MANAGING INVENTORY
Managing inventory (how much of each item to stock) is crucial
to ensure the smooth running of the business. It prevents
stockouts, saves storage space, and avoids over-ordering
leading to spoilage and waste.
Bar managers will need to consider some of the following to
make informed decisions about inventory levels:
• Shelf life & storage conditions
• Delivery lead time
• Popularity of item
• Business forecast
• Volume discounts
Plan ahead with any purchase and examine usage and stock
to make sure you are ordering the correct items and right
quantities.
