The first episode of the Mathematics of the Kitchen program with Simpra Inventory, which explains how restaurant owners and managers can optimize their kitchen expenses, has been released.

Simpra Solution Manager and Sales Development Specialist Engin AbatThe guest of the first episode of the Kitchen Mathematics series, presented by Dardenia IT & Cost Management Consultant Ünsal Şahinoğlu The program discussed the benefits of cost control for restaurants and the stories of businesses that managed to save money on their kitchen expenses with this method.

Stating that cost is very important in the Food and Beverage sector, Dardenia IT & Cost Management Consultant Ünsal Şahinoğlu“A company that operates in this sector without knowing its costs is like a ship sailing on the ocean without a compass, so to speak. These people are eliminated from the sector after a while. I saw this and I also realized that the number of people trained in the sector was low, so I founded Cost Analysis six years ago. The biggest difficulty of cost management is actually this; everyone in the sector has some knowledge on this subject, right or wrong. We all cook at home, but none of us are chefs. In other words, we cannot cook in a restaurant. Cost control is also a profession, it contains some data within itself. The program you use is also very important. I have seen a program that calculated VAT incorrectly in the invoice entry. When you proceed with the right program and the right employee, you get the right result,” he says.

The Most Reliable Program in the Industry: Simpra Inventory

Speaking about Simpra Inventory's position in the industry, Unsal Sahinoglu“A stock cost program should be reliable first and foremost. I was receiving training for a program, it calculated the VAT incorrectly when entering the invoice. What do you expect from a program that enters the VAT incorrectly at this stage? Therefore, it should be reliable. It should also be able to serve every action of stock cost management. For example, the business uses carcass meat. It should have a carcass module here. Or there is production in a central structure. It should be able to manage this production, production planning and what is produced. However, for example, the feature I like the most about Simpra Inventory is that it is cloud-based. In other words, we are not connected to any server or device. Sometimes you don't even need to have a laptop with you to work. You can enter the link from any computer, enter your password, open it and manage all your work. A location-independent program, great.”

What is Simpra Inventory?
