Odoo ERP for Food
and Beverage

Food businesses lose margin between the till and the kitchen store. We configure Odoo so consumption, cost, and traceability are recorded by the same transaction that records the sale.

  • Recipe and ingredient-level food costing
  • Batch, lot, and expiry traceability end to end
  • Central kitchen production and outlet supply
  • Wastage and yield variance recorded, not estimated
Sector challenges

What eats food margin

Dish price is set once and forgotten while ingredient cost moves every week.

Unknown Food Cost

Dish margin is estimated rather than measured against actual ingredient cost.

Unrecorded Wastage

Spoilage and preparation loss never reach the cost of sale.

Batch Recalls

Tracing an affected lot means reading paper registers.

Expiry Losses

Near-expiry stock is discovered at the shelf, not in a report.

Aggregator Chaos

Each delivery platform has its own tablet and its own manual re-entry.

Central Kitchen Guesswork

Outlet demand is forecast by phone call rather than from sales data.

Our approach

How we configure Odoo for food and beverage

Recipe & BOM Costing

Ingredient-level recipes with yield, so every dish or SKU carries a measured cost.

Batch Traceability

Forward and backward tracing from raw material lot to the customer sale.

Expiry & Shelf Life

FEFO picking, near-expiry alerts, and quarantine handling.

Central Kitchen Planning

Production planned against outlet demand, with inter-outlet transfers.

Quality & Compliance

Inspection points and records that support FSSAI and audit requirements.

Outlet & Channel Sales

Dine-in, takeaway, delivery, and retail channels on the same catalogue and stock.
