Odeko order
ReadyBuilt from this morning's count and what you actually used.
Your supplier order, built from this morning's count.
Modifier accuracy
A latte is not one recipe.
Oat or whole. Iced or hot. Extra shot. Every modifier changes what leaves your shelves, and most inventory tools lose the thread the moment a drink gets customized. Parly maps every Square modifier to real ingredients, so your usage numbers match what your team actually poured.
- Oat milk instead of whole? Parly deducts oat milk, not whole.
- Iced instead of hot? The cup, the lid, and the recipe all change.
- Extra shot? The beans come out of your count too.
From your Square sales
47 x Iced Matcha Latteoat milk
- matcha94 g
- oat milk564 oz
- cups, lids, and straws47
Swap the milk, add a shot, or make it hot and the deductions change with it. No thousand-variation recipe setup.
The switch
From three tabs and a guess to one count and an order.
You already do the count. Parly turns it into the order you would have spent the afternoon piecing together.
Why I built it
I did not set out to build software. I set out to get my mornings back.
I built Parly behind the bar at my own NYC specialty coffee cafe, because counting 60 items three times a week on a Google Sheet was eating our mornings. Six months in, our manager runs every count, usually from his phone, and his last two timed counts both came in under 10 minutes.

- 60 items
- Counted Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, from a phone instead of a sheet.
- 26 straight
- Counts our manager has run himself these past three months. Not one was mine.

Stop digging through reports. Just ask.
Because Parly already knows what you used, you can ask it anything, in plain English, straight from your Square data. Sales, inventory, labor, forecasts. No report building, no spreadsheets, no guesswork.
- Answers grounded in your real numbers, not generic AI guesses.
- Ask about sales, inventory, labor, costs, pastries, or forecasts in plain English.
- Read-only and private. It reports; it never changes your data or places orders.
Included on Pro and Business plans.
