In 2025, venues face real challenges and clear chances to improve. What if your supply chain could work for you instead of causing constant stress?

For restaurants, cafes, and bars, smooth operations mean better results. Yet managing supplies remains tough. Rising costs, unreliable suppliers, and tricky stock control can lead to lost sales, wasted stock, and poor customer service.

The good news is there is a better way. The Zeemart and Abacus POS integration gives you clear stock data, better control, and useful insights.

• Get Clear Stock Information

Managing stock is hard. Liven Abacus POS sends usage data in real time, so you always track your inventory. When you use it with Zeemart, all your supply data comes together in one view. This helps you avoid ordering too much or too little.

• Replenish Stock in a Single Click

Liven Zeemart makes reordering easy. It uses past sales to dynamically set par levels (only available on the Retail module). When stock runs low, the system highlights those items for you to create POs.

Tip: Check past sales to set reorder levels. Keep extra stock for busy items and strict limits for perishables.

• Simplify Working with Suppliers

Many venues work with several suppliers. Zeemart brings all orders, deliveries, and prices into one system. This makes it easier to compare deals and keep your stock steady.

Tip: Set aside time each week to review orders, prices, and supplier performance.

• Use Data to Negotiate with Suppliers

Zeemart gives you clear sales and stock numbers. Use this data to ask for volume discounts or better terms.

Tip: Have backup suppliers ready. This prevents last-minute rushes and extra costs.

• Make Smart Menu Choices

When costs rise, every dish must pay its way. Zeemart shows which items earn the most. Abacus POS lets you adjust prices or run special deals when needed.

Tip: Stick to a core menu of steady sellers. Add specials that use seasonal ingredients and manage stock carefully.

• Reduce Waste with Better Forecasting

Food waste cuts into profits. The data from these systems helps you forecast better and order the right amounts.

Tip: Track waste by weight and reason, then review it weekly to spot trends.

• Get Useful Business Data

Zeemart breaks down costs clearly. Abacus POS tracks sales and seasonal changes. Together, they offer a quick look at how your business is doing. Abacus Pocket BI even shows dish and ingredient performance instantly.

Tip: Check a daily report for sales, labor costs, COGS, and best or worst sellers. This helps you fix problems fast.

• Plan Ahead with Data

The system can use past and current data to predict busy times or supply delays. This lets you plan ahead and avoid surprises.

Tip: Set alerts for key numbers, like when food cost goes above 32% or when top items sell less than expected.

• Bring Your Systems Together

Setting up Liven Zeemart and Abacus POS is simple. They sync data from inventory, sales, and suppliers into one system. Regular checks on the data help you fine-tune your operations.

Tip: Hold quarterly tech reviews to make sure you are using all the features available.

• Add More Tools as Needed

Liven’s ecosystem can grow with your business. The basic Zeemart and Abacus POS setup can work with extra tools like Liven Kiosks for faster ordering or Liven Loyalty to keep customers coming back.

Tip: Train your team on new tools. Pick a few as tech experts to help others.
