Café & coffee shop stock counting
Café inventory & stock counting app
Count coffee beans, syrups, milks, paper cups, and café consumables quickly using your phone. Built for busy coffee shops, beverage bars, and food service counters that need accurate stock checks without clunky clipboards or bloated restaurant software.
Fast counting for busy coffee bars & walk-in coolers
Hospitality moves fast. Keep regular track of high-turnover ingredients, packaging, and retail merchandise directly on your phone.
1. Scan barcodes or select items
Scan retail bean bags and bottled syrups instantly with your camera, or tap to select unpackaged items from your catalog.
2. Count stock in storage or bar stations
Record whole units on hand across front counter shelves, backroom racks, and walk-in refrigerators.
3. Works fully offline in coolers & basements
No dropped connection worries. All barcode scans and counts save locally inside walk-in coolers or basement storerooms.
4. Draft supplier purchase orders
Turn low beans, milk cartons, and cups into clean purchase orders ready to send to local roasters and distributors.
5. Export and share clean spreadsheets
Export CSV or Excel counts and share them directly with your café manager, owner, or bookkeeper via chat or email.

Clear operational boundaries
Retail Scan & Stock focuses on physical counting, barcode scanning, purchase orders, and clean spreadsheet sharing. It does not calculate per-drink recipe depletion, food costing margins, or integrate with restaurant kitchen display POS systems.
Frequently asked questions about café inventory
- Does scanning work inside metal walk-in coolers?
- Yes. Retail Scan & Stock is offline-first. Your entire catalog and counting session operate locally on your phone without cellular or Wi-Fi.
- Can I draft purchase orders for multiple roasters and milk vendors?
- Yes. You can assign suppliers to items, convert counted shortages into purchase orders, and export them as clean files for each vendor.
- Does it track espresso shots poured from an open bag of beans?
- No. Retail Scan & Stock tracks physical stocked units (e.g. 1kg bags, cartons, or whole bottles), not liquid recipe depletion.
