Practical, margin-focused stocktaking for pubs and bars

Supporting Hospitality
With Pubs & Bars

Running a pub or bar means managing stock that moves quickly — and where small inconsistencies can have a big impact on margins.

At Maynards, we provide independent stocktaking and reporting designed specifically for pubs and bars, helping you stay in control of stock, identify issues early, and protect profitability.

​

In pubs and bars, we regularly identify:

  • Overpouring and yield issues on spirits

  • Draught losses and cellar-related variances

  • Stock inconsistencies across busy service periods

  • Differences between expected and actual GP

​Each audit provides a clear picture of stock movement, usage and performance — helping you understand where margins are being lost and where improvements can be made.

​

We work across a wide range of pubs and bars, from independent venues to multi-site operations, adapting our approach to suit how each business runs day to day.

​

In a busy bar, small variances don’t stay small for long.

What sets us apart

Independent & Impartial

We work solely for you — not your brewery or pubco.
Every audit is carried out independently, with no conflicts of interest, so the numbers reflect what’s actually happening in your business.

Margin Protection

We pinpoint exactly where profit is being lost — from overpouring and wastage to till discrepancies and stock variances — so you can take action quickly.

Clear, Actionable Reporting

Straightforward reports that highlight the issues that matter — variances, trends, and opportunities — with practical insight, not just figures.

Flexible Scheduling

We fit around your operation — early mornings, late nights, or quieter trading periods — keeping disruption to a minimum while maintaining accuracy.
