Bar Stock Control Best Practices

The same handful of practices show up at every well-run bar. Here they are.

Tight product library

If your product list is messy, every report downstream is messy. Tidy it before you tighten anything else.

Consistent counting

Same person, same routine, same method. AI counting helps lock this in.

Recipe discipline

Cocktails should be poured the same way every time. Audit recipes quarterly.

Active variance review

Look at the report every cycle. Investigate anything above your threshold.
