FAQ

Module questions

Does inventory require recipe automation first?

No. Teams can start with raw materials, stock levels, and movement logs, then refine recipe links as operations mature.

Can branch teams manage their own stock?

Branch-aware views can separate stock activity so owners and franchise teams review the right location context.
