Advanced Inventory & Supplier Management

A complete inventory and supplier management system, fully integrated with Karenderia Multi Restaurant System and POS.

The goal is to improve the existing Inventory Management and Suppliers features, allowing restaurant owners to efficiently manage stock levels, ingredients, purchases, suppliers, and inventory costs directly from the main admin and merchant panels.

The system should automatically track inventory movements based on restaurant orders, purchases, and stock adjustments, reducing manual work and improving inventory accuracy.
