Stock Control

Everything you need to manage bar stock

From bottles and mixers to beach club supplies, Firetable covers every part of nightlife inventory management.

Items & Categories

Organize your inventory with custom categories, units, and detailed item profiles. Track purchase prices, suppliers, and par levels for every product.

Batch Tracking

Monitor individual batches with expiry dates, purchase costs, and remaining quantities. Perfect for perishable goods and premium spirits.

Stock Movements

Record every inbound delivery, outbound usage, transfer between locations, and waste. Full audit trail for complete accountability.

Import & Export

Bulk import your existing inventory via spreadsheet. Export reports for accounting, tax filing, or supplier negotiations.

Costing

Smart costing strategies

Choose the costing method that matches your business. Firetable calculates cost of goods automatically.

  1. FIFO — First In, First Out

    Oldest stock is used first. Ideal for spirits and beverages where you want to rotate inventory naturally and keep costs aligned with purchase order.

  2. FEFO — First Expired, First Out

    Items closest to expiry are used first. Essential for perishable goods like fresh ingredients, garnishes, and mixers to minimize waste.

  3. Weighted Average Cost

    Blends the cost of all batches into a single average. Great for high-volume items where individual batch tracking is less important than overall cost control.
