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.

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
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.
