Frequently Asked Questions

  • How does Fourth track inventory?
    • Fourth tracks inventory by allowing teams to record stock counts directly within the platform, automatically updating levels based on sales data, purchase orders, and goods-in records, and highlighting variances between expected and actual stock so operators can quickly identify waste, theft, or recording errors — giving a continuously accurate picture of what’s on hand across every site without relying on manual spreadsheets or end-of-period stocktakes alone.
  • What happens when I am running low on inventory?
    • When stock levels drop to a predefined threshold, Fourth automatically generates an order suggestion for the relevant items based on your par levels, sales forecasts, and supplier lead times — prompting your team to act before a shortage occurs rather than discovering the gap mid-service, and ensuring the right quantity is ordered without the guesswork that leads to either running out or over-ordering.
  • What are the benefits of menu management software?
    • – Central repository of recipes and menus – Master data – one version of product and menu data to feed today’s multi-channel environment of POS, digital menu boards, websites, apps, kiosks etc.
      – Accessible anywhere the user can access the internet
      – Central control (of which data can be seen) with locally specific data sets (if needed) so increased relevance for the end user
      – Change a recipe/menu in one place (reduced admin time), all users see the updated information
      – With no hardware or software to buy or maintain, you can focus on the food, not the IT.
      – Service available online whenever and wherever you need it.
      – Secure and backed-up in the cloud.
