Hospitality Inventory KPIs Every Operator Should Track
Five KPIs that, together, tell you whether your stock operation is healthy.
Stock variance % (by category)
Variance per category in percent and pounds. Spot patterns across products, shifts and sites.
Gross profit %
Per product, per category, per venue. The most-watched number, but only useful when it is current.
Stock days on hand
How many days of trade your current stock covers. Too high ties up cash; too low risks outages.
Count accuracy
When counts are re-verified, how close were the originals? Tracks counter discipline.
Shrinkage value
Absolute pounds lost to unexplained variance, tracked over time.
