Inventory - Store stock used by kitchen

SSRoost — Sun, 25 May 2025 15:25:29 GMT

Hello all!

We have been using Square since October. We have a store where we sell produce and a kitchen where we make food. If the kitchen needs something they will take it from the store. As you can imagine, this has made inventory a bit of a headache. We are hoping to go online with the store but need to sort this out first.

Does anyone else have this issue? Any suggestions or ideas? We can do "damage" or "loss", or put the kitchen as a customer?

Thank you for your ideas!

Hi @SSRoost, I appreciate your post. Welcome to the Square Community!

This is a great question. I am going to tag a couple Square Champions and see if they have any insight on this. @TheRealChipA or @Candlestore, do you have any experience with this or any ideas that could be helpful?

@SSRoost When I worked for a restaurant that did this, we just have the kitchen as a customer. Then we had a 100% discount code for those "sales" to the kitchen.
