MenuLink Client Overview In MenuLink Client there are two major systems: Inventory and Labor. In Inventory, you can track your sales, inventory, purchases and other expenses, and ultimately identify your food cost. Inventory also collects data from your POS system to provide you a theoretical usage and food cost. There are several variance reports that compare the theoretical information to your actual usage and food cost, and identify the items that have the greatest variances. Other reports that are in Inventory provide you with sales information, purchases, as well as a Profit and Loss. Labor is used to track your employees’ hire information (including addresses, phone numbers, hire dates and other information), track and maintain time clock information for payroll accuracy, as well as scheduling and availability. There is also a Staffing function where you can set up your staffing matrices to assist you in the scheduling process. The reports that are available in Labor provide you with up-to-the-minute information including labor costs and percentages, schedules, as well as detailed time clock data.
