy’s new mobile barcode scanning feature helps operators cut through that chaos. It simplifies stock counts into a fast, accurate, and operator-friendly workflow.
No More Manual Searches Forget the days of scrolling through product lists and second-guessing item names. With Supy, your team can scan any package directly with their mobile device. The right item pops up instantly, ready for count.
And you can assign barcodes directly from your phone during a count. No setup bottlenecks. No admin work later.
Each package can have up to 5 barcodes, ideal for items sourced from different suppliers or brands with unique codes.
Print Barcodes for Fresh Produce Not everything comes labeled. For items like fresh vegetables or bakery goods, Supy lets you print your own barcodes. Stick them on your shelves so your team can scan and count without second-guessing.
Why It Matters
- Faster stock counts
- Fewer input mistakes
- Reduced training time for new staff
- Real-time visibility with mobile accuracy
Smarter Counts with Stock Count Templates
Stock counts aren’t just about speed, they’re about structure. Supy’s Stock Count Templates help operators build tailored lists based on location, item type, or frequency. You can create a daily template for perishables, a weekly one for high-value liquor, or separate counts for each storage area. Templates are fully customizable: drag, drop, and reorder items to match your storeroom layout.
Instead of scrolling through hundreds of products, your team follows a clean, focused list that mirrors how stock is physically arranged. The result? Fewer missed items, faster counts, and more consistent data across teams and branches.
Run Parallel Counts Without Bottlenecks
Multi-site operators often run into a real-world issue: different teams need to count stock at the same time in different areas. Supy now supports parallel mobile stock count sessions, no more waiting for one count to finish before starting another.
Your central kitchen can count dry goods while the bar does spirits. Your walk-in fridge team can scan produce while front-of-house checks packaged items. Everyone uses Supy, simultaneously, without data conflicts. This unlocks massive time savings and keeps operations running smoothly during busy periods.
Coming Soon: Smarter Multi-Location Counting We’re adding functionality that lets you combine counts across storage locations. Scan the same item in two fridges, and Supy will sum it automatically.
