A prep list is the morning per-station per-SKU production quantity sheet, traditionally produced by the head chef from gut feel. LOOP generates the prep list automatically each night by combining tomorrow's forecast with current stock and yield-loss, then sends it to the head chef's Zalo at 5am. Cuts prep waste 20–35%.
In multi-outlet restaurant and F&B operations, prep list 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 prep list 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.
