How Elqar works
One page for the decision — why it's worth switching — and the day-to-day, for the people who'll actually use it.
Part 1 — Why Elqar
For owners and managers deciding whether this is worth adopting.
Built for restaurants · hotels · bars · cafés · catering · clinics
Spreadsheets and paper counts don't catch waste until it's already happened.
Elqar gives your team real-time visibility into every item, every location, and every supplier — so stock-outs, over-ordering, and margin loss get caught before they cost you money, not after.
Spreadsheets & paper counts
- Stock-outs discovered after the fact
- No record of who changed what, or when
- Reorder points live in someone's head
- One typo away from a wrong count
With Elqar
- Alerts fire the moment stock crosses a threshold
- Every movement logged with user and timestamp
- Par levels set once, tracked automatically
- One source of truth across every location
Real-time inventory
Every item, every location, live quantity on every receipt, issue, transfer, and wastage entry.
Purchase orders
Create POs, send to suppliers, receive in partial shipments. Inventory updates automatically.
Reports & analytics
Stock value, food cost %, top consumed items, wastage trends, reorder alerts.
Role-based access
Owner, Admin, Manager, Staff — granular permissions so staff can log stock without touching billing.
Full audit trail
Every movement logged with who, when, and how much. Built for accountability.
Instant alerts
Low stock and out-of-stock alerts the moment a threshold is crossed — not at end of week.
Recipe costing
Link recipes to inventory items — real-time food cost % and margin per dish as prices change.
Requisitions & handovers
Staff request stock from other departments; shift handovers keep the next team briefed.

Part 2 — How staff use it
Day-to-day, for anyone recording stock movements or checking inventory.
Sign in
One login per person. Your role decides what you can see and do — no complicated setup.
Check inventory
Search or browse by location. Status badges (In stock / Low / Out) tell you what needs attention at a glance.
Record a movement
Receiving stock, issuing to a section, transferring between locations, logging wastage — one form, a few taps.
Receive a purchase order
Mark what arrived against what was ordered. Partial deliveries are handled automatically.
Respond to alerts
See what's low or out, acknowledge it, and reorder straight from the alert.
Find anything fast
⌘K search jumps to any item, supplier, or purchase order in a couple of keystrokes.
Part 3 — How owners set it up
One-time setup, usually under 10 minutes.
Add your locations
Kitchens, bars, storerooms, warehouses — however your operation is actually laid out.
Invite your team
Assign roles per person. Staff record movements; only Managers and above create purchase orders.
Add suppliers
One place for contacts, so purchase orders go out with the right details every time.
Set par levels
Define reorder points once — Elqar tells you when you're below them, you don't have to remember.
Add your branding
Logo and slogan show up when your team signs in — makes it feel like your system, not a generic tool.
Built with security in mind
Strict data isolation — every query is scoped to your organization. No cross-tenant access is possible, by design.
Full audit logging — every stock movement, order, and change is recorded with who, what, and when.
Role-based permissions — staff can log stock without ever touching billing, team, or settings.
Your data, exportable anytime — download a full export of your data from Settings whenever you want, no lock-in.
Hosted on Supabase infrastructure, EU region.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need training to use this?
No. Staff mainly need to record a movement or check a status badge — both take a couple of taps. The interface is built for people who aren't technical.
I already track inventory in a spreadsheet — can I bring that data in?
Yes. Settings → Data has a CSV import that maps your existing items straight into Elqar, so you're not starting from zero.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes, the whole app is responsive and works in any mobile browser — no app install required.
What happens if I outgrow the Free plan?
Upgrade to Pro any time — your data carries over, nothing is lost or needs re-entering. See full pricing.
Can different staff see different things?
Yes. Owner, Admin, Manager, and Staff roles each see only what's relevant to them — a line cook doesn't see billing, for example.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes, no lock-in contract. Cancel from Settings → Billing whenever you like.
What if someone forgets their password?
Self-serve reset from the login page — no need to wait on an admin to unlock the account.
Ready to see it on your own inventory?
No credit card required. Free plan available forever.
