Introduction
Ideal stock days are the length of time you want to have items in stock before needing to place an order. Ideal stock days are important because they’re used to calculate WISK Par.
WISK Par recommends the amount of each item you should order to have enough stock to last the ideal stock days, based on the rate of consumption from your previous 6 weeks of data. Learn more:
You can set ideal stock days at both the venue, or distributor level.
When suggesting the amount to order, it will go by the venue level unless it has been specified for the distributor.
For Beverage-focused accounts (WISK Bar), your ideal stock days are set to 14 days by default for the venue and all distributors.
For Food-focused accounts (WISK Restaurant), your ideal stock days are set to 7 days by default for the venue and all distributors.
Viewing & Setting Ideal Stock Days
Venue Level
To view or set your ideal stock days at the venue level, you must access the Venue Settings.
To access the Venue Settings, either:
Place your cursor over your username on the bottom-left corner and click “Venue Settings”
From the “Prepare Orders” page, click the pencil icon beside “Ideal stock days” on the top-left corner
In the Venue Settings window, click into the “Ideal stock days” field and change the value
The WISK Par values for all of your items recalculate based on the new ideal stock days (this may take a few moments)
Distributor Level
When ideal stock days are set at a distributor level, it takes priority over the venue level.
To view or set your ideal stock days at the distributor level:
Click “Items” > “Distributors”
Place your cursor over the distributor and click the “...” under the Details column
Click into the “Ideal stock days” field and enter the new value
The updated “Ideal stock days” have been set for the distributor, and the WISK par recalculates accordingly
