Kitchen Inventory Software: What Actually Cuts Food Waste
## Three features that matter
1. **Usage tracking** against recipes, so you see actual vs theoretical use.
2. **Demand forecasting** from your sales history, so orders match likely demand.
3. **Alerts** for low stock, expiry and supplier price changes.
## How to judge
Measure your waste for a month before and after. The result, not the feature list, tells you if it works.
