Yokitup
Stock, supplier order, inventory and cost-of-goods management for restaurants.
Yokitup covers stock, supplier orders, inventories and cost of goods. Phone-based inventory and cost calculation are affordable in-house. Large-scale supplier management is less so. An independent venue can do without it; a group gains a lot from it.
What you lose
- The proven mobile inventory app.
- Integrations with tills and suppliers.
- The vendor's guidance and support.

The prompt to build it yourself
Build me a stock, supplier order, inventory and cost-of-goods tool, for my venue, to replace a subscription. Stack: web app (Next.js or Node/Express) with SQLite, hosted on my small server, usable on phone and computer. No mandatory paid service, no telemetry. Core of the tool: - Rolling inventories on phone, per area, with quick entry. - Supplier orders with history and delivery tracking. - Cost of goods per period, compared with turnover entered, with inventory gaps. Requirements: - Units and conversions (kg, g, L, cl, piece); purchase price excl. VAT per product and per supplier, with a history of changes. - Recipe card per dish: ingredients, weights, losses and yield, cost per portion, selling price incl. VAT, margin in euros and as a percentage. - VAT configurable per product (for example 10% for catering, 20% for alcohol): to be validated by my accountant, hard-code nothing. - Allergens: the 14 mandatory allergens ticked per ingredient, and automatically carried onto each recipe card (decree 2015-447). - CSV import and export (products, suppliers, recipes) so I am not locked in. Out of scope: the till, accounting and wholesalers. README: installation, database backup, and a reminder that the VAT rates and allergen declarations are to be validated with my accountant and my suppliers.
