The Inventory Tracker
That Pays For Itself
A free Excel tool built for Indian cafes and restaurants. Track stock, catch wastage, know your costs. Every single day.
What's inside
Seven sheets. One system.
Built in Excel, works in Google Sheets. Pre-filled with 20 common cafe items. Formulas, dropdowns, and colour-coded alerts already set up. Just add your data.
Item Master
Your full ingredient list with unit costs, par levels, and suppliers: the single source of truth for everything else.
Daily Inventory
Opening, received, used, closing, wastage: tracked every shift. Variance flags tell you immediately if something is off.
Purchase Log
Every delivery, every rupee, on record. Track supplier-wise spending and keep your invoices in order.
Wastage Log
Know exactly where you're bleeding money and why. Expired, overproduction, spillage, damage: categorised and costed.
COGS Report
Weekly food cost percentage, auto-calculated. Highlights in red if you cross 35%, the danger zone for Indian cafes.
Reorder List
An automatic shopping list built from what's running low. Updated every time you fill in the daily inventory.
Instructions
Plain-English setup guide built in. Most operators are up and running in under an hour. No training needed.
