Billiard Hall Inventory — Bar, Cue Rentals, Chalk & Consumables
Cues break, chalk vanishes, table cloths wear. LOOP tracks every consumable and predicts re-order at 12–20% MAPE — no more 'we're out of blue chalk on Saturday night.'
How LOOP handles it
Bar drinks use recipe-level BOM (same engine as F&B). Rental cues are unique-serial SKUs with a rental ledger. Chalk / tips / cloth are per-unit consumables auto-decrementing on service events.
The specific pains here
#1Rental cues get lost — you don't notice until inventory day.
How LOOP solves it: Per-cue check-out/check-in with the player's Zalo signature and deposit ledger.
#2Chalk runs out mid-Saturday-night — bad look, real revenue loss.
How LOOP solves it: AI Consumables Forecast triggers re-order alerts 5 days before expected stock-out.
#3Table cloths replaced 'when they look worn' — inconsistent.
How LOOP solves it: Cloth ledger tracks table-hours since last change; auto-flag at 400h.
#4Bar F&B and table hardware inventory live in different worlds.
How LOOP solves it: One unified inventory with per-SKU class rules (recipe / serial / consumable).
