Simplified Stocktaking for Hotels and Restaurants
Stocktaking is a necessary but often time-consuming task in the hotel and restaurant industry. Manual counting increases the risk of errors and takes up valuable working time. For many, this means that stocktaking takes focus away from both operations and the guest experience. That is why Millum has developed a dedicated stocktaking module, with an accompanying stocktaking app, tailored for hotels, restaurants, and staff restaurants. The solution is designed to simplify the entire process – from the actual counting to better inventory control and fewer errors afterward.
Offline counting for storage areas with poor connectivity
Many storage rooms are located in basements or areas with poor or unstable internet access. This can make digital stocktaking frustrating in practice. With Millum’s stocktaking app, you can count items completely offline, without interruptions. When you regain internet access, the count is automatically synchronized, ensuring that nothing is lost along the way.
Multiple users can count at the same time
For larger stocktakes, it is often necessary for several employees to count simultaneously. The stocktaking module is therefore designed for collaboration:
- Product groups can be distributed among employees
- Multiple people can count in parallel on the same stocktake, in different product groups
- Automatic locking of groups prevents the same item from being counted twice
The result is faster completion and better control, even for extensive stocktakes.
More accurate counting of beverages
Counting beverages often requires a different approach than dry goods. Instead of rough descriptions, the stocktaking module supports measurement units such as:
- Centiliters
- Liters
- Opened units
This provides much more accurate inventory figures, especially for businesses that serve alcohol or have a large beverage assortment.
Stocktaking via mobile app
For many users, the mobile app has become the most important tool for stocktaking. The app provides a clear overview of assigned and delegated product groups and makes it possible to work efficiently directly from a mobile phone or tablet. In addition, the app supports barcode scanning, saving users even more time.
