TL;DR

FIFO rotation — First-in first-out stock rotation discipline.

Why it matters

For F&B operators in Vietnam, this concept maps directly to either revenue protection or cost control. Misunderstanding it is the most common reason a POS configuration creates manual reconciliation work for years instead of paying back in 90 days.

How to measure it

Most modern POS systems surface this as a daily KPI on the manager dashboard. The benchmark to beat depends on your segment — coffee, hotpot, QSR all have different thresholds. LOOP auto-calibrates against your segment's 2026 median (see benchmark posts).

How LOOP implements it

LOOP ships this as a default capability on Growth and Business plans. Configuration is one-time and surfaces in the AI assistant, the manager mobile app and the nightly P&L summary. Variance flags fire automatically when actuals diverge from theoretical by >3% on a closed period.
