FoodNotify App for iOS and Android

With the FoodNotify app, you handle your inventory management where the work happens: in the storeroom, in the kitchen and at the goods receipt. The app and the browser work with the same data – whatever you record in the app also shows up in FoodNotify in your browser.

Install the app and log in

Download the app for free: from the App Store for iPhone and iPad or from Google Play for Android.
Log in with the same email address and password you use in the browser.

Everyone works with their own user. You decide in the browser what each person can see and do in the app: How do I create users?

Tip: Always use the latest version of the app. You can see your version at the very bottom of the menu. If automatic updates are turned off, check the App Store or Google Play for an update.

Dashboard and menu

After you log in, the Dashboard opens. At the top, you see how many carts are currently active, in draft or faulty. Below, tiles take you straight to Stocktaking, Smart Lists, Products, Orders, Suppliers and Food Waste – with details such as the number of incoming orders.

Tap the icon at the top left to open the menu. The location you are working in is shown at the very top. Below it, you find every area of the app.

What you can do in the app

Carts, Lists, Smart Lists and Suppliers – add products to the cart, use order suggestions and send orders: How do I order with the FoodNotify app?
Orders – check deliveries, correct differences and import the goods into your stock: How do I import a delivery with the FoodNotify app?
Stocktaking – create stocktakings, count storage by storage, review and sign: How do I do a stocktaking with the FoodNotify app?
Products – check stock levels and find products that are low on stock: How do I check stock levels in the app?
Food Waste – record wasted products and recipes with a reason: How do I record food waste in the app?
Recipes – ingredients, preparation, portion calculator and the kitchen display with a timer: How do I use recipes and the kitchen display in the app?
Scanner – scan barcodes with your camera.

Further down in the menu, you find Bug report, My account, Settings, About us, Imprint and Log out.

Switch location

If you work for several locations or cost centers, you switch directly in the app:

Open the menu and tap the name of the location at the very top.
Under All locations, you see every location you have access to. Use the search to find the right one quickly.
Tap the location. The check mark shows where you are currently working.

Tap the star to pin your most important locations as favorites.

Important: Carts, lists, suppliers, orders and stocktakings always apply to the selected location. If a supplier is missing, it may not be enabled for this location: How do I enable or block a supplier for individual locations?

Dark mode, language and time zone

Under Menu › Settings, you adjust the app to suit you:

Mode – Light, Dark or Automatic. Automatic follows the setting of your device. Dark mode is easy on the eyes in dark storerooms and in the evening.
Language – English, Deutsch or Français. The app switches immediately.
Time Zone – the app sets the time zone automatically, for example Europe/Vienna. You can choose a different one if needed.

Scan barcodes

With the Scanner in the menu or with Scan in carts and lists, you scan a product’s barcode (EAN) with your device’s camera. This is the quickest way to find a product.

If the scan finds nothing, your supplier usually hasn’t sent an EAN code for this product to FoodNotify. Ask your supplier for the barcodes and copy support@foodnotify.com. Until then, find the product with the search.

Push notifications

The app can send you push notifications. Whether you receive them is set in your device settings.

Report a bug

Something isn’t working as expected? Tap Bug report in the menu and send us a report straight from the app – or write to support@foodnotify.com. Ideas for new features are welcome too.
