What Fourth Inventory is
Fourth Inventory brings restaurant procurement, supply-chain management, and inventory operations together on one platform. It consolidates suppliers and supports direct ordering and predictive purchasing. Stock tracking follows depletion to the ingredient level across menus, while its mobile app updates the central inventory system in real time. Recipe and menu tools provide ingredient-level costing, nutritional values, portion sizes, and plating guidelines. Production and prep tools use demand forecasts and digital guidelines to manage preparation and track waste. POS integrations update stock information and show on-hand inventory; listed partners include Aloha, Toast, Simphony, Revel, PAR POS, and Lightspeed U Series. APIs cover inventory, recipe and menu engineering, menu cycles, and POS gateway integrations. The purchase-to-pay and inventory solution comes in four editions with different levels of control and is designed for casual and fine-dining restaurant operations. Products require a device with an internet browser. Pricing is available on request.
