You’ve seen the bad numbers (Day 2) and the floor-level leaks (Day 3). You now know it’s not just “bad staff” (Day 4). Today, the Inventory SOP Starter Kit gives you clear workflows for receiving, counting, and invoicing so those leaks finally start to close.

For the next 12 days, we’re giving you a series of “profit gifts.” But if we don’t know where you are now, we can’t measure what they fix.
Today’s job is simple:
“We need to measure where you are now so every gift moving forward actually fixes something.”
This worksheet is Step 1 of a multi-step process: you establish a clear baseline today, then use the next 11 resources to close the gap between where you are and where you want to be.
Most operators skip this. They add tools, software, and SOPs without a starting line, so no one can tell if anything worked. Day 1 solves that.
Up to now:
Day 5 is where you start fixing the system.
“These SOPs plug the leaks you uncovered on Day 3 and reduce the team mistakes from Day 4.”
Instead of telling people to “do better inventory,” you hand them a simple, written way to do it right, every time.
This is for you if:
You run restaurants, bars, or hospitality venues (single or multi-location)
You’re an owner, CEO, CFO, COO, VP Ops, or Group F&B responsible for profit
You suspect money is leaking in COGS, waste, and variance but can’t see exactly where
You care about automation and AI only if it clearly ties back to profit and control
Not for people looking for generic “holiday marketing ideas.” This is about operations and profit.
In one focused pass, you’ll:

You get three core SOP templates you can drop into your operation:
Each SOP includes:

To get the most from Day 1, have this ready:
Latest P&L (last full month or last 12 months)
POS summary for sales by category (food, bev, etc.)
Any internal COGS / inventory reports you already use
If you’re missing something, don’t overthink it. Fill in what you can now. You can refine later.
Don’t try to “install everything” in one day. One solid SOP, fully followed, beats five half‑used documents.

We’re shifting from awareness to action: from “I see the problem” to “Here’s the exact way we’ll run this from now on.”
