Inventory

Know what runs out before it does.

Saturday, and the oat milk is gone. Say what came in and what went out, the way you would say it to a barista, and the shelf keeps up with the shop. Nothing counts until you say yes.

In your pocket

MonkAI reads the invoice. You check the lines.

Send the delivery as the distributor printed it. Every line comes back as a row in your own counting words, checked against what you typed, and the one line it cannot place is named, not written.

How MonkAI works
  1. The invoice, read into stock

    Caps, pack sizes, CS and EA, the lines as the distributor printed them. Every line becomes a row you can read: 6 CS whole milk is 24 gallons. It cannot write a number you did not give it, and a line it cannot place is named, never guessed.

    Tue · 10:40 AM · The distributor’s invoice, as printed.

  2. Dairy at the back door.

    6 crates whole, 2 cases oat, 1 almond, read in. One yes.

    Fri · 6:20 AM

  3. What went out, in a sentence

    "Pulled 3 whole, 2 oat, a sleeve of 12 oz cups." Typed at close, logged in one go, and that is how it learns how fast your shop really goes through things.

    Wednesday 5:35 PM · pulled 3 whole, 2 oat, a sleeve of cups

  4. Waste, said the way you would say it

    "Dumped about half a gallon of whole, steamed too much in the rush." "Tossed 3 butter croissants, 1 almond, 2 muffins at close." It is off the shelf and on the record, with its reason, before you have locked the door.

    Thursday 10:05 AM · dumped about half a gallon of whole

What to buy, and when

Weeks of supply per item, from your own pulls, with what is already on the way counted so nothing gets ordered twice. A buy list sorted by what runs out first. The order stays yours to place; it never orders for you.

Monday · before Tuesday’s truck

Ask the shelf

"What are we low on before Tuesday?" "How much oat do we have?" A real answer from your own counts, with where it came from, while there is still time to fix it.

Nothing typed. Everything counted.
