Independent restaurants, coffee shops, and cafes: owner-operators and managers
About ShelfCount
ShelfCount gives independent restaurants the inventory and COGS toolkit that usually costs $250+ a month, for a flat $50. Counts happen on whatever phone your staff already carry: open a link, count the shelf, done. No app to install, no per-seat logins. Snap a photo of an invoice and ShelfCount reads it; you approve every price change before it touches your numbers. Recipes and prep recipes recost automatically whenever an ingredient price moves, and par levels turn a finished count into a vendor-ready purchase order in one click. Connect Square or Clover (Toast in certification) and sales flow in automatically, so theoretical vs. actual COGS shows exactly where margin is leaking. Built by a restaurant owner. One plan, unlimited team members and locations, month-to-month, 14-day free trial with no credit card.
