Par Levels

Set minimum stock levels so you never run out of key ingredients.

1

What is this?

A par level is the minimum amount of an ingredient you want on hand at all times. When stock drops below the par, KinDee adds it to your Market List automatically. Think of it as your reorder point.

What problem does it solve?

Without par levels, you discover you're out of something during service. Or your buyer doesn't know how much to order, so they either over-buy (waste) or under-buy (86'd items). Par levels remove the guesswork.

Pro tip

KinDee suggests par levels based on your last 14 days of consumption. Start with those suggestions and adjust based on your experience — you know your weekends are busier than the system does (at first).
