In 2025, venues face rising costs, supply uncertainty, and tighter margins. Supply chain management can either create operational pressure or provide clarity and control.

For restaurants, cafés, and bars, consistent operations support stronger financial outcomes. Managing suppliers, stock levels, and cost control remains complex, often leading to over-ordering, stockouts, waste, or margin erosion.

Nomni Supply and Nomni POS integrate inventory, supplier, and sales data into a single system to improve visibility and decision-making.

• Get Clear Stock Information

Managing stock requires accurate, real-time data.

Nomni POS sends usage data in real time, allowing inventory levels to stay updated. When integrated with Nomni Supply, purchasing, deliveries, and supplier data are centralised in one view.

This reduces over-ordering and prevents understocking during peak periods.

• Replenish Stock in a Single Click

Nomni Supply simplifies reordering by using historical sales data to set dynamic par levels (available in the Retail module).

When stock drops below set levels, items are flagged for purchase order creation.

Operational tip:
Use past sales to define reorder levels. Maintain buffer stock for high-volume items and tighter limits for perishables.

• Simplify Supplier Management

Many venues operate with multiple suppliers.

Nomni Supply consolidates orders, deliveries, and pricing into one platform, making it easier to compare suppliers and monitor performance.

Operational tip:
Review supplier pricing and performance weekly to identify cost changes or delivery issues early.

• Use Data to Negotiate with Suppliers

Clear reporting on purchasing volume and usage supports better supplier negotiations.

Nomni Supply provides transparent cost and volume data that can be used to discuss pricing, terms, or bulk discounts.

Operational tip:
Maintain backup suppliers to reduce risk and avoid urgent, high-cost replacements.

• Make Informed Menu Decisions

Rising costs require tighter menu control.

Nomni Supply highlights item-level cost performance, while Nomni POS supports pricing adjustments and targeted promotions when needed.

Operational tip:
Maintain a core menu of consistent performers. Introduce seasonal specials aligned with ingredient availability and stock management.

• Reduce Waste Through Forecasting

Food waste directly impacts margins.

Integrated inventory and sales data improves demand forecasting and ordering accuracy.

Operational tip:
Track waste by weight and reason, then review trends weekly to identify recurring issues.

• Access Consolidated Business Insights

Nomni Supply provides cost breakdowns, while Nomni POS tracks revenue trends, seasonality, and performance.

Nomni POS Pocket BI offers visibility into dish and ingredient performance in real time.

Operational tip:
Review daily metrics including sales, labour costs, cost of goods sold (COGS), and top or underperforming items to address issues quickly.

• Plan Ahead Using Data Trends

Historical and live data can highlight busy periods, supplier delays, or cost fluctuations.

Setting alerts for key thresholds allows proactive action.

Operational tip:
Set alerts for food cost percentages or sudden drops in top-selling items to respond early.

• Bring Systems Together

Nomni Supply and Nomni POS synchronise inventory, sales, and supplier data into a unified system.

Regular data reviews support ongoing operational refinement.

Operational tip:
Conduct quarterly system reviews to ensure all features are being fully utilised.

• Extend as Your Business Grows

The Nomni ecosystem can expand beyond supply and POS.

Additional tools such as Nomni Kiosks and Nomni Loyalty can integrate with the same operational data to support ordering efficiency and guest retention.

Operational tip:
Train selected team members as system leads to support internal adoption and ongoing optimisation.
