What TruLens for Food is
TruLens for Food is web-based inventory management software for food businesses, combining ingredient stock control, recipe costing, purchasing, sales matching and HACCP-ready records. It tracks stock in real time, including lots, shelf life and expiry, and can alert teams when stock reaches par levels. Recipes use a bill of materials and FIFO costing to calculate cost per unit and per dish. Days of cover and par levels across a 14-day window help inform purchase orders sent to suppliers. The platform names Toast, SumUp, Square, ePOS, Uber Eats, Deliveroo and Shopify as integrations and describes automatic sales matching. Teams can record waste by reason, track spoilage and trace batches to their source. The wholesale offering is described for producers, manufacturers, distributors, bakeries, delis and businesses combining wholesale with retail. Retail Starter costs £99 a month, billed monthly, for one site and unlimited users. There is no free plan, but a free trial is available; pricing starts at £99/mo. The company says a named account manager assists with setup, data connection and team training.
