Resort Restaurant lets you enter your ingredient purchase details which the program will keep track of for the current accounting period.  Ingredient purchases are entered via the Invoice form.

 

Resort Restaurant uses the information entered into Invoices to calculate total stock purchases for each ingredient.  You can view stock purchases via the Invoice Form and the Purchases page of the Ingredient Form.  The program also uses these purchase figures when generating a Cost of Good Sold report at the end of each accounting period.

 

NOTE 1: Entering stock purchases can be time consuming and is optional.  You may wish to just use Resort Restaurant for stocktaking purposes, so if you don't enter purchase details via Invoices, the program will just print zero purchase quantities in the various stock reports.  

 

NOTE 2: Some larger establishments might use a separate inventory system to track purchases and stocktakes.  If you are in that position, but you still wish to use Resort Restaurant's reporting facilities, you can create a 'dummy' invoice for the current accounting period.  Just make sure that the total value of the invoice is the same as that reported by your inventory system and Resort Restaurant will display the correct figures in the Cost of Goods Sold report.
