Stock Take Software

Stock take software for UK hospitality businesses.

Stockt is a stock take app that replaces paper sheets and spreadsheets with mobile-first counting designed for bars, restaurants, pubs, cafés and hospitality groups. Faster counts, fewer errors, better data.

What is a stock take?

A stock take is the process of physically counting and recording stock a business holds at a given point in time, used to verify inventory accuracy, calculate stock value and identify discrepancies between expected and actual stock levels.

Count stock the way your team actually works.

Choose a full stock take, a category stock take for a specific area, or a quick stock take for spot checks. Progress is tracked visually by category, and the count is submitted for manager review with one tap.

Three ways to count stock

Different situations call for different approaches. Stockt supports all three.

Full stock take

Count every product in your inventory. Used for your weekly or fortnightly complete count. Staff work through every category and submit for manager review.

Best for: weekly counts, period-end reviews

Category stock take

Count a specific category of products, such as spirits or kegs. Faster than a full count and useful for targeted checks between full stock takes.

Best for: mid-week checks, cellar counts

Quick stock take

Count specific products only. Useful for checking individual items after a busy event or flagging a product that's running low.

Best for: post-event checks, spot counts

Why digital stock takes beat paper

No transcription

Counts go straight into the system. No retyping from paper into a spreadsheet later.

Consistent process

The same structured count every time, regardless of who's working that shift.

Manager review

Counts are reviewed before they update inventory, catching errors before they matter.

Faster overall

Most teams complete stock takes significantly faster than paper-based counting.

Inventory updates the moment a stock take is approved.

Once a manager approves a submitted count, inventory levels update automatically. Low stock and critical stock are flagged immediately, with suggested order quantities ready to review.

Frequently asked questions

What is a stock take?

A stock take is the process of physically counting and recording the stock a business holds at a given point in time. It's used to verify inventory accuracy, calculate stock value and identify discrepancies between expected and actual stock levels.

How does stock take software work?

Stock take software lets staff count stock directly on a phone or tablet instead of a paper sheet. Products are listed in a structured order, quantities are entered against each one, and the completed count is submitted for manager review before inventory updates.

How often should businesses complete a stock take?

This depends on the business. Many bars and restaurants complete a full stock take weekly, with quick counts on high-value or fast-moving items more frequently. Multi-site operators often standardise frequency across all venues for consistent reporting.

Can stock take software work on any device?

Yes. Stockt works on any smartphone, tablet or desktop browser, so staff can count stock on whatever device is available rather than needing dedicated hardware.

What is the difference between a full stock take and a quick stock take?

A full stock take counts every product in a venue. A category stock take counts a specific category, such as spirits or kegs. A quick stock take checks a small number of specific items, useful for spot checks between full counts.
