FOR COMMERCIAL KITCHENS

A smarter kitchen starts with knowing what you have.

Bring receiving, storage, prep, and your team onto the same page—before good food becomes a missed opportunity.

FROM THE RECEIVING DOCK

One product. Different deliveries. Distinct batches.

Confirm products, quantities, and dates at receiving, then assign each batch to its storage location. A new case of shrimp should never overwrite an older batch’s expiration date.

Barcode and packaging-photo workflows help with identification. Your team reviews the match and confirms the details before they become part of the inventory record.

PLAN AROUND WHAT NEEDS ATTENTION

Give good ingredients a place in the plan.

Use First priorities bring approaching-expiration inventory into prep and service conversations, helping your team decide what to review and use next.

Approaching expiration is not the same as expired. Back Provisions does not recommend expired inventory for use. Always confirm condition and follow food-safety procedures.

Built around the work of a real kitchen.

Transfers between storage locations

Record what moves between the walk-in, freezer, and prep areas. Keep the batch, quantity, and destination tied to the action.

Use and waste documentation

ONE RECORD ACROSS THE TEAM

A clearer handoff. A better-informed manager.

Employees see the work they need to complete. Managers see inventory attention, task progress, and documented outcomes across the operation.

Use the shared record to follow up on incomplete work, review waste, and identify where clearer routines could help. Role-based experiences keep each team member focused.
