Stockcount - Inventory that happens while you're already moving.

by
Restaurant inventory tools (MarketMan, MarginEdge, WISK) assume you'll sit down and become a data-entry clerk. Independent cafes have no ops team and no free hour. Stockcount makes data entry unstructured (talk, photograph, estimate; the AI structures it) and ambient (it fits the gaps of a shift you're already working). Count inventory by voice with your phone locked, scan invoices with a photo, get real-time COGS and variance. No count night, no spreadsheets, no 47-screen setup.

Hey Product Hunt, I'm Jeremy, the solo founder of Stockcount. I'm a software engineer, and I've also spent years on the other side of this problem: managing restaurant operations and doing the weekly inventory count myself. That meant standing in a walk-in cooler with a clipboard, then losing another 30 minutes typing it into a spreadsheet. Every week. Then the invoices, the COGS math, the variance, all by hand. I tried the existing tools. MarketMan, MarginEdge and the rest are powerful, but they're built for chains with a dedicated ops person. They ask an independent operator to sit down, become a data-entry clerk, and feed a precise system during time you simply do not have. So I built the thing I wanted back then. Stockcount makes the back-office data work two things those tools are not: - Unstructured. You talk, photograph, and estimate. The AI does the structuring, matching, and math. - Ambient. It fits into the 90-second gaps of a shift you're already working. No count night, no month-end spreadsheet session. In practice: count inventory by voice with your phone locked and headphones in, scan any vendor invoice with a photo, and see real-time COGS and variance the moment a count closes. It's live now on web and iOS, with a 14-day free trial. I'd genuinely love feedback from operators and builders here. Two questions to start: - If you've run a cafe or restaurant, which part of the back-office grind would you most want gone? - I f you've tried tools like MarketMan, what made you stick or bounce? Happy to answer anything in the thread. Thank you
