Zusammenfassung:	Methods and apparatus for food expiration reporting and intelligent inventory tracking is provided. A food item inventory database is created listing at least food item name, quantity, and expiration date. It is then determined, via a computer processor associated with the food item inventory database, whether any of the food items have an expiration date falling within at least one future predetermined time period in order to identify expiring food items. An alert can then be generated at a user interface indicating that one or more of the food items have an expiration date falling within the at least one future predetermined time period. Based on this information, menu items can be adjusted, menu specials can be implemented, and intelligent inventory management can be facilitated.
