00:00:02,066 this is Barry's Make Counting Count series
00:00:04,800 where we show you how our down to the serving
00:00:06,466 approach to inventory
00:00:07,500 can increase your bar's profit by 30%
00:00:10,366 in this video we're gonna show you how to
00:00:12,266 eliminate errors by comparing your counts
00:00:14,600 with their expected inventory counts
00:00:16,566 let's take a look
00:00:17,900 as we can see here at the preliminary results
00:00:20,300 got a strange situation
00:00:21,500 where bottled beer is over accounted
00:00:24,000 meaning
00:00:24,400 that we've actually sold more than what we poured
00:00:27,666 or we say we're missing minus 50 bottles
00:00:30,366 that's because based on the current calculations
00:00:32,366 we sold 1 hundred and sixty one bottles
00:00:34,300 but only poured 111 something's obviously wrong there
00:00:38,800 looking on this next screen
00:00:40,433 we're looking at the offsets for bottled beer
00:00:43,200 so on the right here we can see the items
00:00:45,166 where we supposedly sold
00:00:46,900 more items than what we actually poured
00:00:49,766 looking in detailed at Bud Light
00:00:52,266 we can see the problem here is that previously
00:00:54,433 we had one case
00:00:56,466 we had no purchases
00:00:58,466 and then the current count was larger
00:01:00,800 let's take a look by looking at the expected value
00:01:04,833 so another way of looking at this is
00:01:06,766 we started with just over a case
00:01:08,466 we had no purchases and we sold just under a case
00:01:12,000 do the math
00:01:12,600 and we should have had point six basically of a case
00:01:16,033 but today we counted 1.42
00:01:18,100 which is in fact more than we started with
00:01:20,266 even counting for the sales
00:01:22,833 so obviously that can't be true
00:01:25,000 so then
00:01:25,466 we can look at the individual name zones
00:01:27,400 and see what we counted so in the west beer cooler
00:01:30,300 we had six in the east beer cooler
00:01:32,466 another six and beer bottom shelf B
00:01:35,400 we have 22 so our all day count was 34 or 1.42 cases
00:01:41,466 now we can use these
00:01:43,500 this information
00:01:44,266 to determine where the miscount occurred
00:01:46,466 and fix the numbers
00:01:47,400 before they show on our final reports
