Frequently Asked Questions
What is hospitality stocktaking and why do I need it?
Hospitality stocktaking is the professional audit of your bar, cellar, and kitchen inventory to identify waste, prevent theft, and improve gross profit margins. At Bespoke Auditing, I provide same-day reporting with strategic recommendations that consistently pay for themselves. With 30 years of operational experience from bistros to major hotel operations, I deliver not just stock counts but actionable insights that protect your profits.
What makes Bespoke Auditing different from other stocktaking firms?
Bespoke Auditing combines A -starred operational experience with qualified inventory auditing. You get tailored advice, practical solutions, and ongoing support -not just a stock count. Consultancy without the extra fees.
How much can professional stocktaking save my restaurant or hotel?
Most hospitality businesses lose 2-8% of their gross profit through stock control issues. My clients typically recover 3-5% of their food and beverage costs within the first quarter after implementing my recommendations. For a hotel turning over £500,000 annually in F&B, that's £15,000-25,000 back in your pocket - making the investment pay for itself many times over.
What areas do you cover for hospitality stocktaking services?
I provide independent stocktaking and consulting services across Northern Ireland and Central Scotland, including Glasgow, Edinburgh, and the Central Belt. Whether you're a boutique hotel in Belfast or a restaurant group in Edinburgh, I deliver the same personal service and professional expertise to every client.
Do you only count stock or provide business advice too?
My approach is comprehensive consulting, not just counting. I provide spirit testing, cellar management training, waste reduction strategies, and stock control systems implementation. You get strategic recommendations based on three decades of managing operations from kitchen to boardroom, delivered through same-day reporting that drives immediate improvements.
Can you help with business transfer audits for sale purposes?
Yes, my BII qualification enables me to provide professional business transfer audits and valuation certificates required for hospitality business sales. I've helped numerous clients through the sale process, ensuring accurate stock valuations that satisfy both buyers and sellers whilst avoiding transaction delays.
How long does a hospitality stocktake typically take?
Most hotel and restaurant stocktakes are completed within one working day, with your detailed report delivered the same day. I use proprietary reporting software to ensure consistent, professional documentation that provides immediate actionable insights rather than waiting weeks for results.
What's included in your stocktaking service?
My comprehensive service includes full inventory audit, spirit testing, cellar management assessment, waste analysis, staff training recommendations, and strategic consulting on profit improvement opportunities. You receive detailed reporting with specific recommendations tailored to your operation's unique challenges and opportunities.
