If one walk-in supplies more than one menu

Know what to 86 before the order comes in.

One walk-in feeds all your brands. When a shared ingredient runs low, we tell you exactly which items — across every brand you run — just became a risk. Not tomorrow in a report. At the moment it happens.

GhostKitchen OS is real-time, ingredient-level inventory and menu-availability software for kitchens that run more than one virtual brand out of the same walk-in.

One ingredient. Two brands. Caught before a customer ordered it.

Your POS knows you have mozzarella.
It doesn't know what that means.

Friday · 6:40 PM

There are 340 grams of mozzarella left in the walk-in. Three menu items use it, spread across two brands.

Your inventory system counted on Monday. Your invoice tool knows what you paid. Neither one is going to tell you that the next Cheese Pizza order is one you'll have to cancel — or that the Veggie Wrap on your other brand went down with it.

So you find out the way everyone finds out: the ticket prints, someone walks to the walk-in, and the order gets cancelled. That costs more than the ticket. Uber Eats requires virtual brands to hold a 4.3-star rating and to keep merchant-cancelled orders at or below 5%, and a cancellation moves both numbers the wrong way at once.Source

340 grams. Three recipes. Two brands.

This is the arithmetic your kitchen is doing in someone's head right now, wrong, at the worst possible moment.

Nobody in the kitchen is running that in their head at 6:40 on a Friday. So the third order gets accepted, printed, started, and cancelled.

Three steps, then it runs on its own.

01

Map your recipes once

Every item, every ingredient, down to the gram. Shared ingredients get mapped once and linked to every brand that uses them.

02

Stock moves, both ways

You set the opening count once. Orders take stock down as they land. Deliveries put it back. Waste and spot counts adjust it. Every movement is a line you can audit — the number on screen is never a guess.

03

Items go down together

The moment one ingredient can't cover a recipe, that item drops — on every brand that uses it. You see it on the display before a customer sees it in the app.

The cancelled ticket is the cheap part.

We're not going to quote you an industry study. Use your own numbers — you know them better than any benchmark does.

Cancelled tickets per month17
Revenue that walked out$442
Per year $5,304

And that's only the tickets. It doesn't count the refund handling, the staff time, or the one that compounds: Uber Eats requires virtual brands to hold a 4.3-star rating and to keep merchant-cancelled orders at or below 5%, and cancellations are the fastest way to miss both. Losing the listing doesn't cost you an order — it costs you the brand.Source

GhostKitchen OS is $1,548 a year. You can do the rest of that math yourself, which is rather the point.

Inventory software counts. This one deducts.

We're not replacing your inventory or costing tool. We do the one thing they don't: connect a falling ingredient to the menu items it takes down, across brands, in real time.

Every other tool in this category makes you book a demo to find out what it costs. We think that's a tell.

What we deliberately don't do.

A short product does one thing properly. Here's what we left out, and why — so you can decide now instead of finding out on a Friday.

  • We don't connect to Uber Eats or DoorDash directly. You already pay an aggregator to do that, and doing it twice buys you nothing. We read from Otter, Deliverect, Chowly, or a CSV — whatever is already carrying your orders.
  • We don't replace your inventory or accounting software. Counting and costing are solved. Knowing what you can still sell right now isn't. We do that part.
  • There's no mobile app. The display runs in any tablet browser — one less thing to install and update on a screen bolted to a wall.
  • We don't have logos to show you. You'd be among the first kitchens on it. We'd rather say that than borrow credibility we haven't earned.

If you needed the whole back office in one system, that's a different product and we'd tell you so.

Questions people ask before signing up.

Short answers, including the ones where the answer is no.

What is GhostKitchen OS?

GhostKitchen OS is real-time, ingredient-level inventory and menu-availability software for kitchens that run more than one virtual brand out of the same walk-in. It deducts stock on every incoming order and 86s the menu items an ingredient supports — across every brand that uses it — the moment the remaining quantity can no longer cover a recipe.

Who is it for?

Kitchens that produce more than one menu out of one stock room: ghost kitchens, virtual restaurant operators, multi-brand delivery kitchens, and restaurant groups running several delivery-only brands off a single production line. If one walk-in supplies exactly one menu, you don't need this.

What does it mean to 86 an item?

In American restaurant kitchens, to 86 an item is to pull it off the menu because it can no longer be made — usually because an ingredient ran out. GhostKitchen OS works out which items have to be 86'd from ingredient quantities, before an order for one of them is accepted.

Does it replace my inventory or accounting software?

No, and it isn't meant to. Counting stock and costing invoices are solved problems. Knowing what you can still sell right now is not. We do that part, alongside the tools you already have.

Does it integrate with Otter, Deliverect, or Chowly?

Yes. We read orders from Otter, Deliverect, Chowly, or a CSV export — whatever already carries orders into your kitchen. Each source has its own adapter and lands on the same canonical order webhook.

Does it connect directly to Uber Eats or DoorDash?

No, deliberately. You already pay an aggregator to hold those connections, and holding them twice buys you nothing. We read the order stream your aggregator already produces.

How does it handle an ingredient shared by several brands?

A shared ingredient is mapped once and linked to every recipe that uses it, on every brand. When an order deducts that ingredient, availability is recalculated for all of those recipes in the same database transaction — so a pizza order on one brand can 86 a wrap on another before the next ticket lands.

How does it decide when to 86 a menu item?

It compares the quantity left on hand against the quantity each recipe needs, ingredient by ingredient, in decimal arithmetic rather than floating point. The moment any single ingredient can no longer cover a recipe, that menu item goes down on every brand that sells it.

Is there a mobile app?

No. The display runs in any tablet browser, which is one less thing to install and update on a screen bolted to a wall.

How much does it cost?

$129 per month, per kitchen. Every brand you run is included, orders are unlimited, and the display works on as many screens as you want. No per-order fee, no setup fee, no annual contract, and no demo to sit through.

How long does setup take?

You can create a kitchen, map one recipe with a shared ingredient, and send a test order before dinner service ends. Mapping a full menu down to the gram takes longer, but nothing else has to wait for it.
