Insights new

The deepest read on your margin.

Stock captures every cost, so Papaya can show profit at every level — menu price down to net, after food cost, option groups, discounts and delivery commissions. It points to where margin leaks, and acts on it for you where it can.

  • Find the leaks. Profitability at every level shows exactly where margin goes — a 30% delivery commission, a discount quietly eating the plate.
  • Acted on for you. Copilot drafts the fix — a channel-specific price, a tighter promo, a menu swap — to approve from your phone.
  • Understand it all. Channels, categories, items and outlets in one view — your whole business, deeper than a spreadsheet ever went.

Recipe-level costing

Every sale knows exactly what it cost you.

Build a recipe — or a prep and batch recipe — once. From then on, each item sold depletes the right ingredients through a modifier-to-ingredient mapping: extra cheese pulls 30g, "no rice" puts it back. Your COGS, yield and plate margin stay live, dish by dish.

  • Recipes, prep & batch recipes. Sauces and stocks cost once, then flow into every dish that uses them.
  • Modifier → ingredient mapping. Every option, add-on and swap depletes the right stock automatically.
  • Menu engineering & profitability. See stars, plough-horses and quiet money-losers — yield and margin included.

Receiving & suppliers new

Receive a delivery by photographing the invoice.

Snap the supplier invoice and Papaya reads every line, matches it to your ingredients and units, flags price changes, and stages stock to receive — no typing rows into a spreadsheet at the back door. Approve, and on-hand quantities update instantly.

  • Line matching & price alerts. Lines map to your ingredients; cost creep is flagged on receipt.
  • Supplier management. Suppliers, catalogues, units and price history in one place.
  • Real cost into your COGS. Each receipt feeds the actual price straight back into plate margins.

Central kitchen & transfersComing Soon

Produce in one place, transfer to every outlet.

Prep sauces, stocks and batch items in a central kitchen, then transfer them to outlets as ready-to-use stock. Cost and quantity travel with the transfer, so each location's COGS stays honest and head office sees the whole network at once.

  • Inter-outlet transfers. Move batch recipes and raw stock between venues with value attached.
  • Network-wide stock view. One base recipe set, per-outlet on-hand and food cost.
  • Built for multi-venue groups. Same engine that runs your POS, payments and counts.

Why it matters

Food cost is where margin quietly leaks.

A point or two of food cost is the difference between a good month and a flat one. Stock closes the gap between what your recipes say and what actually walked out the back door.

Stock questions

Good to know.

It's built into the same system as your POS — so the costing happens without anyone touching it mid-service.

No. Depletion happens automatically behind the scenes when an item is sold — your staff take orders exactly as they do now. Recipes and counts are set up once in the back office, not at the till during a rush.
Count by area — walk-in, dry store, bar — on a phone. Papaya reconciles what you counted against the theoretical on-hand your recipes predict, shows the variance, and posts the adjustment to the movements ledger so you can see exactly where stock went.
It reads each line, matches it to your ingredients and units, and flags price changes — then stages everything for you to review before it touches stock. Nothing is received until you approve it, so a misread line is caught in seconds rather than baked into your costs.
Yes. Produce batch recipes and prep in a central kitchen, then transfer them to outlets as ready-to-use stock — cost and quantity move with the transfer, so each outlet's COGS and your network-wide view both stay accurate.

Stop guessing your food cost.

Stock works because the sale already lives in Papaya. Add it to your POS and let Copilot turn margins into decisions.
