One outlet and every connected handoff

Keep stock, purchasing, deliveries and follow-up in the same operating context

F&B teams need more than sales totals. Component.app connects what each outlet has, what it needs, who approved it, what arrived and which exception still needs an owner.

A complete operating system

Connect the records, workflows and outside handoffs around the same operation

Start with the core records and daily work, then add the rules, portals and selected integrations that make the operating model specific to your business.

Core capability

Outlet and item records

Keep outlets, ingredients, recipes, units, par levels and stock locations connected.

Core capability

Counts and stock movement

Record counts, usage, transfers, adjustments and wastage with reasons and ownership.

Core capability

Supplier purchasing

Move purchase requests through review, PO issue, receipt and discrepancy resolution.

Component.app customisation

Outlet-specific controls

Adapt par levels, approval limits, waste thresholds and visibility by outlet or group.

Optional module

Supplier participation

Add a scoped supplier view for confirmations and supporting documents when required.

Integration-dependent

Connected source data

Import or connect selected POS, accounting and messaging providers when the setup supports it.

Signature operating workflows

See the rule, record, status and next action behind each promise

Each workflow below uses a dedicated product state rather than a generic dashboard, with integration and review boundaries stated where they matter.

Stock count and variance

Turn a stock difference into a named next action

Outlet teams record the count in context. Variances above the selected threshold move to review with the item, reason, owner and source count still attached.

Sending the approved PO by email or messaging depends on the selected provider and setup.

Purchasing and approval

Move outlet demand from request to approved purchase order

Requests carry the requesting outlet, supplier, items, value and required approval so purchasing does not have to reconstruct the order from chat messages.

Receiving and discrepancy

Keep short deliveries open until the evidence is resolved

Received quantities are checked against the PO. A shortage stays visible with its owner, supplier response and supporting document instead of disappearing into a message thread.

Adapt the operation around each outlet

Standard restaurant software records transactions; Component.app can shape the handoffs around them

Use Component.app as the configurable back-office layer for records, rules, roles and exception workflows that do not fit neatly inside a POS.

Standard category software

A POS usually captures sales, menu items and payment activity.

With Component.app

Component.app can connect that source data to outlet-specific stock, purchasing, delivery and follow-up rules.

AI-assisted and human-reviewed

AI can prepare an exception brief without deciding for the manager

The assistant works from the outlet's connected records, cites what it used and leaves the summary editable before anyone acts.

F&B operations software explained

A back-office operations layer for the work your POS does not own

F&B operations software connects inventory, wastage, supplier purchasing, receiving and outlet controls. Component.app is deliberately positioned around an existing POS rather than claiming to replace payment, ordering or accounting products.

Keep the POS

Import or connect selected sales and item data when the provider and technical setup allow it.

Model your operating rules

Configure outlet access, thresholds, approvals and exception paths around the way the group works.

Add outside participation when useful

Scope supplier portals, messages or accounting handoffs as optional or integration-dependent modules.

Direct answers

Questions about fit, controls and integrations

Does Component.app replace our POS?+

No replacement is required. Component.app can operate as the back-office workflow layer around your POS. Data can be imported or connected when the selected POS and technical setup support it.

Can different outlets use different par levels and approval rules?+

Yes. Par levels, thresholds, approval routes and record visibility can be configured by outlet, item category, supplier, value or another agreed operating rule.

Can the system manage a central kitchen and transfers?+

A configured workflow can connect production requests, dispatch quantities, transfer records, receiving confirmation and unresolved differences between locations.

Can suppliers receive purchase orders or upload documents?+

A scoped supplier portal is available as an optional module. Email or messaging delivery depends on the selected provider and integration setup.

Does it calculate recipe and food cost automatically?+

Ingredient, recipe, supplier-price and usage records can be connected. The level of automation depends on the quality and availability of data from the POS, purchasing and accounting systems.

How does AI act on operational data?+

AI can prepare summaries or drafts from connected records and show the sources it used. Staff review, edit and confirm the result before any consequential action.
