The original food and beverage stocktakers
Established in 1896 as the first hospitality stocktakers in the UK, we spearheaded the now well-recognised practice of food and beverage stocktaking.
Licensed trade stock takes
Our nationwide team deliver stock takes to pubs, restaurants, hotels, bars, cafés, caterers, and other hospitality operators and licensed trade premises.
Need an F&B stock take?
Food and beverage stocktaking is one of the most complex types of stocktaking there is. An effective food and beverage stock take is completed by trained professionals who know the industry’s products inside out. They’re also made a lot simpler by specialist stocktakers who know exactly what to look out for and how to systematically and accurately count, record and analyse the collected stock data. With over 125 years experience in doing just that, our food and beverage stocktakers have supported thousands of hospitality operators in the UK with key operational data, including:
Stock results
Sales yield
Itemised variances
Gross profit
Allowances
Stockholding
“Marstons and Venners have developed a successful long-standing relationship.
