R365 operations + inventory
Inventory Data Is Only Useful If The Restaurant Can Act On It.
Counts, purchased items, recipes and purchasing data can create powerful visibility into restaurant cost. But only when the underlying information is maintained and the team follows a consistent operating rhythm.
Tempo helps connect R365's operations tools to the people and processes responsible for controlling food cost.
Point of view
Food Cost Is A System.
An inventory variance rarely begins and ends with the count sheet. Item setup, vendor relationships, units of measure, recipes, purchasing, receiving, waste, transfers and manager behavior can all influence what the restaurant sees.
Tempo looks across that system instead of treating inventory as a monthly counting exercise.
The foundation
What Has To Be Right Underneath.
Purchased items
Create and maintain a clean structure for the products the restaurant buys.
Vendor items
Connect vendor-specific products and purchasing information to the right purchased items.
Units of measure
Make sure purchasing, recipe and inventory quantities relate correctly.
Inventory counts
Build count templates and routines practical enough to be completed consistently.
Recipes
Connect ingredients and quantities to menu production with usable recipe structures.
Menu-item mapping
Support the relationship between what is sold and the operating information used for analysis.
Operating rhythm

Multi-location
Standardize Without Ignoring The Restaurant.
For growing groups, Tempo can help create common inventory and operating structures while accounting for legitimate differences between concepts and locations.
The goal is not sameness for its own sake. It is enough consistency to create useful comparison, accountability and scale.
