Platform
Everything your BOH needs.
Nothing your front-of-house doesn't.
Four tightly integrated capabilities built around how prep actually works — by station, by day-part, by CCP. Not adapted from generic restaurant ERP or point-of-sale software. This is a BOH operations tool, full stop.
Prep Scheduling
Every station. Every day-part. Every par level.
Build repeatable prep lists organized by station — grill, sauté, pantry, dish — and by day-part (AM, PM, closing). Set par levels against historical consumption data, not guesswork.
- Station-based task assignment with drag-and-drop reordering
- AM / PM / closing day-part scheduling
- Par-level math with safety factor inputs
- Live completion tracking — manager sees status in real time
- Offline-capable on tablet and phone
HACCP Temp Logs
Digital CCPs. Auto-flagged. Audit-ready.
Define your critical control points once. Prepcadence prompts your team to log temperatures at the right intervals and automatically flags any reading outside your defined range.
- CCP definitions: receiving, cold hold, hot hold, cooling, reheating
- Custom alert thresholds — e.g. flag anything above 41°F in cold hold
- Immediate manager notification on out-of-range log
- PDF export formatted for health department presentation
- Timestamped, non-editable records for compliance confidence
Inventory & Par Management
Know what you have. Know when you need more.
Track current on-hand quantities against par levels for every SKU. Auto-flag items below par. Log FIFO receiving dates and enforce rotation discipline before it becomes a food safety issue.
- SKU-level on-hand vs. par tracking
- Below-par alert pushes to manager dashboard
- Receiving log with FIFO date enforcement
- Up to 50 SKUs on Starter, unlimited on Operations
Food Cost Variance
Theoretical vs. actual.
See where the gap is.
Enter your recipe yield expectations. Prepcadence compares them weekly against actual SKU usage logged by your team. The variance report shows you exactly where shrinkage and waste are happening.
- Recipe yield input: expected portion count vs. trim weight
- Actual usage logged at prep time
- Weekly variance report by SKU and by recipe
- Identify your top 3 waste contributors every week
Works alongside your existing setup.
Prepcadence is not a POS replacement and not a full restaurant ERP. It's your BOH operations layer — it reads data from your POS and supplier invoices via CSV, and lets your prep team run independently of your front-of-house systems. Native integrations with Toast, Square, and Lightspeed are on the roadmap.
