Stock is the largest cost to the business, so it makes sense to keep track of it.

​

Regular stocktakes are a vital service to the licensed trade sector and can be carried out efficiently, and quickly with minimum disruption to trade.

​

The goal of a stocktake is to help you achieve the maximum return possible on your goods. This is achieved by using up-to-date cost and selling prices.

​

The stock reports produced at the end of the stocktake can highlight issues such as stock losses or overstocks. By using purchase notes (in the form of delivery notes, invoices, credit notes and statements), transfer notes and takings receipts, a full detailed analysis of your business can be obtained and the aim then, is to see where savings can be made in order to increase your profit margin.

​

What we need from you on the day:

• Purchase notes in the form of invoices, delivery notes, credit notes or statements

• Goods received book, to match the deliveries to

• Transfer notes

• Takings (till receipts and daily takings book)

• Allowance book showing pipe cleaning, waste, promotions, breakages, goods written off

​

• Full fridges with products lined up (makes counting easier)

• All storage cupboards unlocked so we have access

• Make sure nothing is hidden away i.e cash and carry in the boot of the car

• Make yourself available incase we have any queries

• ​

What we provide in return:

• Quick and efficient stocktake. Depending on the size of the establishment, a stocktake can be carried out within an hour or two.

• Valuation reports

• Full detailed reports showing surplus or deficits

• Competitive prices

​

Remember, a messy bar area makes a stocktaker's job more difficult and can increase the risk of counting errors, resulting in an inaccurate stock report. It also increases the time we spend there, which can incur extra charges.
