Kitchen loss control

Find the money leaking out of your kitchen.

Your POS shows what you sold. MiseKit shows what you lost — to over-trimming, shrink and write-offs — and names the exact items doing the damage.

What you’d see on Monday morning

The blind spot

Your books balance. Your kitchen still leaks.

Most kitchens only see loss once it’s baked into the month-end number. By then you can’t tell a bad cut from a spoiled box. MiseKit catches it the day it happens.

Invisible shrink

Over-trimming and prep loss never reach a report. A few grams a batch is thousands a year.

Untracked write-offs

Spoilage and binned product walk out the back door with no paper trail.

No per-item view

You feel the margin slipping but can’t name the dish, the station, or the shift.

How it works

Three steps to a number you can act on

No integrations, no hardware. Set a target, weigh a batch, read the leak.

Set yield norms

Tell MiseKit the usable yield you expect per item — beef short rib at 72%, say. One line each.

Log a weighing

Raw in, usable out. Type it in seconds on any phone — or snap a prep sheet and let AI read it.

See the leak, ranked

Every Monday: one loss number, split by variance and write-offs, ranked down to the item.

Built for the line

Everything points at one question

How much is leaking this week, and where.

Weekly loss dashboard

One headline number with an 8-week trend, so you know instantly if this week is better or worse.

Where-it-leaks ranking

Losses sorted biggest-first by item, station or reason — with the week-on-week delta beside each.

Yield norms & tolerances

Set a target and a tolerance; MiseKit flags the batch the moment a cut slips below it.

Log or scan

Hand-key a weighing or photograph a paper prep sheet — MiseKit turns both into clean data.

AI insight

A plain-language read on where this week’s money went, written for a busy chef, not an analyst.

Loss trends & export

12-week history, weekly averages and a one-click CSV for whoever does the books.

Less guesswork, more margin

Stop guessing where your margin goes.

Set up MiseKit in a couple of minutes and see your first weekly loss number before the next delivery.
