How to use it

  1. Set the areas once. Rename the three area columns to where bottles actually live: speed rail, back bar, the service bar, the cage. Keep them in the order you walk.
  2. Write the bottles in shelf order, left to right, the way they sit. The sheet should follow the shelf, not the alphabet, or you'll spend the count hunting for rows.
  3. Count full bottles as whole numbers and open ones in tenths. 2.4 is two sealed and one at four tenths. The tenths chart turns that into ounces.
  4. Add across for Total. That's what you have. Compare it to Par and write the difference in Order.
  5. Keep every sheet. Last week's total is this week's start count, which is what variance needs.

The download is a plain CSV file: it opens in Excel, Google Sheets (File, then Import) and Numbers. The Total column in the download adds up the areas for you.

Put the clipboard down. Just say it.
