Live from one shared supply closet

Scan. Stock. Solved.

When a prep station, dry storage area, walk-in, or bar runs low, staff scan the RestockGenie label beside the item. The request goes to one shared order list for the kitchen manager or owner. They can restock before the next service without chasing notes or texts.

Business examples


See how RestockGenie fits into everyday work: who uses it, where labels go, and what they keep stocked.

Example business

Maple Street Kitchen

A restaurant keeps kitchen, bar, and takeout supplies ready before each service.

Staff report shortages during the shift, and the kitchen manager gets one clear list before the next service.

Good to know: Use RestockGenie for recurring supplies and restock requests; it does not replace your POS, recipe costing, or expiry controls.

  • The kitchen manager or owner who places orders.

  • Dry storage
  • Walk-in cooler
  • Bar

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.

  1. Preview before anything changesThe phone shows the item and action. Nothing changes until the person taps Confirm.
  2. Simple request or exact countA shelf can request a restock or update an exact amount. Both feed the same order list.
  3. 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.

    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.

  1. Add a few supplies

    Type them in or import a Google Sheet.

  2. Set up kitchen storage and work areas

    Create the dry storage, walk-in, prep stations, bar, and other places where supplies are kept.

  3. Choose simple requests or exact counts

    Use simple requests by default. Turn on counts only where they help.

  4. 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


Keep every station ready for service.

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.
