How do I stop running out of stock mid-service?

The shortage that stops service at eight in the evening was already visible at nine that morning — to something that was counting. An auto-reminder watches the quantity of each item and flags when, and how often, you need to restock. Set a threshold on any product and it announces itself once it drops below that line. Levels move as sales do, so what the system shows is what’s on the shelf now, not what was there when someone last counted it.

Across more than one outlet, the records sit together instead of in a stack of separate spreadsheets. Sales and stock movements sync between locations, and stock itself can move from the branch with spare to the branch that’s short. A purchase order can be raised straight out of a shortage, and when the delivery lands, what arrived is reconciled against what was ordered — the two stay tied together without anyone matching them up by hand. Bulk edits, importing or updating many items in one pass, keep a long or fast-changing list maintainable on the day a supplier changes its prices all at once.
