QSR Ghost Inventory Hunter
Identifies unaccounted inventory loss in restaurant operations by cross-referencing sales volume against theoretical recipe yields. Pinpoints whether missing product is theft, over-portioning, unrecorded waste, or prep errors. Built by a QSR GM with 16 years in restaurant operations.

Publisher notice only; this QSR skill’s operating behavior, data handling, and license are unchanged.* # QSR Ghost Inventory Hunter **v1.0.3 · McPherson AI · mcphersonai.com · San Diego, CA** You are an inventory variance investigator for a restaurant or franchise location. Your job is to find "ghost inventory" — product that disappeared from the shelf but never appeared on a sales receipt or a waste log. It was ordered, it was received, but it's gone — and nobody can account for where it went. The food cost diagnostic (skill #2) tells the operator their COGS is high. This skill tells them exactly where the product went. It's the difference between knowing you have a problem and knowing what the problem actually is. **Recommended models:** This skill involves multi-step reasoning across sales data, recipe yields, and inventory counts. Works best with capable models (Claude, GPT-4o, Gemini Pro or higher). --- ## DATA STORAGE **Memory format** — store each investigation as: ``` [DATE] | [ITEM INVESTIGATED] | [THEORETICAL USAGE: X units] | [ACTUAL USAGE: X units] | [VARIANCE: X units / $X] | [PROBABLE CAUSE: over-portion/waste/theft/prep-error] | [ACTION: text] | [FOLLOW-UP: date or "none"] ``` --- ## FIRST-RUN SETUP Ask these questions before running the first investigation: 1. **What are your top 5 highest-cost inventory items?** (usually proteins, cheese, specialty ingredients — the items where variance hurts the most) 2. **Do you have recipe cards with defined yields?** (e.g., "one case of turkey yields 80 sandwiches" — if yes, this is the foundation of the analysis. If no, help the operator build rough yields for their top items.) 3. **How often do you take inventory counts?** (weekly, biweekly, monthly — weekly is ideal for this skill) 4. **Do you track waste separately from sales?** (waste log, spoilage log, or nothing) 5. **How do you receive deliveries?** (do you verify quantities against invoices on arrival, or just sign and put it away) Confirm: > **Setup Complete** — Top it

# QSR Ghost Inventory Hunter **v1.0.3 · McPherson AI · San Diego, CA** [mcphersonai.com](https://mcphersonai.com) ## Building with AI agents? Get started with Observa Observa shows supported OpenClaw and n8n runtime activity, what governance WOULD have done in SHADOW mode, and the evidence behind it. [**Get started with Observa →**](https://mcphersonai.com/observa/getting-started?utm_source=github&utm_medium=skill-readme&utm_campaign=observa-getting-started&utm_content=qsr-ghost-inventory-hunter) *SHADOW ONLY · AUTHORITY NONE · ENFORCEMENT OFF. This publisher notice does not change the QSR skill itself.* QSR Ghost Inventory Hunter helps restaurant and franchise operators identify unaccounted inventory loss by comparing theoretical recipe usage against actual inventory movement. It is designed to answer a simple but expensive question: **If the product was ordered and received, but never sold or logged as waste, where did it go?** This skill investigates the gap between: - sales volume - recipe yields - inventory counts - deliveries received - waste tracking It helps determine whether missing product is most likely caused by: - over-portioning - unrecorded waste - prep error - receiving discrepancy - theft ## What it does This skill walks an operator through a focused inventory variance investigation for one item at a time. It: - calculates theoretical product usage from sales mix and recipe portions - calculates actual product usage from beginning inventory, deliveries, and ending inventory - identifies the variance between the two - converts the variance into estimated dollar loss - helps diagnose the most likely cause - generates a structured ghost inventory report - tracks patterns across repeat investigations ## Best use cases Use this skill when: - food cost is elevated but the cause is unclear - a high-cost item runs out faster than expected - inventory counts do not match what should be on hand - waste tracking is incomplete - receiving accuracy is in question - the operator suspects shrink or product loss ## Example investigation Example: - 400 turkey sandwiches sold - 3 oz turkey per sandwich - theoretical usage = 1,200 oz = 75 lbs Inventory movement: - starting inventory = 100 lbs - deliveries = 50 lbs - ending inventory = 60 lbs - actual usage = 90 lbs Result: - ghost inventory = 15 lbs - if turkey costs $4.20/lb, estimated unexplained loss = $63.00 That gives the operator a concrete starting point for investigation instead of a vague feeling that food cost is too high. ## Why it matters Most operators know when food cost is off. Fewer know whether the cause is: - line over-portioning - prep waste - unlogged spoilage - short deliveries - or actual theft This skill helps narrow that down with numbers. ## Works best with This skill pairs well with: - **qsr-food-cost-diagnostic** — identifies that a food cost variance exists - **qsr-weekly-pl-storyteller** — helps connect inventory loss back to the weekly f

## Description: Identifies unaccounted inventory loss in restaurant operations by cross-referencing sales volume against theoretical recipe yields. This skill is ready for commercial/non-commercial use. ## Publisher: [mcphersonai](https://clawhub.ai/user/mcphersonai) ### License/Terms of Use: Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International (CC BY-NC 4.0) ## Use Case: Restaurant and franchise operators use this skill to investigate unexplained inventory variance for one high-cost item at a time, comparing sales mix, recipe yields, inventory counts, deliveries, waste records, and cost figures to identify likely causes and next actions. ### Deployment Geography for Use: Global ## Known Risks and Mitigations: Risk: Users may share sensitive restaurant sales, inventory, delivery, waste, or cost figures with the agent. Mitigation: Use the skill only with data the operator is comfortable sharing with the selected agent and model environment. Risk: Inventory variance analysis could be misread as proof of employee misconduct. Mitigation: Treat the output as an operational diagnostic, review the underlying business records, and avoid naming or accusing individuals based only on the skill's report. ## Reference(s): - [QSR Ghost Inventory Hunter on ClawHub](https://clawhub.ai/mcphersonai/skills/qsr-ghost-inventory-hunter) - [Skill README](README.md) - [Skill Prompt](SKILL.md) - [McPherson AI](https://mcphersonai.com) ## Skill Output: **Output Type(s):** [Text, Markdown, Guidance] **Output Format:** [Markdown report and conversational diagnostic guidance] **Output Parameters:** [1D] **Other Properties Related to Output:** [Uses user-provided sales, inventory, delivery, waste, and cost figures; no external system integration is required.] ## Skill Version(s): 1.0.3 (source: frontmatter and server release evidence) ## Ethical Considerations: Users should evaluate whether this skill is appropriate for their environment, review any generated or modified files before relying on them, and apply their organization's safety, security, and compliance requirements before deployment.
