Kelola vs Other Cashier Apps
Other cashier apps answer how much was sold. Kelola answers how much is left, how much was wasted, when to restock, and what the net profit actually is.
Every sale deducts ingredients, not just cash
In most POS apps, 40 cups of latte end their life as a sales figure. In Kelola every cup is tied to a recipe, so those 40 cups deduct 720 grams of beans and 4 litres of milk from stock, and record a cost of Rp3,240 per cup. That per-serving cost is what financial reports call COGS, or HPP in Indonesian.
Cost follows ingredient prices upward
Every ingredient purchase is recorded with its price, and ingredient cost is recalculated using a weighted average. The moment a supplier raises the price of beans, the COGS of every menu item using them is recalculated the same day, not at closing.
The numbers that usually surface only at month end
Food cost per menu item, real remaining stock, ingredients that have hit their reorder point, and net profit after expenses. All from the same cashier transactions, with no separate spreadsheet.
Cost control is not a top-tier feature
In many apps, recipes and financial reports only unlock on the highest plan or are sold as a separate module. In Kelola, recipes, COGS, ingredient stock, and profit and loss are there from the cheapest plan.
