Stock Audits
Stock is one of the clearest indicators of where profit is being lost in a hospitality business—but only if it’s analysed properly.
Most stocktakes tell you what the variance is.
They don’t tell you:
-
why it’s happening
-
what it’s costing you
-
or how to fix it
That’s the difference.
A profit diagnostic tool that reveals:
-
hidden margin leakage
-
operational inconsistencies
-
control weaknesses
-
gaps between expected and actual performance
Through detailed stock analysis, I identify:
-
Overpouring and yield loss behind the bar
-
Portion inconsistency in the kitchen
-
Purchasing vs usage gaps
-
Waste, spoilage, and poor stock rotation
-
Process breakdowns and lack of accountability
My background across operations, finance, and audit means I don’t just report variances. I understand what’s driving them and how to fix them in real environments.
What you get.
-
Clear understanding of where profit is being lost
-
Accurate cost of sales insight
-
Identified root causes—not just symptoms
-
Practical actions to improve margin and control
Most stocktaking services:
-
Count stock
-
Produce reports
-
Leave the rest to the operator
I don’t.
I focus on:
-
Interpreting the numbers commercially
-
Linking them to operational behaviour
-
Helping you fix the issues in practice
What happens next?
Stock analysis highlights where profit is being lost—but fixing it requires action.
Depending on what’s identified, I also support with:
-
Control & Compliance Reviews
Strengthening processes, accountability, and operational discipline
-
Profit Recovery Support
Working with your team to implement practical changes that improve performance
