Multi-Location Inventory Dashboard Builder for Restaurants

The owner asked this:«I have two locations. Norte bought beef loin last week and Centro let the loin it had expire. Each one counts its storeroom whenever it can.»

① The pairs per location, and the crossings that call for a transfer

The pairs come from EACH location's sales — copying the big location's fills one storeroom and empties the other.

ItemLocationStockMinimumMaximumStatus
Beef loinCentro4 kg12 kg30 kg🔴 below minimum
Beef loinNorte38 kg10 kg26 kg🟠 above maximum
MozzarellaCentro18 kg8 kg24 kg🟢 in range
MozzarellaNorte6 kg9 kg22 kg🔴 below minimum

The network verdict: two crossings call for a transfer, not a purchase. Loin is over at Norte (12 kg above its maximum) and short at Centro — moving it costs the trip, buying it again costs the whole loin.

SUPUESTO: the safety stock level is taken from the lead time each supplier actually meets in THIS network today, not from a textbook figure. If the supplier took twice as long, the minimums rise and some crossings stop being transfers and go back to being purchases.

② Merma compared, location against location

The network average said «normal merma». The average was exactly what hid the location that is losing.

Vegetableslowthree times Centro$310,000Receiving with no pallet rotationCentro's storeroom order, first in first out

Storeroom merma and porcionamiento merma are counted separately: the first is fixed with order, the second with the receta estándar. An owner and a 30 días deadline for each practice that travels.

A note printed on the board itself: figures from different days are not compared, they are discarded. Tuesday stock against Friday stock talks the house into shortfalls that do not exist.
