Store to Kitchen — Inventory, Production & Pricing Intelligence
Your storefront automatically shows real stock levels, creates production tasks from orders, and alerts you to pricing issues.
Your online store and your kitchen are one system: the storefront shows real stock levels (from ingredient inventory, not manual toggles), online orders create production tasks automatically, and you're alerted when a product's price slips below margin. Here's how the store and operations connect.
Inventory-Aware Storefront
Your store automatically shows "Low Stock" and "Sold Out" badges based on real ingredient levels — not just manual product stock toggles.
How It Works
- For each recipe-based product, the system checks every ingredient's current stock against the recipe's requirements
- It calculates how many full batches you can make from available ingredients
- Less than 1 batch possible: "Sold Out" badge (red) — Add to Cart disabled if "Block When Out of Stock" is on
- 1-3 batches possible: "Low Stock" badge (amber)
- More than 3 batches: Normal display
Order-to-Production Pipeline
When a storefront order is confirmed (payment received), production tasks are automatically created in your Production Schedule.
How It Works
- Customer places and pays for a storefront order
- Each recipe-based item in the order becomes a Production Task
- Tasks are scheduled for the order's due date minus the product's lead time
- If no production schedule exists for that date, one is auto-created
- Your bakers see storefront orders in their production view — no manual entry needed
Smart Pricing Suggestions
The system analyzes your recipe costs against storefront prices to flag margin issues.
What Gets Flagged
- Critical: Products with margins below 10% — you may be losing money
- Warning: Products with margins between 10-25% — below the recommended 40% target
- Info: Products with margins above 65% — consider if the price is competitive
Suggestions include a recommended price to reach a 40% margin. All suggestions are logged in the AI Suggestion Log for your review. This is a staff-only feature — customers never see pricing analysis.
