How To: Count In and Out Without Stand Dog

How To: Count In and Out Without Stand Dog

Concessions user  ·  Yellow Dog Inventory 2026

 WHY IT'S IMPORTANT

If the Stand Dog app is unavailable during an event, stand operators can hand-write count-in and count-out values on printed Pre-Event Sheets, then enter that data into the Stand Reconciliation after the event. This article covers printing the Pre-Event Sheets and entering the counts manually.

 PREREQUISITES

•    The event must be started in Yellow Dog. Stand Reconciliations are not generated until the event has started.

•    Permission to print Pre-Event Sheets and edit stand reconciliations.

 STEP BY STEP

Print Pre-Event Sheets

1.  Go to Stand Sheets > Stand Reconciliation.

2.  Use the filters to find the stands that need Pre-Event Sheets. You can print for multiple stands at once.

3.  Highlight the stands, then either right-click and select Print Pre-Event Sheets, or select Print Pre-Event Sheets on the right.

4.  In the popup, choose which item types to include, Chargeables, Non-Chargeable/Supply, POS Recipe Items, or all types, then select OK.

5.  In the print preview, review the output and select a printer. If you opened it by mistake, select Do Not Print.

Note: Pre-Event Sheets can be printed from Stand Reconciliation only after the event has started. They can also be printed from inside an event or the event list before the event starts.

Enter counts manually in the Stand Reconciliation

1.  Go to Stand Sheets > Stand Reconciliation.

2.  Use the filters to find the stand, then highlight it and double-click to open the reconciliation editor.

3.  Select Begin Reconciliation on the right to make the counts editable.

4.  Enter the quantities from the Pre-Event Sheets into the matching fields: Actual Count In, Waste, Comp, and Actual Count Out.

5.  When you are done, select Commit. To pause and return later, select Save and Close instead, which sets the stand’s status to Reconciliation.

Caution: Once you select Begin Reconciliation and then Save and Close, the stand’s status changes to Reconciliation and it can no longer be edited in the Stand Dog app. 

Note: Selecting Update Sales performs a final sales pull for the location so the most up-to-date sales data appears.
