Our Features
Key Features
Real-Time Inventory Tracking
Track every ingredient in your inventory, from bulk items like meat and produce to individual components like cheese slices and condiments. As orders are placed and items are used, inventory counts are updated in real-time, giving you an accurate view of what’s in stock at any moment.
Granular or Non-Granular Tracking
Recipefi allows you to track ingredient usage at varying levels of granularity. You can choose to track ingredients at a high level (e.g., “burger patty”) or break it down further (e.g., “1 oz of burger patty”), depending on the level of detail you want for cost control and waste tracking.
Ingredient Breakdown in Orders
When a customer places an order, Recipefi automatically calculates and deducts the exact ingredients used for each dish. For example, if a customer orders a hamburger, the system will track:
- 1 patty burger
- 1 bun
- 1 slice of cheese
- 1 serving of lettuce
- 1 serving of ketchup
These items are then deducted from your inventory in real-time, allowing you to see exactly what has been used.
Inventory Purchase Tracking
Link each food purchase to its corresponding ingredients. Whether you’re buying bulk ingredients or pre-processed items, Recipefi tracks every purchase, so you know exactly where every dollar spent is going. This ensures better budgeting and helps you track supplier performance.
Waste Control and Expense Management
Control your food costs by identifying waste patterns in your kitchen. Recipefi helps you monitor ingredient usage against actual sales, reducing over-ordering and preventing spoilage. By tracking what is used in each order, you can make data-driven decisions to minimize waste and keep costs in check.
POS, Delivery, and E-Commerce Integration
Sync Recipefi with your POS system, customer-facing website, and delivery platforms like UberEats or DoorDash. When an order is placed, whether in-person or online, the app automatically updates inventory and cost calculations, ensuring you never lose track of what’s going in and out of your kitchen.
Sales & Expense Insights
The app generates detailed reports on food purchases, sales, waste, and inventory levels, allowing you to see exactly where your money is being spent and where you can improve. With these insights, you can make informed decisions on pricing, portion sizes, and ingredient procurement.
Mobile-Friendly and Easy to Use:
Recipefi’s user-friendly interface ensures that even kitchen staff or managers without technical expertise can quickly understand and use the system. The app is accessible on mobile devices, tablets, and desktops, ensuring you can manage your inventory from anywhere.

Explain request for merchant permissions:
When developing an app like Recipefi that interacts with sensitive business data and external platforms (such as POS systems, payment gateways, and delivery services), it’s crucial to request and explain merchant permissions carefully. These permissions are necessary to ensure that your app has the right level of access to the data and functionality it needs to operate, while maintaining security, privacy, and transparency.
Merchant permissions refer to the specific types of access an app needs from a business or restaurant (the merchant) to function effectively. These permissions typically cover access to sensitive data, such as inventory levels, sales data, transaction information, and integration with external platforms like POS systems, delivery services, and payment gateways.
In the case of Recipefi, these permissions are required for:
- Tracking Inventory: Access to inventory data so the app can update stock levels as ingredients are used in orders.
- Processing Payments: Access to payment systems to track sales and handle transactions.
- Accessing POS Data: Integration with the restaurant’s POS system to monitor sales and manage orders.
- Sending Notifications/Reports: The ability to send updates or reports to the restaurant owner/manager via email, SMS, or app notifications.
- Tracking Orders: Integration with third-party delivery platforms or e-commerce systems to sync and track incoming orders.
To ensure the Recipefi app functions as designed, you’ll need certain permissions from the merchant. These permissions enable the app to:
In the case of Recipefi, these permissions are required for:
- Automatically Update Inventory: Access to sales data and ingredient usage is critical to ensure real-time inventory tracking. As orders are placed and ingredients are used, the app will need to update inventory counts.
- Integrate with POS & Payment Systems: For streamlined operations, Recipefi needs permission to access sales data, track payments, and integrate with your existing POS system and payment processors. This allows seamless order tracking and financial reporting.
- Generate Accurate Reports: The app needs to retrieve data on sales, orders, inventory levels, and food costs to generate actionable insights and reports that help manage food costs and optimize menu pricing.
- Sync with Delivery Platforms: If your restaurant uses third-party delivery platforms (e.g., UberEats, Grubhub, DoorDash), Recipefi requires permissions to sync orders from these platforms, so ingredient usage can be tracked automatically, and inventory levels are updated in real-time.
When setting up Recipefi, the merchant (restaurant owner or manager) will be asked to grant the following permissions:
a. Access to Inventory Data
- What it does: This permission allows the app to view and update the inventory of ingredients in real-time as they are used in orders.
- Why it's needed: To track ingredients from purchase to sale, ensuring accurate inventory levels and helping prevent overstocking or understocking.
- How it works: The app will deduct quantities from inventory as orders are placed and items are used (e.g., 1 burger patty, 1 slice of cheese).
b. POS System Access
- What it does: The app needs permission to access the merchant’s POS system (like Square, Toast, or Lightspeed) to pull order data, sales reports, and transaction history.
- Why it's needed: So that the app can track orders placed by customers, including menu items sold, and update inventory automatically when a sale occurs.
- How it works: The app syncs with the POS to capture real-time sales, reducing the need for manual input and ensuring accuracy in inventory management.
c. Access to Payment Gateways
- What it does: This allows Recipefi to track customer payments, process transactions, and link them to inventory and order data.
- Why it's needed: To accurately record payments and ensure the financial side of inventory and orders is tracked correctly.
- How it works: The app connects with payment providers (like Stripe, Square, or PayPal) to update financial reports and track revenue.
d. Access to Third-Party Delivery Platforms
- What it does: Permissions are required to access platforms such as UberEats, DoorDash, Grubhub, or others to sync incoming orders from these services with your internal inventory.
- Why it's needed: To ensure that online and delivery orders are reflected in the same system as in-house orders, allowing accurate inventory tracking and reducing the risk of overselling items.
- How it works: The app pulls order details from the delivery platform and automatically deducts used ingredients from inventory.
e. Notifications and Alerts
- What it does: This permission allows the app to send notifications and reports to the merchant, such as stock alerts, low inventory warnings, or financial reports.
- Why it's needed: To keep restaurant owners and managers updated on stock levels, orders, and other critical business insights.
- How it works: The app can send notifications when an item is running low, or when a specific sales or inventory threshold is reached.
When requesting merchant permissions for Recipefi, it’s crucial to be transparent and clear about the data you need and how it will be used. Here’s how to approach this:
1.Explain the Permissions Clearly: In the app’s setup process, include a clear explanation of why each permission is necessary. Use simple language and outline how each permission contributes to the app’s functionality (e.g., “This permission allows us to track inventory in real-time so you never run out of stock”).
2. Request Permission Step-by-Step:
- When the user first installs the app, provide a setup guide or walkthrough that explains the permissions being requested.
- Ask for permission to access the POS system, inventory data, and payment systems step-by-step during onboarding, rather than all at once. This reduces friction and confusion.
3. Provide a “Permission Consent” Screen: A screen should pop up during setup, asking users to agree to the required permissions before proceeding. You can include checkboxes and a brief description of each permission, with an option to read more detailed information in the Privacy Policy or Terms of Service.
4. Allow Flexibility: If some permissions are optional (e.g., integration with third-party platforms), give the user the option to skip those permissions and explain that these features will be limited if not granted.
5. Ensure Security and Compliance: Clearly communicate your commitment to security and privacy. Provide links to your Privacy Policy and Terms of Service where users can learn more about how their data will be used and stored. If the app processes payments, ensure it complies with PCI DSS standards for payment data security.
6. Transparency & Consent: Always ask for explicit consent from the merchant before accessing any of their data. Make it easy for them to review, modify, or revoke permissions in the app settings.
Example 1: Request for POS Access
Text: “Recipefi needs to access your POS system to sync sales data and update your inventory automatically. This helps you track ingredient usage in real-time and manage food costs more effectively. Do you agree to allow Recipefi to access your POS system? You can disconnect it at any time from the settings.”
Button: “Grant Permission” / “Learn More” (with a link to the privacy policy)
Example 2: Request for Payment Gateway Access
Text: “Recipefi requires access to your payment system (e.g., Stripe, PayPal) to track and record payments, helping you manage revenue and expenses. All payment information is securely handled. Do you agree to grant this access?”
Button: “Allow Access” / “Read More”
Make it easy for users to manage their permissions over time. In your app, include a section in the settings where merchants can:
Button: “Grant Permission” / “Learn More” (with a link to the privacy policy)
- View and modify permissions granted to the app.
- Disconnect or reauthorize integrations (e.g., POS system or payment gateway).
- Access and update their consent preferences for notifications, marketing, and data sharing.
