See what your ordering week is really costing you.
Enter the time you spend ordering, counting, and matching invoices, plus what you throw out and what you run out of. We'll estimate the operating opportunity sitting in those numbers, weekly or monthly. It's an estimate, not a quote.
Inventory management
Time spent ordering, counting, and matching invoices.
What's counted
Time spent placing orders, counting inventory, and reconciling invoices, multiplied by your hourly cost and the percentage you set. Does NOT count owner/manager strategic time or kitchen-side staff.
Starts at the Ontario general minimum wage ($17.60/hour). Change it to what that time actually costs you.
Waste & stockouts
Dollars lost to spoilage and to running out of stock.
What's counted
Direct food waste (spoilage, over-prep) and lost revenue from stockouts (incidents × average item value × the percentage you set). Does NOT count brand damage from repeat stockouts.
Note: stockouts overlap somewhat with the labour bucket (hours spent firefighting them). If you want a more conservative estimate, dial one of the two down under "Fine-tune the estimate".
The annual figure covers a full year — 52.1 weeks of the weekly estimate above. Every line is rounded to the nearest dollar, so the annual figure can sit a dollar or two away from the rounded figures multiplied out. It's an estimate built from the numbers you entered and the assumptions you can change below — not a guarantee.
Enter your hours and dollars above and the estimate will fill itself in.
How this estimate works
Everything below is arithmetic on the numbers you entered:
- We start from the time and dollar figures you enter. Nothing is assumed about your business until you type it in.
- We group the result into two categories: inventory management, and waste & stockouts.
- Each category is multiplied by an adjustable percentage. Those percentages are assumptions, not promises — open "Fine-tune the estimate" to change them.
- The result is an estimate of opportunity. It does not guarantee actual savings, and it does not account for what any software costs.
BWA Horizon is early, so we have no measured customer results to publish. Treat every percentage here as a starting point to argue with, not a track record.
