Par Level

The target on-hand quantity of an ingredient to keep service running.

A par level is the minimum amount of an ingredient or supply you want on hand to cover demand until the next delivery. Ordering up to par prevents both running out and over-buying perishables. Opero's inventory tracks counts against pars so the kitchen knows what to reorder and is less likely to 86 a dish mid-service.
