Best Stock Control & Inventory Software for UK Restaurants
The short answer: For independent UK kitchens, Jelly (from £129/month) is the strongest value — invoice scanning and live recipe costing without enterprise complexity. MarketMan is the step up for operations with multiple suppliers and sites (from ~£150/month, or £79/month as a Square add-on). Bar-led venues should look at StockTake Online or WISK for wet stock variance instead.
