A liquor inventory sheet helps bar managers and owners track the products they stock. This spreadsheet allows bar owners and managers to quickly determine what stock is available, as well as order specific amounts of stock when necessary. It allows them to calculate pour prices, variances and margins.

It can be difficult to take inventory for any company. This is especially true for bars and restaurants, which have many products to choose from. Moreover, as they expand their businesses, they frequently change or add new products to their line. The task of managing all these inventory manually is a challenge. This becomes even more challenging when you are using an Excel sheet to track your liquor supplies.

Create a list with all of your products in it. This list is arranged alphabetically, and it should include all types, brands, sizes and shapes of your liquor bottles.
