Live from one shared supply closet
Scan. Stock. Solved.
Anyone at home can see when the pantry, closet, or laundry room is running low. They scan the RestockGenie label beside the item and confirm what to buy on their phone. The item goes to one shared shopping list so the next shopper knows what the home needs.

The scanner in your pocket
No special scanner. No app download.
Each person signs in on their phone and uses RestockGenie in the browser. Saving it to the Home Screen is optional; no app download or special scanner is needed.
-
Preview before anything changesThe phone shows the item and action. Nothing changes until the person taps Confirm.
-
Simple request or exact countA shelf can request a restock or update an exact amount. Both feed the same order list.
-
Repeated scans stay safeConfirming the same scan twice returns the first result instead of changing stock twice.
What if someone confirms the same scan twice?
Repeated scans stay safe. RestockGenie returns the first result instead of changing stock twice.
Tracking options
Keep it simple, or count exactly where it helps.
Use simple restock requests for most shelves. Turn on exact counts only in the rooms where the amount on hand matters.
| What it does | Request onlyNo running count to maintain | Exact countsKeep the amount on hand |
|---|---|---|
| Add a low item to the shared order list | Yes | Yes |
| Show the exact amount on the shelf | Not needed | Yes |
| Flag an item at a chosen low-stock level | Not needed | Yes |
| What staff do | Scan when something runs low | Scan when supplies come in or are used |
-
Best for simple restocking
Request only
Scan when something runs low. It joins the shared order list, with no running count to maintain.
-
Best when amounts matter
Exact counts
Scan when supplies come in or are used. RestockGenie shows the amount on hand and flags a chosen low-stock level.
One list, three states
The buyer sees one clear list.
Requests from every room arrive together. The buyer marks an item Ordered, then Received when it arrives, so everyone can see what still needs attention.

Getting started
Four steps to get your first shelf working.
-
Add a few supplies
Type them in or import a Google Sheet.
-
Set up pantries and closets
Create the pantries, closets, cabinets, and utility areas where household basics live.
-
Choose simple requests or exact counts
Use simple requests by default. Turn on counts only where they help.
-
Print and place the labels
Print on plain paper or a label sheet. Put one reusable label on the shelf or bin, not on every package.
Start with one shelf
Never run out of the basics again.
Start with one shelf and a few supplies. Print on plain paper or a label sheet, then add more only when the workflow feels useful.
