How a Stocktake Works

A typical stocktake is quick, unobtrusive and completed outside trading hours if required.

Book & Brief

Contact us to arrange a date. We agree the scope, access and format of your report in advance.

2
Count & Record

We conduct a thorough physical count of all stock — bar, cellar, storage and glass wash areas.

3
Analyse & Calculate

Stock values, GP percentages and variance against your till figures are calculated and verified.

4
Report & Advise

You receive a clear PDF report the same day, with plain-English commentary and recommendations.

★★★★★

Found nearly 4% variance in our spirits within the first stocktake. Turned out to be over-pouring at the bar. That one visit more than paid for itself ten times over.

Landlord, Weymouth
★★★★★

As a committee-run club, having a proper monthly stocktake with a report for the Treasurer has transformed how we manage the bar. Clear, prompt, and exactly what we needed.

ST

Very professional service. The report is delivered the same afternoon and the commentary actually explains what the numbers mean — not just columns of figures.
