Frequently Asked Questions — Restaurant & Food Service Management with TVI

How does TVI calculate true plate cost, not just estimates?

TVI achieves accurate plate costing by building recipes with yields and sub-recipes. Every time a menu item is sold, the system automatically consumes the precise quantities of its components from inventory, ensuring your COGS reflects reality. Learn more about Recipes, Food Cost & Prep and the underlying mechanics of Bundles, Recipes & Kits.

Can the POS handle complex service like split checks, table transfers, and coursing?

Yes. TVI’s POS is built for demanding restaurant environments. It manages tables, tabs, split bills by seat or item, and coursing notes seamlessly. All transactions, including tips and discounts, post instantly and correctly to the back office. See the details in our section on Front-of-House & Bar Service and explore the full capabilities in our POS Workflows Deep Dive.

How does the system prevent running out of key ingredients during a rush?

TVI connects real-time sales decrements to your inventory levels. By setting min/max thresholds and vendor lead times, the system generates smart purchase suggestions before you run low, balancing cash flow with availability. This process is covered in Integrated Inventory Control and detailed in Smart Stock Replenishment.

We have multiple locations. Can we standardize menus but still see store-level P&L?

Absolutely. TVI supports a central item and recipe master, allowing you to push updates to all locations at once. You can then run financial reports on a per-location basis or as a consolidated view. This is enabled by our Multi-Location Inventory and Multi-Company Accounting support.

How does an integrated system actually make end-of-day and month-end close faster?

Because TVI posts every sale, tip, and inventory movement to the general ledger continuously, your books are always aligned with operations. This eliminates manual data entry and lengthy reconciliations. Your close process becomes a simple verification, not a cleanup project. Learn more about our Accounting Integration and the Reconciliation & Period Close process.

How do we run promotions like Happy Hour without creating accounting headaches?

You can configure timed promotions, BOGO offers, and other discounts directly in the POS with role-based controls to prevent margin leakage. Because the POS is integrated with accounting, all discounts are applied and recorded correctly in the ledger in real time, ensuring your financial reports are always accurate. See more on POS Discounts & Promotions.

Can TVI manage a central kitchen that preps and distributes to multiple outlets?

Yes. TVI’s production and inventory features are perfect for a commissary model. You can create production runs to issue bulk ingredients, receive finished or prepped goods, and then use Multi-Location Inventory & Transfers to distribute items to your outlets with a full audit trail, keeping COGS accurate at every location.

How are tips and service charges handled to ensure they are accurate for payroll and reporting?

Tips, gratuities, and service charges are captured at the POS and mapped to the correct general ledger accounts automatically. This simplifies your daily close and ensures the data for payroll and tax reporting is clean and traceable, as explained in our Staff, Tips & Permissions overview.

What features help identify and reduce food waste and inventory shrink?

TVI reduces waste through precise recipe management and smarter purchasing. It identifies shrink through scanner-friendly Cycle Counting with variance flagging and reason-coded adjustments. Inventory Analytics then help you spot trends in waste or loss by item or location.

Can TVI integrate with third-party online ordering and delivery platforms?

Yes. While TVI remains your central system of record, it can share data with external platforms. You can use API endpoints, webhooks, or scheduled exports to sync menus, availability, and incoming orders, ensuring online sales are correctly reflected in your inventory and accounting. See our Integration Patterns & Use Cases for more information.
