Shrinkage is the gentle word that we use instead of
saying loss or theft. In the bar
business, shrinkage is about 25%. Losing
one quarter of my income over the bar could force me to lose my business. (Scannabar, 2012)
By using an inventory control system, like
Scannabar, I can keep my employees honest and protect my profits.
Scannabar can track and monitor every bottle of
liquor, beer and wine from the door until its empty. By using an inventory control system, I will
keep accurate records of my profit center.
Using inventory control also gives the perception to the staff that I have
every detail under control.
Each bottle is barcoded when it comes into the
facility. When it is opened at the bar
it is scanned again. During the
inventory process, all the open bottles can be measured and scanned. When the bottle is empty it is scanned one last
time and the system will tell me how much money that bottle made.
I can integrate the Scannabar system into my Point
Of Sale system. By doing that I can control
my inventory, track my sales dollars, and manage my business more efficiently.
Any new business needs to be managed. A new business that depends on employees is
especially vulnerable, so computer systems that help me control my business
expenses are invaluable.
