Food Stocktaking

Food Stocktaking

One of the many avdantages that Food & Beverage Stocktaking have to offer, is the ability to monitor the ever changing costs of all your food items & produce an up to date report stating the old price charged & the new price being charged.
The Cost Price Changes Report has proved to be an essential part of our reporting to our clients, as they have returned to the suppliers stating that no prior notice was given & that the increase is unacceptable. In nearly all cases, prices are reduced or credit note received.

Monitoring & updating your food cost prices produces accurate reporting.

The reports are produced on the day so decisions can be made quickly. See sample below.
