The
momentohs® Food and Beverage (F&B)
module, manages the food and beverage
costing of the hospitality property
including purchase management, inventory
levels and stock valuation on a
daily basis. The inventory function
allows tracking of all inventories
and non-inventory items. Its ability
to manage a centralized warehouse
and purchasing environment for hotel
groups facilitates economies of
scale and tighter control.
This module interfaces directly
with Event Management to make catering
and banqueting seamless and streamlined
in terms of data sharing, awareness
and availability of stock. The F&B
module also interfaces with the
POS, Front Office and Financial
modules making billing and settlement
smooth and efficient. In short,
this module provides every function
required to manage purchases and
inventory levels on a daily basis
and maintain stock valuation.
Recipe Costing is a key concern
for F&B managers especially in controlling
costs and wastage. This entails
definition of the dish and beverage
by the respective chefs via ingredients
or merchandise, which is integrated
to the Inventory Management module.
Standardisation of the dish presentation
and menus are supported through
digital images stored in the system.
Menu planning for events is also
enhanced with user-defined menus
available to suit the customer requirements
and facilitate costing for proposals.
Global price and merchandise updates
allow updating of the merchandise
used or price at the click of a
button for all items affected by
the change.
momentohs® F&B module incorporates
a Purchase and Inventory management
solution, which can be deployed
either independently or as an integrated
module of momentohs®.
