StockCount
StockCount is a multi-modal AI inventory management software designed specifically for independent restaurants. It replaces traditional manual inventory counting and data entry with a conversational interface that understands natural language commands. Users simply talk or type to the system, and the AI handles counting, invoice processing, and cost calculations. The platform reads uploaded photos of invoices and automatically extracts line items, prices, and vendor details, eliminating manual data entry. As users interact with the system, StockCount learns their specific vocabulary, units of measure, vendors, and routines. Over time, it requires less prompting and becomes more accurate, streamlining weekly inventory tasks. The software provides real-time insights into food costs, on-hand values, and par levels, enabling restaurant operators to make informed purchasing and menu decisions. Designed for ease of use, StockCount requires no training for new hires—they can start counting immediately by following simple in-app instructions. The tool is accessible via web browser, with an iOS version planned. Pricing starts at $19 per month with the flexibility to cancel anytime.
