Keep Track of Daily Business Sales

Checking in your sales daily, rather than keeping a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly schedule enables you to track and respond to sudden changes in your restaurant, allowing you to make ideal adjustments regarding your inventory planning and general management.

Rather than computing everything by hand from an inventory sheet or guessing your way through it, make sure you can access data right from your POS system.

Just be sure to switch out these back up inventory regularly from time to time to avoid giving out bad supplies when you get around to using it.
