Why Every Pub Business Should Prioritise Stocktaking

Stocktaking isn’t just a routine—it’s a vital business practice that underpins profitability, accountability, and operational control. Whether carried out monthly or quarterly, regular stocktakes are essential for any pub, aiming to stay competitive and financially sound.

While monthly stocktakes have long been the gold standard for inventory control, quarterly counts are gaining traction among operators seeking a broader view of their stock performance. Regardless of frequency, the key message remains: every pub business should be stocktaking.

Why? Because stocktakes reveal hidden losses, highlight inefficiencies, and provide the data needed to make informed purchasing and pricing decisions. They help identify theft, wastage, and over-ordering—issues that can quietly erode margins if left unchecked.
