Inventory, with OPPI's spatial memory

• The address

  The arborio lives on shelf three, level two.

  Walk the dry store and the coolroom once with a phone. Kepler maps the shelves, the fridges and the benches, and every item gets a place down to the level. The new kitchenhand finds the arborio without asking anyone.

• The count

  The count sheet walks the room you walk.

  Sheets are laid out place by place, in the order you move through the store, with the par and the days left on every line. Nobody flips back three pages for the tins at the back of the dry store.

• Beside the number

  The camera saw it. You count it.

  Kepler shows what the camera saw on each shelf next to the number you write down. It is a second look, not a second counter. The count stays yours.

1. 01

   Walk the venue

   Take a phone through the dry store, the coolroom and the line, and Kepler maps each room.

2. 02

   Approve the places

   Kepler proposes a shelf and a level for every item. A person approves each one.

3. 03

   Set the pars

   Give each address a par, so the sheet shows what is under and how many days are left.

4. 04

   Count in order

   The stocktake follows the walk, place by place, and the variance is waiting when you finish.

Questions.

Does Kepler count my stock for me?

No. Kepler shows what the camera saw beside your count, as a second look. The number on the sheet is the one a person counts.

What does a stock address look like?

The room, the shelf and the level. Kepler proposes one for every item from your walk, and it sticks only when a person approves it.

Do sales come off stock?

Yes. What sold through your point of sale is drawn off stock, so the next count is measured against what service used, not last week's sheet.
