Counts, orders, deliveries, schedules and payroll hours for your restaurant, on one live system that runs on the tablet already behind your counter.
The demo opens the real app on a sample restaurant. No account needed.
Recorded in the app, on the demo restaurant.
Today that day lives in notebooks, clipboard photos, and a payroll book someone deciphers every two weeks, and every location does it a little differently. MerchLogs runs the same day the same way everywhere, with nothing copied twice.
The schedule is already set. As people arrive they punch in on the board, and their hours start counting.
Type in what is on hand, with recent quantities suggested as you go. The walk-in has no signal and it does not matter. Export the order as a PDF and send it up.
Check each line against what you ordered. Shortages, substitutions and damage get noted on the spot.
Breaks came off on their own, forgotten punch-outs get flagged, and the hours land in the pay-period totals.
Every count, order and delivery check is a record. Reports read them back by item, by delivery and across every location, over the last 14 to 90 days or all time.
How often it ran out, what was ordered, how much arrived in full and the lead time, with a chart of stock on hand and orders over time. The items that ran out most come first.
Which lines arrived short, which are still waiting to be checked and how old the oldest is, and a fill rate per item, worst first.
Every location’s latest count on one page: items down the side, a column per site. Out of stock shows red, and it works offline.
Four places in MerchLogs use a language model. Each one proposes, summarises or answers. A person confirms every change, and every answer links to where it came from.
Tap the round ? at the top of the screen. Answers come from the built-in guide and from your own records: this week’s schedule for George, how many bananas were ordered last week, whether Lily is free on Friday. Each answer lists the topic or record it read, and it sees only what you can already see.
Paste what staff told you, like “Maria can only do Tuesday mornings, Dev is off the 22nd to the 25th.” The app proposes the availability and time-off changes, shows before and after beside your words, and saves nothing until you tick what you want.
A draft week with many warnings, or a pay period with many punch issues, gets one plain sentence with the details one tap away. The sentence only repeats what the app recorded, and the full list is always there.
Send the MerchLogs team a photo or screenshot of your stock list. It is read into categories and items, checked by a person and loaded, so day one starts with your list rather than a blank one.
These four need a connection. Counting, punching and scheduling do not.
A count submitted, a delivery confirmed, a week published or changed, a call-in, a missed punch in or out. Each one is a push notification, an email, or part of one daily or weekly summary, and each switches off on its own.
App documentation explains every screen, with a search that works offline and short clips of the app doing the steps. What’s new lists every change since the first release.
Every punch, correction, shift and staff change is recorded with who made it and when. Entries in the activity log can never be edited or removed.
Staff and admins request an item or category from the item list. The MerchLogs team approves or denies it, or an admin of yours they have given item management, and the answer shows on the same screen.
A tablet by the kitchen signed in as the device runs the punch board and the posted schedule. The same app runs on iPhone and Android, and in a browser, where it installs with its own window for the office computer.
Two tablets can work the same count or the same punch board at once, and each sees the other’s changes when it is online. Pending changes shows exactly what is still waiting to send.
Priced per location, per month. Start with what you need and add the other anytime, with no add-ons and no tiers.
Counts, orders and deliveries, one live sheet.
The schedule, the punch clock, and the week drafted for you.
