Caraf is inventory for drinks shops, built around the two questions that actually matter behind a counter: what is running out, and what should I order? COUNT WITHOUT THE CLIPBOARD Count one storage area at a time, in the order you walk it. Scan a barcode to jump straight to an item. Counting keeps working with no signal. Changes are saved on the phone and sync when you reconnect, and a bar at the top always tells you how many are still waiting, so nobody discovers at the end of a count that nothing was saving. KNOW WHAT IS LOW BEFORE IT IS OUT Set a par level for each item, the level you never want to drop below, and the stock list sorts itself by what needs attention. Out, critical, low, fine. AN ORDER SHEET THAT BUILDS ITSELF Everything under par, grouped by supplier, rounded up to your order multiple, with a rough total. Send it as a text message to the suppliers who take orders that way, or as a proper PDF purchase order for the ones who want something to file: shop name, date, contact, quantities, on hand against par, and a total. A REMINDER ON YOUR ORDER DAY Set the day you order from each supplier and get a notification that morning, with the live numbers waiting in the app. RECIPES THAT DEDUCT AS YOU SELL Tell Boba Stock what goes into each drink and connect your point of sale, and sales deduct ingredients automatically. Sixty grams of pearls per large milk tea, thirty millilitres of syrup, one cup, sold four hundred times this week and deducted from the shelf without anyone typing a number. THE NUMBER THIS IS ALL FOR Compare what your recipes say you used against what the shelf says you used. The gap is shrinkage, and it is the one figure a busy shop almost never has. BUILT TO REFUSE RATHER THAN GUESS Inventory software fails quietly: a wrong conversion produces a plausible number forever and nobody notices. Boba Stock will not guess. A drink it cannot convert is skipped and reported, an unmatched sale waits for a human, and every run tells you what it did not do. A gap shows up as a gap, not as wrong stock. A PHOTO NEXT TO EVERY NAME A stockroom is full of identical white tubs with handwritten lids, and "Syrup 2" tells a new starter nothing. Attach a picture to an item and it shows beside the name everywhere. Take one with no signal and it waits on the phone until you reconnect. LABELS FOR THINGS WITH NO BARCODE Decanted syrup, pearls out of the case, anything repacked: the items people mis-count are the ones nothing can scan. Print your own labels on ordinary sticker sheets, plain paper or a roll printer, and they scan like any other barcode. Bluetooth scanners work too, if you have one. SET UP IN ABOUT A MINUTE Create an account, name your shop, and start with a ready-made drinks-shop catalog you can edit rather than a blank list. Nothing to install, no server to run, no spreadsheet to import first. FOR THE WHOLE SHIFT Invite staff with a short code. Staff can count, scan and record waste. Managers can change the catalog, recipes and par levels. Owners handle people and the point-of-sale connection. Point-of-sale import currently supports Square and is entirely optional: everything else works without it. BOBA STOCK PRO Pro is an optional subscription, per shop, monthly or yearly. It adds staff logins and roles, Square sales deduction, Where stock went, price change tracking, and running more than one shop. Counting, par levels, the order sheet and the waste log stay free. Payment is charged to your Apple ID when you confirm the purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and renewal is charged within 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel it in your device settings, under your Apple ID. Terms of Use: https://bobastock.netlify.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://bobastock.netlify.app/privacy

BOBA STOCK IS NOW CARAF Same app, same shop, same data, and nothing to do: sign in as usual. The name changed because the app now fits coffee shops and cafes as well as bubble tea, and a name with "boba" in it told half of them it was not for them. The icon changed with it. SIGN IN WITH APPLE Sign in without another password to remember. Existing accounts are unaffected, and if you use the same email address it is the same account either way. BATCHES AND PREP Define the things you make in-house, syrups, purees, cold brew, with what goes into them. Record a batch and it draws down the ingredients and gives you a cost per batch. Free. WASTE TRACKING A single end-of-day closing pass: mark the things you make fresh, and whoever closes logs what was left. Enter a part container as a fraction, by weight, or by whole units, so half a bucket and 1600 g are the same entry. Free. WASTE TRENDS (Pro) Waste week by week, split by cause and by item, with a plain-language reading of what is driving it. It stays quiet until there are enough weeks to compare, and it says when a finding is still thin rather than dressing a guess up as a number. COST OF SALES (Pro) What your drinks cost you against what they sold for, month by month, so you can see margin moving before the quarter is over. DISCONNECTING SQUARE NOW REVOKES IT Disconnecting a Square account tells Square to drop the authorisation as well as forgetting it here, so it disappears from your connected applications in Square too, rather than only from Caraf.
