Inventory counting
Counting inventory is essential to knowing how your business is performing.
Conducting physical inventory can help you identify discrepancies between your expected and actual ingredient usage. It can alert you to issues such as food waste, theft, or accounting discrepancies. Resolving these issues typically leads to saving costs.
