What's New in Inventory

Wednesday, October 21, 2026

Version 20.26.10.08

NEW: Crunchtime Kitchen and Inventory connection is here! Now your team can now log waste right where it happens—in the kitchen!
Why you'll love it:

• Eliminate double entry: No more manual re-keying between systems.

• Reduce food waste: Spot usage trends faster with instant tracking.

• Maintain real-time accuracy: Keep inventory counts reliable across every location.

How it works:
When waste is logged in a kitchen bin on the KDS, it is automatically sent to Net-Chef as a Recipe Adjustment. Net-Chef then immediately depletes that recipe's components from the location's inventory.

Enhancement: Improved Clarity for Recipe Adjustments

NEW: AI Forecasting – Local Events

• Will adding local events improve accuracy right away, or does it take time?
  Both. Any event you add can improve the forecast for that specific date going forward. But the real value builds over time: the more local context you add across your locations, the more tailored and accurate your forecast becomes overall.

• Who can add or manage local events?
  This is managed at the Location level by users who have access to the Sales Forecasting screen. There are no new User Group Permissions for this feature. 

• NCQS - Manage Sales Forecasts

This UDA can also be updated to exclude Transaction IDs for other transactions, such as Location Transfer (LT), Inventory Delta (ID), and Commissary (CO). Fields that need to be excluded can be specified here. This UDA supports multiple options separated by a #.
  Example: The value "SA|1234#LT|4567" would exclude Transaction ID 1234 from the Sales file and Transaction ID 4567 from the Transfer file.
