Is your inventory system secretly draining your profits?
Most bar owners think their inventory problems come from theft or over-ordering. But the truth is, the real cost is hiding in your systems, and it’s killing your margins quietly.
In this episode, I break down the real numbers behind inventory loss, the hidden costs you’re not tracking, and the step-by-step system to cut waste, stop shrinkage, and keep more profit in your pocket.
No more guessing. No more “eyeballing” your orders. Just a real strategy that works, even if you hate spreadsheets.
What You’ll Learn:
🌟 The real formula for calculating true inventory cost
🌟 Why shrinkage isn’t always theft and what it usually is
🌟 How to compare actual vs theoretical usage (without fancy tools)
🌟 3 ways to prevent inventory loss before it starts
🌟 How to use tracking to catch problems before they snowball
🌟 A 3-month inventory system that cuts costs and saves your sanity
🌟 When to outsource inventory (and when it’s just a waste of money)
