UK Events Stocktaking

Real-Time Control For Large-Scale Events

Are your events finances hamstrung by legions of temporary event staff? Are you finding that the high volume and limited service-time nature of your event is hampering your profitability?

Venners innovative ‘Live’ stocktaking and audit service for the events industry helps to maintain control over stock movement together with many aspects of the financial paper flow during events, helping you to maximise your event-day profits.

Due to the inherent nature of large events, Venners created this event stocktaking service to help you maintain control over your event, maximise profits and limit your losses in real time.

Operations at your event are monitored throughout by our Senior Event Stocktaking Consultants, giving them the vision and ability to offer profit-focused suggestions such as when to open a closed outlet or when to start pre-pouring. These small but significant changes can have a major impact on the profitability of your event.

Staff till usage can be monitored throughout the event, checking for non-compliance and to discourage theft. Till milking can also be implemented for particularly busy periods to counter pilferage.

Venners then post specialised Event Stocktaking auditors around your event to conduct immediate stocktakes, auditing every bar or food service point within an hour of your event closing. Stock results and analysis are then provided within the time it takes for your cashiers to count the cash, which facilitates rapid remedial action – if any is required. Using our Event Stocktaking systems and your new stock results, any operational inefficiency can be traced back to individual staff members and service points.

We have worked at world-wide athletic events, premier league football matches, concert arenas, major music festivals, flower shows, golf tournaments, Formula One racetracks, international cricket matches, horse races (of all sizes) , International Rugby matches – in fact just about at every major UK event and festival. . We have worked for outside catering companies, internal catering operations, a selection of world-class stadia and major hospitality companies.

Whatever the event, Venners can help you improve your events profit and controls.
