QSR Consumable Analytics

Every packet
costs
more than you think.

PennyStack tracks condiment and consumable usage across every location in your chain — and tells you exactly where the waste is happening before it becomes a budget line item.

The Problem

Invisible waste,
very visible costs.

QSR chains spend millions on consumables that never reach a customer. The problem isn't ordering — it's the absence of visibility between the loading dock and the drive-through window.

01

No store-level benchmarks

Inventory systems track what comes in, not what's actually used per transaction. Outlier stores go undetected for months.

02

Manual audits don't scale

Ops teams can't physically monitor 50, 200, or 500 locations. By the time waste patterns surface in a P&L, the damage is done.

03

No early-warning system

Condiment overuse spikes often signal a training gap, a supply issue, or a policy violation — none of which show up in today's alerts.

Where consumable costs leak — typical QSR chain
Sauce packets & condiments 34%
Napkins & paper goods 28%
Utensils & cutlery 21%
Cups, lids & straws 17%
Overuse typically runs 15–40% above optimal par levels in unmonitored locations. PennyStack closes this gap automatically.
How It Works

From data to action
in three steps.

PennyStack sits on top of your existing inventory and POS data — no hardware, no new workflows for store teams.

1

Connect your inventory & POS data

We map your existing consumable purchase orders, delivery records, and transaction counts into a unified usage model. No changes to how your stores operate — we work with what you already have.

Integrates with Altametrics, BlueCart & more
2

We establish chain-wide benchmarks

PennyStack calculates usage-per-transaction par levels for every consumable category — broken down by daypart, location type, and season. Every store is benchmarked against its peers, not a corporate guess.

Updated daily. Fully automated.
3

Outliers get flagged instantly

When a store drifts above their usage threshold, the right people know immediately — district manager, ops lead, or store manager. You set the rules. PennyStack does the watching.
