The best solutions are cloud-based, collaborative platforms that give operators real-time control, streamline supplier relationships, and focus on maximising profitability. That’s exactly where StockTake Online stands out.
Running a restaurant has always been a balancing act, but in today’s UK market, it’s become even more complex. Soaring food costs, unpredictable supply chains, and staffing challenges are all part of the daily grind. According to the British Hospitality Association, over 80% of independent restaurants in the UK cite inventory and food cost management as their top operational struggle.
But there’s good news. Restaurants that implement the right inventory management software can reduce food costs by up to 30%, simply by gaining greater visibility into stock levels, ordering patterns, and supplier performance. That’s where StockTake Online comes in - a purpose-built, cloud-based restaurant inventory system for the UK hospitality industry that’s designed to maximise profit and improve collaboration across your supply chain.
Whether you operate a single-site bistro in Bath or manage a chain of franchises across Greater London, StockTake Online enables smarter decision-making at every level - from the kitchen to your suppliers. Discover the platform here.
StockTake Online allows restaurant teams to work more closely with suppliers, creating transparency, improving forecasting, and reducing errors in the procurement process. It’s the kind of tool that pays for itself - not just in time saved, but in pounds recovered from unnecessary waste and lost stock.
Across the UK, hospitality operators face similar frustrations: over-ordering, under-ordering, inconsistent deliveries, and the chaos of managing dozens of spreadsheets or disconnected platforms. The impact? Shrinking margins, bloated stockrooms, and staff wasting hours reconciling stock discrepancies.
This is especially damaging for multi-unit operators, where the lack of centralised visibility can lead to thousands of pounds in lost value each month. One location might be overstocked, another might be running on empty - and without a real-time overview, it’s almost impossible to take corrective action quickly.
Fluctuating supplier prices, late deliveries, and seasonal demand shifts further complicate the picture. Regional factors also play a role. In the UK, price volatility for core ingredients like dairy and fresh produce continues to rise. For operators across the Midlands, North of England, and Scotland, rural supply chain disruption adds even more complexity.
StockTake Online directly addresses these pain points through a streamlined, cloud-based platform that provides visibility across your entire stock ecosystem. Explore the key features here.
StockTake Online bridges the gap between restaurants and their suppliers with a supplier restaurant collaboration software model.
