What is Smart Stock?
TableCore's Smart Stock system allows you to track inventory at the Ingredient Level rather than just counting sold items.
Think of it like a "Central Tank".
When you restock, you just "Refill the Tank" (Add a Keg).
1. Adding Stock (Restocking)
There are two ways to add stock to your ingredients.
#### Method A: The Time-Saver (Invoice Scanning)
The fastest way to populate stock is to let our AI do it for you.
2. Upload your PDF or Photo of a supplier invoice (e.g. from Reynolds or Bibendum).
3. AI Mapping: The system reads the invoice. It recognizes "1x Case of Cokes" and initiates the smart mapper.
4. One-Click Post: Once mapped, click "Post Invoice". The system automatically unpacks that "Case" into "24 Cans" and adds them to your stock.
#### Method B: Manual Entry
You can also add stock manually if you don't have an invoice.
2. Find your ingredient (e.g. "Vodka 70cl").
3. Click Restock.
4. Select the unit you are holding. You can add "2 Bottles" OR "5 Liters". The system handles the math.
2. Smart Splitters (Chained Units)
Real kitchens are complex. You buy in Cases, open Packs, and use Grams. TableCore handles this with Chained Splitters.
You can define "Top-Down" relationships so the system always knows how much you have.
Example Setup:
2. Level 2: Define "1 Pack" = "500 Grams".
The Result:
3. Automatic Depletion
Once your ingredients are linked to Menu Items (Recipes), everything is automatic.
> Tip: Check the "Leakage Report" to see the difference between what you *sold* (Theoretical usage) and what you *actually used* (based on your stock counts).
