Central kitchen transfer is the inventory event where a semi-finished or finished item moves from the CK to an outlet. Done right, the outlet receives valued stock at standard cost; done wrong (e.g. duplicate journal entries), COGS gets double-counted and margins look 8–15% better than reality. LOOP's CK module enforces transfer-at-cost with audit trail.
In multi-outlet restaurant and F&B operations, central kitchen transfer is an essential component — directly affecting service speed, order accuracy and margin. See the related terms below to understand where it fits in the broader stack.
LOOP supports central kitchen transfer natively in its POS + KDS + inventory platform for Vietnamese F&B chains — no plugin or third-party integration required. It's one reason multi-outlet operators pick LOOP as their primary operations system.
