What it is

Fourth Inventory is a web and API platform for restaurant procurement, supply-chain management, and inventory operations. It consolidates suppliers, supports supplier engagement, and enables direct ordering with predictive purchasing. Automatic stock tracking follows depletion to ingredient level across menus, while the mobile app updates central inventory records in real time. Recipe and menu engineering include ingredient costing, nutritional values, portion sizes, and plating guidance. Production and prep tools use demand forecasts and digital instructions to manage preparation and track waste. POS integrations update stock information and show on-hand inventory; listed partners include Aloha, Toast, Simphony, Revel, PAR POS, and Lightspeed U Series. APIs cover inventory, recipe and menu engineering, menu cycles, and POS gateway integrations. The purchase-to-pay and inventory solution comes in four editions with different control levels. It supports multi-location operations, purchase orders, transfers, labor and payroll tools, compliance, allergen tracking, and nutrition information. Pricing is on request.
