Restaurant best practice: count your inventory every week. Each week runs Monday → Sunday. Count inventory on Monday morning before receiving orders — weigh or count each item and multiply by unit cost. The count you enter on Monday = closing stock of the previous week (Mon–Sun that just ended). Monthly CMV is calculated automatically from these weekly entries.
Add / Update Inventory Entry

Enter your stock count and revenue for the selected period. For weekly entries, just fill in the closing stock — opening stock auto-fills from the previous entry.

Weekly count: record your closing stock every Monday. The system uses these to calculate monthly CMV.

Physical count — weigh or count each item × unit cost
Period revenue — used to calculate CMV %
