FAQ's
## You've Got Questions. We've Got Answers.
## How does AI invoice scanning work in StockTake Online?
You photograph your supplier invoice using the STO mobile app. The AI reads the invoice in seconds — extracting supplier name, line items, quantities, and unit prices. Stock levels update automatically and any price variance against your last purchase order is flagged immediately. No manual data entry. No transcription errors.
## What is real-time stock control and why does it matter?
Real-time stock control means your inventory levels update the moment a delivery is processed, a sale is recorded, or a waste entry is logged — not at the end of the week when someone does a manual count. With live stock data, you can see which items are running low before service, identify shrinkage as it happens, and stop over-ordering based on outdated numbers.
## Can STO track allergens and nutritional information?
Yes. STO includes allergen tracking across your full product and recipe library. Each ingredient is flagged for the 14 major allergens. When a recipe is built in STO, the allergen profile is calculated automatically. This supports compliance with Natasha’s Law and equivalent legislation in the UAE, Singapore, US, and Australia.
## How does recipe costing work in StockTake Online?
You build recipes inside STO by assigning ingredients from your live product library. STO calculates the cost of each dish using your actual invoice prices. When a supplier raises a price, every recipe containing that ingredient updates automatically — giving you a live food cost percentage for your entire menu at all times.
## What reporting does STO provide for multi-site restaurant groups?
STO enterprise reporting covers GP% by site, stock variance, cost of goods sold, waste by category, supplier spend, price movement alerts, and period-on-period comparisons. Reports are available in the dashboard and exportable to PDF or Excel. Head office sees consolidated group data; site managers see only their own location.
## Does StockTake Online work for hotels, contract catering, and dark kitchens?
Yes. STO works for any F&B operation. Hotels use it across multiple outlets. Contract caterers use it for portion control and cost per cover. Dark kitchens use it to manage high-volume ingredient throughput. The platform adapts to your operation structure, not the other way around.
