Overview
The Digital Manager mobile application (app) allows multiple users to simultaneously add regular and hot item inventory. All users will sync the mobile app when they have completed their location, and one user will post. Users will need a stable connection to WiFi to post inventory from the Digital Manager mobile app.
Inventory is a complete list of all the items or raw materials required to prepare dishes, including food, spices, paper items, cleaning supplies, linens, merchandise, liquor, beverages, etc. Counting inventory helps track the ingredients coming in and out of your restaurant.
Each company, franchisee, or brand determines the frequency stores should count and post regular inventory. For example, weekly, monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly, etc.
Hot item inventory is daily counts that occur at the beginning of each day before sales are entered into the Point of Sales (POS). Hot item inventory allows stores to track high-variance and high-cost ingredients.

Enter & Post Inventory
Inventory items may be counted in multiple locations. Decision Logic’s platform will sum all the counts entered for items counted in multiple locations. Posted inventories cannot be edited. Users may need to submit an inventory change request.
Follow the steps below.
Open and login. Additionally, multi-store managers must be in the single-store view to enter inventory.
Some brands may choose to count hot item inventory at night. However, there are a few different rules when this is the business model. Users can count hot item inventory at night but will select the next day’s date when posting.
For example, tonight is May 10th and I’m counting at night. I must have tonight’s sales into Decision Logic before posting. Therefore, I can either wait to post tomorrow morning before sales are rung up (May 11th), or I can select May 11th after sales have pushed to Decision Logic from the POS. Entries will hold locally on Digital Manager or the web platform until it is Posted.
