Opening Stock

Count what you actually have — the starting point for accurate stock tracking.

1

What is this?

Opening stock is your physical count — you walk through your kitchen, your fridge, your dry store, and count what's actually there. This tells KinDee what you're starting with, so it can track everything from that point forward.

What problem does it solve?

Without a count, the system is guessing. It might think you have 20 kg of chicken because that's what deliveries say, but 3 kg spoiled and the count was never right to begin with. Your stock numbers become fiction.

Pro tip

Do your count at the same time each day (before opening is best). Consistency matters more than precision — a rough daily count beats a perfect count once a month.
