Don't opt for a 'cheap' stock take, try a compact one instead
If your hospitality business is feeling the pinch, a skinny or remote stock take could be the answer.
Budget-friendly stock takes
Most hospitality businesses will make huge efforts to find the most affordable and cheap stock takes out there. They will spend precious time completing long-winded price comparison activities for the sake of finding the bargain they are looking for. In the search for cheap stock takes, there is also a tendency to sacrifice the quality or expertise of the stocktaking supplier. The truth is, a low-cost, value or cheap stock take does not always offer the best quality and is not necessarily the most appropriate option for your business. We offer a number of alternative and cheaper stocktaking solutions that are tailored to your business’ needs and budget, without compromising the quality of your results.

Skinny stock takes
Focus solely on top-line operational data to stay in control of stock and profits. Skinny stocktakes are a stripped down version of the traditional in-depth stocktaking service. They are a fantastic and cheaper alternative for those operating within smaller budgets. Thanks to a simpler and quicker audit setup, these liquor only stocktakes include all the foundational elements of a standard stocktake, but offer a more limited level of data and analysis. Here is what is included:
Stock count
GP results
Cost price updates


Remote stock takes
Due to the continued advancement of EPoS technologies, many businesses centre their stock control management around the digital tracking of stock. Our remote stocktaking solution perfectly merges the technological data you gather internally with our expert independent insight. By allowing us to tune in to your EPoS system we can analyse and report your stocktake results remotely. Our remote stocktakes include everything a skinny stocktake offers (minus the actual stock count), plus:
Stock results
Action plans
PLU analysis
Yield analysis
GP analysis
Revenue review
