Hey guys! Happy Halloween!

I didn't dress up or go out for Halloween. Or even watch any scary films. Instead I was doing a ****ing stock-take. For some reason Halloween is stock-take night for me. And each year I forget until I'm reminded the night before.

Truly worthy of the 'Things I ****ing hate' thread. Absolute tedium, daunting tedium. Fortunately it was a shared task for me so we got it wrapped up in about 3 hours. Yours sounds horrific! Were you doing it by yourself?

The hotel uses an outside company to do the stock take. It takes about 4 hours for us to count the stock and then they spend another 3/4 hours with our revenue sheets and P & L accounts etc. A GP of 75.2% wasn't too bad. I've done 30 hours so far this week with two 10 hours shifts still to go.

She actually made it herself. We have probably heard the same thing about 1000x out of people....we should open a business and sell them.

What's a "stock take"?

What's a "stock take"?

We count every last bit of stock (in my case we count beverage stock only) in the establishment and compare the stock holding to our actual monthly revenue. It gives us our GP (so we know we are hitting our GP target) and helps to identify were any gains or losses are.

A quick example: Your starting stock was 30 bottles of vodka. You count 20 bottles of vodka in a stock take. Revenue shows you have sold 9 bottles. You should have 21 bottles in the stock holding by that theory. This identifies we have lost 1 bottle. If it the revenue shows 10 bottles sold then we balance. If the revenue shows we have sold 11 bottles the we have gained 1 bottle.

Try doing that in a Mattel warehouse.

Our last stock holding was £20,000/$32,000 based on 40 days sales. I'd imagine a Mattel warehouse is alot more.

It's what we call taking inventory.

Gottcha. I hear "stock" and I think

 

[a-dev]

Well, I hope you've taken stock of our meaning.

Wait.. what!? That wouldn't mean you "gained" a bottle, that would mean your revenue accuracy was off.. which is a crime.
