Questions hospitality teams ask us

Can't find an answer? Message us on WhatsApp from the Support page.

I already have a POS system that tracks inventory. Why would I need KwikShelfie?

A POS records sales, but the stock used in a hospitality venue is also affected by deliveries, waste, portioning, staff meals and count differences. KwikShelfie brings those physical stock movements together so you can compare what should be left with what is actually on the shelf.

I already use inventory management software. Is KwikShelfie still useful?

It may be. KwikShelfie is designed for quick, phone-first counts, receiving, waste, supplier orders and honest recipe costing. Tell us what you already use and we can help you assess whether KwikShelfie fills a gap without replacing a system that works for you.

How can I connect my current POS system with KwikShelfie?

You can upload a sales spreadsheet today. Direct connection options depend on your POS, account and venue setup. Send us your details and we'll confirm the safest available method without promising a connection that has not been verified.

What do I gain by connecting my POS with KwikShelfie?

POS sales can be matched to dishes or stock items, then compared with recipes, deliveries, waste and physical counts. This helps expose differences, improve ordering and show where follow-up is needed. Results still depend on accurate mappings, units and recipe information.

How does onboarding work?

Create your venue account, then choose a starter list (Café, Restaurant, Bar, Catering, Childcare Kitchen, School Canteen or Sporting Club Kiosk), upload a spreadsheet, start from scratch, or ask us to help.

What setup options are there?

Self setup is free, with starter lists and guided onboarding. Assisted Setup is $149 once-off: remote setup anywhere, including configuration, import help and a walkthrough — or, as a launch offer, up to 60 minutes onsite for eligible venues within 5 km of the Melbourne CBD, subject to availability. Extended Onsite Setup starts from $249 for other locations, larger inventories or extra training (travel may apply). Multi-venue setup is quoted. Premium yearly includes one complimentary Assisted Setup.

How long is the free pilot?

30 days with Pro features and 150 AI credits for the entire pilot. Day 30 is the final pilot day. If you don't choose a plan, Days 31–33 are a grace period, then Day 34 brings view-only access. Your data is kept.

What are AI credits?

AI credits cover smart scans & voice counts. A voice count, shelf photo, label or supplier read uses 1 credit; an invoice or docket scan uses 2. Unreadable scans and retries of the same photo don't use extra credits. Barcode and manual counting are always unlimited. Need more AI credits? Contact us.

Do you have group or multi-venue pricing?

Each plan covers 1 venue. Running more than one? Talk to us about group pricing.

Is KwikShelfie only for cafés and restaurants?

No. It works for any venue that buys stock and counts shelves: school canteens, childcare centre kitchens, sporting club kiosks and bars, juice and bubble tea bars, delis and caterers. Each venue type gets a starter list matched to what it actually stocks.

Can you upload my spreadsheet for me?

Yes. Send us your item or supplier list (CSV or Excel) from the Help page and we'll import it. You can also upload it yourself under Stock.

Do I need new hardware?

No. KwikShelfie runs in the browser on any modern phone, tablet or laptop. Camera and microphone are used only when you choose Snap or Voice.

Does it send orders to my suppliers?

Email orders can be sent from the app and are only marked Sent once accepted. SMS and WhatsApp open your phone's app with the order ready — you tap Send yourself.

Does the photo count replace checking?

No. Photo and voice counts are a starting point. You review every line before stock changes, and you can undo a save for 5 minutes.

Does it work with Square or Lightspeed?

You can upload till sales as a spreadsheet today. Direct connection depends on your till account; contact us and we'll confirm what's available for your venue.

What if my prices aren't set up yet?

That's fine. Items without prices still count and order; totals are clearly marked incomplete instead of guessing.

Is my venue's data private?

Yes. Each venue's stock, orders and prices are only visible to that venue's team.
