Storages and stock on hand
In FireMenu, a storage is a stock location for ingredients (kitchen storeroom, bar back, central warehouse, and so on). Each location tracks quantities and money value; figures feed supply, inventory, write-offs, transfers between storages, and reports. The section is available on the Pro plan and depends on permissions.
Why several storages
- Separate flows — e.g. kitchen vs bar vs central stock.
- See inventory value per location and overall.
- Monitor minimum stock when minimums are set on the product.
How to open it
Under the Products menu group, open Storages. If the item is missing, check Pro and your user’s rights to storages.
Storage list
Each active storage shows its name, how many items have non-zero stock, approximate stock value, and History to jump to movements for that storage. Tapping the row opens the balances screen with that storage selected.
The header includes Residues in all storages, which opens balances in aggregated mode across all storages.
Add or edit a storage
- Use the add control to create a storage; only a name is required.
- From the row ⋮ menu or the edit screen you can rename the storage.
- Remove actually deactivates the storage: it disappears from the list and is no longer used for stock, while historical records stay.
Row menu (⋮)
Depending on rights and how many storages exist:
| Action | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Inventory | Start or continue inventory for this storage. If a draft exists, a badge appears next to the name (tappable). |
| Write off products | Go to ingredient write-offs from this storage. |
| Move products | Transfer stock to another storage; only when there are two or more active storages. |
| Edit storage | Rename or deactivate. |
Balances screen
At the top are tabs: All storages plus one tab per storage. All storages aggregates balances by ingredient across locations; a single-storage tab shows only that location.
The table lists ingredients with quantities and value; negative balances are highlighted; below minimum (from product settings) is called out. On a single storage tab, history for a line is available from that row.
If there is no stock yet, the empty state suggests creating a supply or running inventory so movements exist.
On the All storages tab, when catalog products are below their minimum stock and your user may create supplies, a Create supply button appears above the table. Use it to pick a supplier (grouped by the supplier field on the product); the app opens supply with prefilled lines and quantities. Without create supplies permission the control stays disabled with a tooltip.
Access
Permissions control who sees the storage list, who can edit storages, who runs inventory and write-offs, who may create supplies (the Create supply action on aggregated balances), and who can use the Supply area in general. The Supply menu entry follows the same base pattern as storages — without storage access, supply is usually hidden too.
