Variance/shrinkage is perhaps the most underrated, but costly problem in our industry. Too many operators simply ignore the issue or worse yet believe that they don't have anyhing to worry about.

Let's be clear on one thing: if you run a bar or restaurant YOU DO HAVE AN ISSUE WITH YOUR INVENTORY. There is not a bar on the planet that is not affected by this variance/shrinkage.

The question is: How much is the variance eroding profits each month?

Here is the good news- there is a direct correlation between the decrease in variance and the increase in profits. Gaining control over your inventory is simple IF you have the right tools, proper frequency and the right resources handling the job for you. Leave out one of these factors and you are simply throwing good money at bad.

Creating reliable reporting is only the first step. Knowing what to do with the information is where the difference is made. If you are monitoring your inventory internally or if you have an outsourced supplier using a dated system, do yourself a favor - have Barmetrix run you a set of reports over 7 days to understand what your business is truly capable of.

From there you decide the next steps- no contracts, no strings!
