Quick answer
Inventory sheet built for bakeries: Bakeries manage early production, batch yields, sell-through timing, allergen visibility, pre-order items, and pastry case availability.
What this template helps you do
This inventory sheet helps bakeries connect stock counts to menu decisions. Bakeries manage early production, batch yields, sell-through timing, allergen visibility, pre-order items, and pastry case availability.
Best use case
Use it before busy shifts, delivery days, events, and any service where low stock should change what guests see. Use the QR menu to show daily pastry availability, seasonal items, pre-order notes, and allergen details that do not fit on case labels.

How to use the inventory sheet
Count before service decisions
Run the count early enough to change prep, purchasing, or menu availability.
Compare against par
Highlight low-stock items and items with more stock than expected.
Choose menu actions
Mark items limited, pause promos, adjust specials, or remove sold-out items.
Review after service
Use sell-outs and waste to refine the next par level.
Inventory is a menu visibility input
For bakeries, a stock count should affect guest-facing availability before guests try to order unavailable items.
How this connects to your QR menu
Use the QR menu to show daily pastry availability, seasonal items, pre-order notes, and allergen details that do not fit on case labels. Use FlipMenu to update live menu availability after each stock decision.
Use the worksheet first, then publish the guest-facing result only after the manager review is complete. That keeps the digital menu useful without turning it into an unapproved operations notebook.
