What this section is
Kitchen stock (kitchen inventory) is the F&B raw-material ledger for the outlet — basmati, oil, chicken, garnish. Issue stock to dinner service; do not confuse it with Operations → Supplies (quick) HK toiletries. Deeper multi-store Inventory may exist separately for large properties.
In the owner dashboard
Open Kitchen inventory under Listing / Property after you claim a stay. Same vocabulary as Help Academy.

Do this
Step-by-step
-
Open Kitchen stock
Food & beverage → Kitchen & bar → Kitchen stock. Review on-hand key ingredients.
India example: Basmati on-hand 12 kg. -
Issue for service
Issue quantities to the kitchen/shift with a note. On-hand should fall. Receive/replenish via your purchase process when low.
India example: Issue 5 kg basmati for dinner service. -
Investigate shortages
If counts diverge, check Wastage, unlogged issues, or theft — adjust only with a reason.
India example: Short 2 kg tomatoes → wastage log vs missing issue.
Tips
Issue before peak, not during ticket panic. · Keep HK Supplies and kitchen food stock in separate minds/processes.
Common mistakes
Taking store room stock with no issue entry — food cost reports become fiction.
