inventory

why is inventory so important? in my last blog, i discussed the important concept of controlling theft. well this is one of the best ways to control the theft i was discusssing. conducting inventory on a weekly or biweekly basis helps people conceptualize how liable they are for what they pour. yes some things are going to be lost and some things are going to be given away on special occcasions. the key is that if you compare inventory on the consecutive basis to the liquor sales of the week or two weeks, you will have a good idea of what is being stolen, not stolen, etc. if inventory is done properly, you can track down more specificly what liquors need to be watched. necessary terminations could follow if people do not understand how inventory an be tracked down to individuals and their shifts. but generally once inventory is done and done properly at that, it becomes a huge asset to any bar. bartenders become more liable and watch their own drinking behind that bar as well as how often they over poour for guests, give out free drinks etc.
