Stocktake
Count blind, then see what the night hid.
A count that hides theoretical stock while you walk the store. You close with a valued gap. Waste explains some of it. The rest is the conversation you were avoiding.

On a busy night
How Inventory actually uses it.
01
You walk with empty numbers
The sheet does not show what the system thinks. You write what is on the shelf.
02
You lock the night
The gap appears, in units and in money. Waste is subtracted. What remains is the story.
03
Stock starts from truth
On-hand is the count, not the theoretical. Next week’s par and PO use this number.
01
Theoretical is hidden on purpose
You count what you see. The system does not whisper the number you wanted. A honest count is the only count that is worth locking.
02
The gap has a currency
Units become money. A missing loin is not “a bit short”. It is a line the owner can put next to Friday’s revenue.
03
Waste is the first alibi
If the log already ate those grams, the gap shrinks. If it did not, you are not looking at spoilage. You are looking at a hole.

“The first blind count was humiliating. The third paid for itself. We had been losing a tenderloin a week to a door that did not lock.”
