If your inventory numbers don’t match your sales, something’s wrong—and it could be walking right out the door.
In today’s video, I share the true story of a restaurant client who couldn’t figure out why they were constantly restocking alcohol while sales stayed flat. After a deeper look, they discovered that one of their managers was walking out each night with bottles in hand—and no one was reporting it. It was theft hiding in plain sight, draining their profit and creating inventory chaos.
