Recipe-level inventory deduction

Recipe-level inventory deduction is a POS architecture where selling a dish automatically deducts every raw ingredient using the dish's recipe — including multi-level sub-recipes (e.g. "house sauce" used across 7 menu items) and yield-loss factors (the 12% of beef lost when butchering). It turns daily food-cost variance from a mystery into a diagnostic. On LOOP, the typical chain moves from ±8% to ±2% variance within 90 days.

In Vietnam 2026, AI is a buying requirement, not a bonus: anomaly detection catches food-cost variance within 48 hours, demand forecasting cuts prep waste 20–35%, and voice commands in Vietnamese replace dashboards. LOOP is the only Vietnamese-built F&B POS shipping these as defaults.
