Licensed trade stocktaking

Stocktaking in any modern licensed premises can be highly demanding, both physically and mentally. The bigger pub companies run more complex businesses than the tenanted trade, but both require regular stocktakes so that they can pinpoint any problems before they start affecting the business’s cash flow.

Our team of specially trained stocktakers usually categorise products into groups, providing statistical analysis of these. Therefore, a sound, wide-ranging product knowledge is a major advantage when entering the world of licensed trade stocktaking.

Imagine a stocktaker who has no idea of the workings and operations of a pub or restaurant trying to identify the numerous products – if they do not know that rioja is a Spanish wine or that Funky Monkeys are vodka shots, for instance, they’ll be in trouble.

After the licensed trade stocktake, we can discuss with you procedures that you can put in place to stop or minimise any future problems. The report we produce is easy to navigate, and you will gain many valuable points of information, for example GP on every stock item, stock holding of each product line and waste margins etc. When carrying out a stocktake, we do expect the client to provide all the necessary paperwork, as this will assist us in producing an accurate stock list and profit and loss figures.

Food stocktake / inventory

In your sector, producing good and possibly homemade food is very popular these days, so making a good profit is essential. In our food stocktakes, Countability UK will show you where you can improve your profitability and where your biggest wastage areas are.

This information will improve the profitability of your kitchen, but only work if we work with and have the full backing of the proprietor and the chef, whom we will see together and at a time that suits both. The food count can either be done while the chef is in attendance or our stocktakers can count alone.

We provide our stocktaking services throughout the United Kingdom and Europe. You can rest assured that our team of experienced stocktakers will work quickly and efficiently to minimise disruption in your workplace.
