Baloo Cafe
Structured tracking of consumption and cost in a high-volume environment
Baloo Cafe used Smart Apothiki to organize the tracking of raw materials, inventory and consumption, giving management a clearer view of cost and variances in day-to-day operations.
Context
Baloo Cafe is a café with a steady flow of customers and high consumption of raw materials across coffees, drinks and snacks. Its operation depends on speed and volume.
The problem
Orders were placed mainly based on experience, without a clear view of consumption. Variances in coffee, milk and consumables were noticed late, and the cost per product was not always clear to management.
The intervention
Smart Apothiki was applied for structured tracking of raw materials, inventory and consumption. The recording flows were adapted to the logic of a café so that they fit into the staff's daily routine.
The recording flows were designed around the daily operation of the bar and the kitchen.
The result
Management gained a central view of consumption and a clearer view of cost, while inventory management and variance tracking were organized into a structured flow.
What has changed in operation
Decisions on orders and drink costs are now supported by recorded consumption and inventory data, not by experience alone.
