Inventory variance report (planned)
Status: methodology published · results not yet released. We will not invent a “typical Indian restaurant variance %” to fill this page.
When live, this page will show anonymised bands (e.g. median and interquartile range of recipe variance ratios) from opted-in Growth shops — with N and period stated.
What the report will measure
Per-ingredient and per-outlet recipe variance: (theoretical from recipes × paid sales − physical after waste/counts) relative to theoretical, for shops that log receive, recipes, and waste.
- Distribution of material variance flags over a calendar month
- Top reason codes co-occurring with high variance (when waste is logged)
- QSR vs casual vs cloud kitchen splits only if each segment clears minimum N

Questions
- When will numbers appear?
- After enough opted-in restaurants and days exist to publish honest bands. Until then, this page stays methodology-only.
