StockLens / Stock & margin management

Pub Stock Control Software

StockLens is pub stock control software for the weeks between counts. A stocktake tells you where you are on one morning; stock control tells you what happened in between — what you bought, what you sold, what it cost you and where it went.

Purchases: review the cost behind each line

Upload a supplier invoice as a PDF or photograph it. StockLens reads the lines, matches them to your products and puts the new cost prices in front of you to approve. Approved lines update cost price, so GP reflects what you are actually paying rather than what you paid last spring.

Check deliveries before they become a stock difference

Photograph the delivery note and confirm the good stock actually received, separately from damaged or rejected items. Link the invoice to compare billed quantities with accepted goods. You can record a phone or supplier-portal order without creating a StockLens purchase order first.

Supplier price creep, made visible

Review recorded supplier price changes against the source invoice. Check pack size and cost basis first, then use complete recipe costs to assess the effect on your menu margins.

Draught variance per line

Count casks and kegs using their actual capacity and remaining-volume or fill estimates. Compare depletion against draught sales and see which line is losing product, rather than accepting a single cellar-wide figure.

Cellar to bar transfers

Move stock from cellar to bar as a transfer. Both areas stay accurate and nothing is counted twice.

Gas, empties and the awkward items

CO2 and mixed gas cylinders, empties held for deposit and anything else you need to reconcile can be held as products with their own counts.

  • This page is about control between counts — invoices, sales and variance. The stocktaking page is about running the count itself.
