The Bistro Steward Loop
Your whole back-of-house, in one closed loop
Bistro Steward connects the six things every kitchen juggles — menu, recipes, prep, inventory, shopping, and vendors — into a single living loop. Change one, and the others update themselves. No more spreadsheets that drift apart by Friday.
2
📖
Recipes
Each menu item links to a recipe with an ingredients list and yield. Scale it, sub an ingredient, update a garnish — the whole loop reflows automatically.
3
🔪
Prep
Targets + recipes become a daily prep list — how many batches of each sub-recipe to fire, sorted by what's furthest below target. Your line cook starts their shift with a checklist, not a guessing game.
4
📦
Inventory
Print a count sheet by area — walk-in, dry storage, bar, prep table — and jot quantities as you walk. Snap a photo of the filled-in sheet and AI photo-scan reads your handwriting and auto-imports every count.
5
🛒
Shopping List
Oracle compares what your menu will need against what you already have and auto-populates a shopping list with exactly what to buy — quantity, unit, and which menu item drove each line.
6
🏢
Vendors
Each ingredient is tagged to the vendor you buy it from. The shopping list auto-groups by vendor, and one click emails them the order — line items, quantities, units — straight to your contact.
1
Define your menu & prep targets
Build your menu inside Oracle, then define how much of each dish you need standing at the start of service. Brunch needs 40 empanadas; dinner needs 12 quarts of chimichurri.
2
Add a recipe for each menu item
Every dish gets an ingredient list with quantities and units. Change the recipe once and every menu, every prep sheet, every shopping list picks it up.
3
Inventory → Shopping List.
Count what's on the shelves — by area, by sub-area, even by photo-scanned sheet. Oracle does the math between need and have and hands you a clean shopping list.
Less spreadsheet, more service
The loop updates itself. Your Tuesday count changes Wednesday's shopping list — automatically.
Never 86'd mid-service again
Minimum-quantity thresholds and daily prep targets catch shortages before tickets start firing.
The math is already done
Menu targets → recipes → sub-recipes → ingredients → storage units. Oracle walks the chain so you don't have to.
Snap the sheet, skip the typing
Count on paper the way your team already does. AI photo-scan reads the filled-in sheet and imports every line automatically.
A tour of the app
All Tabs. Interconnected. In Harmony.
Ten tabs, one living loop — the same app on the laptop in your office and the phone in your apron pocket. Change a prep target in Menu, a recipe yield in Recipes, or a vendor contact in Vendors — every other tab and every other device know about it before you hit save.
