Iron Scale System

Iron Scale System – Smart Weighing System for Restaurants

Full Control of Weighing, Inventory, and Waste — Right from the Kitchen

Iron Scale System is an integrated weighing and inventory management solution designed for precise control of ingredients in your kitchen or counter. It connects directly to Iron POS to minimize errors, optimize stock control, and give you full visibility over your food costs. No more manual counts or spreadsheets — this is real-time automation that tracks what comes in, what goes out, and what’s left at any given moment.

Typical results: 10–15% reduction in waste, major time savings on stock counts, and complete control over food cost accuracy.

Why Invest in a Smart Weighing System?

Common Challenges

Inventory gaps: “Where did those kilos of ingredients go?”
Manual counts: Time-consuming and often inaccurate.
Stockouts during service: Running out of items at peak hours.
Waste and expiration: Ingredients not used in time.
Inaccurate food cost: Discrepancy between expected and actual cost.

The Solution: Iron Scale System

Automated tracking: Every weighing is logged automatically.
POS integration: Each sale deducts ingredients from stock based on digital recipes.
Real-time dashboard: Live view of inventory, shortages, and alerts.
Smart waste reports: Compare theoretical vs. actual usage and detect anomalies.
Automated alerts: Low-stock notifications, expiration tracking, and unusual patterns.

How the System Saves You Money

Reduce Waste and Shrinkage

The system builds digital recipes for every dish — with precise ingredient quantities. Every sale automatically reduces inventory according to the recipe. At the end of each day or week, you can compare theoretical vs. actual consumption, identify where waste occurs (oversized portions, poor storage, mistakes, or theft), and take corrective action. On average, this reduces waste by 10–15% — directly improving profit margins.

Control Food Cost

See both theoretical food cost (recipe-based) and actual food cost (based on real weighings and supplier prices). Identify unprofitable dishes, adjust recipes or pricing, and optimize profitability in real time.

Save Time on Stock Counting

With real-time weighing and automated tracking, you can cut up to 80% of monthly inventory counting time. Periodic audits are still possible, but day-to-day work becomes fast, accurate, and effortless.
