Steps

1Count by weight (scale) for spirits; eyeball counts hide 20% variance
2Set variance tolerance per category; investigate beyond threshold, not below
3Track comps/spills/waste separately with signatures — they're not mysteries
4Reconcile POS pours vs depletion weekly; patterns reveal causes
5Lock high-value bottles with par-level accountability per shift
6Never accuse on one cycle; trends plus evidence or nothing

Common Pitfalls

▲Full-inventory counts only quarterly, variance forever mysterious
▲Waste logging so punishing it goes underground
