Lookup & Forecast

Same concept, two different topics:

Let’s Clear the Air
We color outside the lines and don’t fit into the mold you might be used to.  Allow us to explain ourselves…
Point of Sale
We are not a Point of Sale (POS) software…we will leave that work to our friends! POS software functions are integral to any operation, but also includes data we use for understanding the full scope of menu performance and program profitability. MenuLogic K12 works alongside your existing POS solution to capture information needed to aggregate, analyze, and action data with optimization top of mind. Â
Inventory Management
We do not provide inventory counting or tracking functions. MenuLogic K12 does provide insights to support decisions that can impact inventory usage and ordering projections, based on historical data. If the purpose of the inventory value your team is tracking is to understand Cost of Goods Sold (COGS), we provide you a link to reality with the detail to back it up: a clear understanding of what your COGS should have been.Â
