よくある質問
What is ingredient lot-tracking automation?
It is a digital inventory system that records and tracks the unique expiration dates of raw material batches using QR or barcode scanners, replacing manual paper logs with automated cloud data to prevent high-value food waste.
Why do manual spreadsheets and clipboards fail in busy central kitchens?
Manual methods are highly susceptible to human transcription errors, especially in fast-paced receiving docks. They lack real-time visibility, automated alarms, and cannot dynamically calculate or enforce FEFO storage rules.
What is the difference between FIFO and FEFO?
FIFO dispatches inventory based strictly on when it arrived at the warehouse, whereas FEFO dispatches stock based on the earliest expiration date. FEFO is highly recommended for fresh, volatile, or highly perishable ingredients.
How quickly can an F&B brand achieve ROI with this software?
Sweet Treat Co. achieved a full return on investment in under 90 days. By cutting fresh coconut milk waste from 45,000 THB to 5,000 THB monthly, the operational savings fully offset the software licenses and rugged hardware costs.
What hardware features are necessary for kitchen lot-tracking?
Kitchen environments require industrial, ruggedized hardware with at least an IP65 protection rating to protect against water, moisture, and extreme temperatures. Standard consumer tablets or mobile devices break too quickly.
