Food & Beverage
Restaurants, bars, banqueting and food service companies find Nuconga Hospitality & Retail Management Software a complete answer to all their needs:
Stock Management
Profitability in any industry is based on the ability to manage inventory effectively. The food and beverage industry has the added complications of date sensitivity, portion sizing, and ingredient consumption. Nuconga’s Stock Management allows you to control this crucial function.
- Nuconga provides clear visibility with up-to-date records of stock levels.Being fully integrated, the stock figures are accurate and up-to-the-minute. You can view both physical stock and consider forecasting requirements. Consolidated purchasing can provide leverage in negotiations and improve costs on volume buying.
The link with Menu Planning improves consumable usage, while also providing forecast information. With the correct information to hand, it is easy to plan menu items to consume items with imminent expiry dates, increasing your profitability. Forward menu planning can be viewed to forecast needed components, allowing advance planning and contract negotiation.- Nuconga automatically adjusts the levels as stock is consumed and produced. With Nuconga you can have full control of the kitchen consumptions. Using simple set ups, each recipe is connected to the inventory management and automatically reduces the components that make up the recipe from the correct department. The system will also create inventory of completed recipes that have created multiple servings. For example, in the pastry department, the kitchen stock items (flour, milk, eggs) will automatically be reduced while the produced item (cake) will be installed in inventory for sale.
- Automating selected Purchase Orders provides greater efficiencies and prevention of “out-of-stock” situations.
Reservations & Order Management
User friendly touch screen terminals make all operations immediate and simple. Booking a table, opening a tab, and taking an order can all be handled with these screens. Mobile Point of Sale devices are also available and can be utilised where desired.

Menu Planning
Nuconga’s Menu Planning allows for repetitive, seasonal, and occasional menu planning for each restaurant, improving consumable usage, increasing efficiency in the supply chain, and reducing potential wastage. Forward planning also produces ingredient forecasting, allowing for a better fit and more cost effective purchasing.
Cost Control
Nuconga allows you to manage the costs of groups, properties, departments and individual items.
- When the business is comprised of multiple properties, both consolidated and individual property figures are available.
- Departmental assignment of costs and analysis are available to help you clearly assess your business efficiencies.
- Nuconga allows you to manage the costs of each single item order to have complete control of the purchase and sale costs.
Nuconga works with units of measure (UOM) as a standard procedure. Costs are based on the UOM for the item sold, as well as the UOM of the purchase. For example, a shot of whisky is sold but a bottle of whisky is purchased. Unlimited UOM’s are available so you can easily set a range of sizes. This also enables you to automatically create the debit costs according to the values set for portions and recipes, and the ability to automatically generate purchase orders when under the minimum stock.
