A practical count for busy hospitality operations.

Practical stocktaking for bars, kitchens, cellars, storerooms and hospitality operations.

The approach

Bring each stock area into the same plan.

Hospitality stock is spread across service points and storage areas, often with different pack sizes and units of measure. IH Stocktakers helps define what is included across bars, kitchens, cellars and storerooms, with timing planned around the way the site operates.

01

Bars & service points

Agree the products and service areas included in the count.

02

Kitchens & storerooms

Identify food, drink and other included stock, including reserve and overflow storage.

03

Cellars & beverage storage

Define the counting units and treatment of different containers or part-used stock before work starts.

Before the visit

Prepare for a well-organised count.

Please keep your stock as organised as possible before our visit, grouping similar items and keeping access clear where practical. If your site has any constraints, let us know so we can plan around them.

  • List all areas where included stock is held.
  • Confirm pack sizes and the method for part-used products.
  • Discuss service hours, deliveries and any restricted-access areas.
Your questions

Do you count opened bottles or part-used stock?

The treatment of part-used stock must be agreed during scoping, including the appropriate units and method for the products involved.

Can you work around service times?
