why OptiStock Solutions?

Years of hotel stock take and profit protection data have shown our business consultants that hotel businesses operate some of the most challenging sites in the whole of hospitality. The ever shifting clientele, 24-hour operations and attached risks and liabilities make this sector an exciting but difficult place to manage stock control and finances.

 To run a smooth and profitable restaurant operation, it is vital to draw on key operational data like stock take results. No matter the type or scope of restaurant – fast food, casual dining, fine dining, independent, multi-site, chain, franchised – it will be a success if you monitor stocktaking and auditing data. Remember that our business consultants are here to help.

Bar stocktaking and auditing activities are crucial to running a profitable drinks business. Many wet-led and liquor focused businesses in the licensed trade, deal with unnecessary daily losses from their bars because their margins, pouring practices, stock controls and financial controls are not optimised. 

 The pub industry in all its variety continues to profit from performance boosting practices like stocktaking and auditing. No matter the type of business, whether food-led or wet-led, local or national, pub chain or independent, managed or tenanted, public house, free house, gastro-pub, country pub, theme pub, roadhouse, beer house or inn, they all need stock control. 

 The production and selling process of beer, wine and other alcoholic drinks by brewery, winery and distillery operators can hugely benefit from specialist liquor stock takes. Managing the inventory, revenue and stock analysis of any size brewhouse, wine company, or other drinks production business, is simply vital for optimising profits. 

 With the fast paced grab-and-go nature of coffee shops and other fast casual dining cafés, effective food and drink controls demand regular stock takes and audits. Understanding the unique challenges of this sector, we provide support at branch level with practical stocktaking, compliance auditing and consultancy support, and then report our findings direct to management. 

 Indoor and outdoor leisure and entertainment sites increasingly recognise that regular stocktaking and auditing underpins higher business profits. Yet many leisure operators do not have the internal stock control knowledge to improve profits for their food and drink, merchandise and equipment sales and hire stock. 

 Golf club stocktaking helps grow profit potential of your food and drink operation and any other stock you sell. Many golf club operators lose out on profit from secondary revenue streams because they overlook the benefits of stocktaking. Clubhouse restaurants, bars, event halls and pro golf shops in particular, are common under-performing revenue areas for golf clubs. 

 Night-time entertainment operators like nightclubs, casinos and comedy clubs can increase profitability, revenue and safety with regular stock takes and audits. Live auditing of your bars and clubs during trading hours in particular, is a great way to unearth operational and financial gaps which are leading to losses. 

 Run your events more profitably with the help of live stocktaking, yearly inventory checks and operational advice from our event consultants. See a higher return on investment from the food and drink stock you buy, monitor stock movements and staff actions, reduce food and drink wastage, and manage losses through improved inventory control. Our stocktakers and consultants cover it all. 

 Theatre companies frequently miss out on essential profits from their drink stock and bar operations because they forgo basic controls like stocktaking and auditing. Although drink sales tend to be seen as a secondary and less vital source of income, theatre companies could reap significant profits from regular stocktaking and auditing activities, which also happen to offer a direct return on investment. 

 Real time stock take and audit services during stadium events can completely transform the profits that are generated. These controls can help management teams deal with the complex challenges and risks associated with temporary workforce's, high sales volumes and limited service times. Accounting for stock, observing outlets and auditing every bar and food service point, ensures your event achieves optimal profits.
