Photo inventory, beta

Know what is on your shelves, and what it costs, with a photo.

Dineology estimates each product from a photo of the shelf, bin or pan. You confirm every count, so stock and costs stay under control. Photo inventory is in beta.

Why owners look for this

Counts are slow

Clipboards and spreadsheets take so long that counts happen less often.

Stock value is a guess

If you do not know what is on hand, you cannot tell what you used.

Over-ordering hides in the walk-in

Product you did not know you had gets bought again.

A count that fits a walk-through

Photograph as you go, confirm each estimate and finish with a stock value.

Calibrate once per product

Photos of full, half and nearly empty containers teach Dineology your containers.

Photo estimates with ranges

Each estimate shows a range and a confidence score.
