What is PAR

PAR is the lever most operators don't know they have.

PAR is the number you count against — how many units of each item should be on the shelf Monday morning. Get it right and the order writes itself. Get it wrong and it costs you.

Too high

You ordered more than you sold. Oat milk sours, dough ages, cream cheese hits date. It gets thrown out — times 30+ SKUs, every week.

Too low

You run out. 86 the item, lose the ticket. Next time, the customer goes somewhere else.

Getting it right

The math is daily usage × days of coverage, plus a buffer. Five minutes per item. The problem is doing that for 40 items, every 4–6 weeks, against 60 days of fresh POS data.

Spreadsheets handle the math. They don't re-run it after a menu change or a slow week.

FAQ
Does it work with Square, Clover, or other POS systems?

Not yet. Toast only. If you're on another POS and want to be next, fill out the Request Invite form — we're prioritizing by volume of ask.

How does it compute PAR?

It pulls your daily sales from Toast for the trailing 60 days, maps menu items to your inventory items, and computes a per-item PAR using sales averages, day-of-week patterns, shelf life, and lead time. Every PAR comes with a written explanation.

Do I have to count every day?

No. Par Inventory is built around weekly counts. Count when you place your order — once a week for most operators.

What does it cost?

$100 / month per store.

Who is this for?

Single-location QSR managers and small multi-unit operators who currently order by gut. First customer: a bagel shop. If you run a bakery, coffee shop, or QSR with a stable menu, it'll fit.

Is my sales data safe?

It lives in our database (Neon Postgres on Vercel) and is only accessed by your account. We don't share it with anyone and we don't sell data.
