Administration
- The following screen displays the main JUMPWARE functions that an
authorized user can access from
any POS station or the back-office computer.
Each button in the yellow section (lower right) leads to a set of
useful features that greatly facilitate inventory
management, payables, and recipe creation (menu explosion). Note
that you have the flexibility to choose
which items you want to enter in the JUMPWARE Inventory application and
which you don't. This allows you to make your inventory management
as general or as detailed as you'd like and change it over time.

If
you use the included JUMPWARE Vendors (Purchasing)
application, JUMPWARE will automatically update your inventory as new
items are delivered by your suppliers. But we don't stop here! JUMPWARE
ties inventory items to recipes and recipes to menu items, and keeps track
of the desired items from purchase to sale. What does this mean to
you?
Below
are example Inventory & Recipe Management screens:
Inventory
Items -
The
"Create Simple Recipe" button allows you to turn an inventory
item into a recipe and link it to a menu item very quickly. Simple
recipes are useful when you want to track expensive inventory items (e.g.
steaks or wines) but not bother with tracking others (e.g. sugar or
ketchup). In other words, JUMPWARE gives you the option to make use
of the inventory management application very quickly right away and make
your recipes more detailed over time.

Update
Inventory Status - At your command, JUMPWARE will generate a report
showing you what should be the current status of your inventory. You have
the option to sort, view, and print this information by category,
location, and par level. The report gives you an easy way to compare
calculated vs. physical inventory as often as you'd like, and react to any
significant variances or related trends. Finally, you can use this screen
to add or delete inventory items or modify inventory categories (e.g.
produce, beers, etc.).

Edit
Recipe Categories - The screen below allows you to easily and quickly add,
delete or modify recipe categories.

Recipe
Costing - Using the screen below, you can enter new recipes or modify
existing ones and tie each recipe to one or more menu items. Additionally,
you can create sub-recipes that can be included conveniently in your other
recipes. The target percentage cost allows you to compare your cost
vs. price of each menu item on the "Review Menu Pricing" screen
(see "POS" web page). You then
have the option to make any adjustments and ensure the desired profit
margin.

Select
Recipe - This screen allows you to quickly select, view, and modify an
existing recipe, verify its links, or even enter a new recipe.

View
Inventory Links - On this screen, JUMPWARE ties inventory items, recipes,
and menu items together and gives you the whole picture. You can
view this information in two ways: (1) menu item to inventory item and (2)
inventory item to menu item. Here, JUMPWARE also lists inventory items
that have been entered but not linked to menu items.

JUMPWARE
is an all-in-one package that combines point-of-sale (POS) and back-office
(restaurant management) functions into one comprehensive but easy-to-use
and affordable system. We invite you to view other JUMPWARE Back
