Restaurant inventory management isn’t just about knowing what’s in the freezer or behind the bar—it’s about gaining visibility, controlling food costs, and creating a system that works with the way your team operates. That’s where NxtEdge by DiningEdge comes in.

We designed NxtEdge specifically for restaurant operators who are tired of juggling spreadsheets, chasing down vendor pricing, and second-guessing their numbers. Our goal? To make restaurant inventory management simple, accurate, and integrated with the rest of your business.

Why Restaurant Inventory Management Is So Critical

In today’s restaurant landscape, margins are tighter than ever. Labor is harder to find. Prices are constantly changing. To stay profitable, you need to know exactly:

  • What you have on hand
  • What you paid for it
  • How fast it’s moving
  • What your food cost really is

Unfortunately, most restaurants don’t have a system that provides all this in one place.

That’s where NxtEdge shines.

What NxtEdge Brings to Restaurant Inventory Management

From small independent restaurants to multi-location groups, NxtEdge helps streamline every part of inventory management with tools that are:

  • Easy to use on the go
  • Designed for food and beverage operations
  • Integrated with accounting and POS systems

Here’s how NxtEdge supports better restaurant inventory management:

1. Mobile Inventory Counts Made Easy

With NxtEdge, your staff can perform counts directly on a tablet or phone—no more clipboards or manual entry. Whether you’re counting liquor bottles, fresh produce, or frozen proteins, everything updates in real time.

2. Live Food Cost Tracking

As invoices are processed and inventory is counted, your food cost data updates automatically. This gives you an up-to-the-minute view of food and beverage profitability.

3. Vendor Integration and Price Accuracy

NxtEdge integrates with your vendors’ systems via EDI, emailed price sheets, or online portals. That means you’re always working with current pricing, which eliminates surprises and ensures you’re calculating food costs accurately.

4. Customizable to Your Restaurant

Whether you use ounces, cases, or “each” as your unit of measure, NxtEdge adapts to your system. Build your product lists, set up your storage areas, and organize your categories however you like.

5. Automated Invoice Entry

NxtEdge reads your invoices—line by line, including pack size and catch weight—so you don’t have to. This reduces manual labor and speeds up month-end reporting.

Turn Chaos into Control

Restaurant inventory management doesn’t have to be stressful. NxtEdge was built to take the chaos out of the back office and give you peace of mind that your numbers are accurate and your costs are under control.

Whether you’re trying to reduce waste, improve ordering accuracy, or just save your team a few hours each week, NxtEdge makes it possible.

Designed for Restaurant Operators by Restaurant Operators

We understand the demands of restaurant life—because we’ve lived it. NxtEdge isn’t some generic software. It was designed by people who’ve worked in kitchens, walked the floor, and closed out inventory at 2am. That’s why it works the way you do.

Managing inventory shouldn’t mean giving up your nights and weekends. With NxtEdge, you’ll spend less time chasing numbers and more time focusing on what you love—creating great food and unforgettable guest experiences.
