Free restaurant and cafe inventory templates
Four spreadsheets we would use ourselves: a count sheet, a par sheet, a recipe costing workbook and an inventory spreadsheet. Download them for Excel or Google Sheets, or print them. Every template is filled with example data so you can see how it works, and none of it asks for your email.
- Inventory count sheetA walk-order count sheet for a cafe or a restaurant, with blank count boxes. Print it or open it in a spreadsheet.
- Par sheetPar, order quantity and cases to order from daily usage, delivery gaps and safety stock, with the formulas built in.
- Recipe costing templateIngredients, recipes and a modifier swap tab that roll up to cost per drink and the price that hits your target.
- Inventory spreadsheetItems, counts and usage in three tabs: opening plus purchases minus closing, priced out for the period.
Templates, tools or the app
Templates are files you keep and edit. The free calculators do the same math in your browser, with nothing to download. A spreadsheet is a fine place to start, and our comparison with spreadsheets is straight about where it stops working. Coffee shop? See how ShelfCount fits a cafe.
When the spreadsheet starts costing you more time than it saves, ShelfCount does the counting, costing and ordering from your counts, invoices and sales for a flat monthly price.
