If you're running a restaurant, café, or retail store in the Philippines, you already know how important it is to manage your inventory. But what many business owners don’t realize is that inventory management isn’t just about controlling costs—it’s a powerful way to increase sales.

With rising prices and unpredictable customer demand, knowing what’s in stock (and what’s not) can be the difference between a missed opportunity and a growing business.

That’s where a smart POS system like Orderna makes all the difference.

The Connection Between Inventory and Sales

Poor inventory management leads to stockouts, overstocking, and wasted products—each of which directly affects your sales.

• If you don’t have enough of your bestsellers, you lose potential income.

• If you overstock items that don’t move, your capital is tied up.

• If your ingredients spoil before being used, your cost of goods sold (COGS) rises—hurting your margins.

But with a system that gives you real-time inventory visibility, you can stay ahead of these challenges and use your stock to drive more sales.

How Orderna’s Inventory Management Tools Help You Sell More

1. Real-Time Stock Monitoring

Know exactly what’s on your shelves or in your kitchen, at any given moment. With Orderna, your inventory is updated automatically with every sale—so you never run out of what customers want most.

2. Data-Driven Reordering

See which items are moving fast and which ones aren’t. Orderna helps you reorder smartly, avoid dead stock, and keep your bestsellers available—especially during peak seasons or promotions.

3. Inventory-Based Promotions

Planning a clearance sale or product bundle? With accurate inventory reports, you can create promo bundles that help move slow-moving items while boosting revenue.

Example: Pair a high-demand milk tea with less popular pastries to drive cross-selling.

4. Better Supplier Management

By tracking order patterns and stock usage, you’ll know when and how much to reorder. Orderna helps you negotiate better supplier deals, manage delivery schedules, and avoid missed sales due to late restocks.

5. Reduced Waste = More Profit

For F&B businesses, inventory waste can quietly eat away at your earnings. Orderna tracks ingredient usage per dish and alerts you to over-portioning or spoilage—helping you control food costs and retain profit margins.
