WHAT WE DO
Built Around What
Actually Matters
With decades of experience in hospitality, we understand how venues operate day to day — and how stock control affects performance.
01
Clear
Our reports are designed to be easy to understand, with straightforward explanations and practical observations — not just figures on a page.
02
Accurate
Thorough, impartial, and rigorous — every count is independent. We give owners and managers confidence in their margins and stock control procedures.
03
Useful
Where possible, we discuss results in person, helping you interpret the numbers and understand what they mean for your business, day to day.
A PRACTICAL APPROACH
Straightforward.
Thorough. Reliable.
We believe stock auditing should cut through complexity — not add to it. Whether we're working in a small independent pub or supporting a larger multi-site operation, our focus is always the same.
We are as comfortable in a small, hands-on venue as we are supporting larger, more complex businesses — always with the same focus on accuracy, consistency and clarity.
● Clear, accessible reporting
● Accurate, independent stocktaking
● Practical, actionable observations

MODERN METHODS
Trusted Principles,
Modern Methods
We use modern technology to ensure every audit is accurate, consistent and efficient — from on-site counts to final reporting.
Our systems integrate with your existing processes, giving you clear, reliable data you can trust.
Where required, cocktail recipes and pre-batched mixes can be broken down into their component parts — allowing us to identify variances at ingredient level, not just by product.
● Tablet-based stocktaking
● EPOS & back-office system integration
● Structured digital reporting
WHAT SETS US APART
Independent and Objective
We are completely independent — we don’t supply products or software — so our reporting is always objective and focused solely on your business.
We work alongside your existing suppliers and systems, providing clear, impartial insight that helps you make informed decisions and stay in control.
WORKING WITH MAYNARDS
Built on Long-Term
Relationships
Many of our clients have worked with us for years, valuing the consistency and reliability our approach provides.
Regular stocktaking builds a clearer picture over time, helping identify trends, highlight recurring issues, and support better long-term decisions.
I’ve used Maynards for many years across my hotel, bar, and restaurant, and their food and drink stocktaking service has been invaluable in helping me control costs and protect profitability.
