Why SCANit? - Overview

All successful restaurants know that every penny counts and that margins are slim at best. So, does it make sense to count inventory on a regular basis and keep orders tight? Of course it does. Most successful restaurants take a full inventory once a week and place orders several times a week.

The problem with this is the labour factor. It usually takes a good part of a day to take a complete inventory and place all your orders. And if your inventory is out, then start adding on the hours. Did you make an error on your counting sheet? Maybe you missed a decimal point when entering your numbers into your spreadsheet? Maybe there is a formula wrong? Did you accidentally skip a line? How about the cost prices? Are they accurate and up to date? Usually the people counting your inventory are also some of the highest paid people in your restaurant. What percentage of time are these high paid staff walking around with a clip board and pen, sitting at a computer or on the phone placing orders instead of doing what you really want them to be doing... training, cooking, serving customers, and developing new ideas that will help your business grow.
