What we Do

Providing liquor and food stocktaking and auditing, with the benefit of hospitality consultancy services

We understand that the success of your business depends on how effectively your stock is turned into cash. Stock is a vulnerable asset – regular stocktaking allows you to see if there is a significant discrepancy between what you think you should have and what you actually have. It will identify and minimise your losses to maximise the return on investment.

Our process is geared towards ensuring we add value to your business performance and bottom line. Clients benefit from valuable advice and prompt results to enable timely remediation and action. Real-time data allows you to be proactive and responsive to the current needs of your business. The aim is to help you maintain focus and improve yields and profits as well as certify the stock value for year-end accounts.

Recommendations can include:

  • Recalculating realistic gross profit sales margins for all your item for item products for sale.
  • Stocktakes to ensure full oversight on what stock you have in your business and when it’s due to go out of date, with the frequency you require e.g. monthly, quarterly or annually.
  • Solutions to ensure you identify and avoid where stock loss might arise and help maximise profit to cash at the bank.
