Quick Reference: Stand Profiling
Stand profiling ensures your system accurately reflects
real-world stand operations—critical in high-volume concessions environments.
- Ensures items are available and correctly assigned to
each stand
- Supports accurate inventory valuation and visibility at the stand level
- Prevents missing mappings between POS items and inventory
(Recipes/chargeables)
- Helps maintain clean EOM reporting and variance analysis
- Reduces operational issues during events by validating setup
ahead of time
Accurate setup across stands supports the same goal as core
workflows—reliable inventory data and reporting outcomes
- Completed before the start of each season
- Reviewed ahead of every End-of-Month (EOM)
- Provides visibility into inventory cost per stand
- Allows detailed review of chargeable, non-chargeable, and
supply items
- Supports bulk updates to par levels, reorder points, and
max levels
- Identifies missing recipe/chargeable mappings for POS
items
High-Level Workflow
- Open Stand Profiles and review all stand locations
- Select a stand to review detailed setup
- Validate inventory items, costs, and assignments
- Review POS items and recipe/chargeable mappings
- Adjust items, pars, and setup as needed
- Re-check prior to events and EOM
Stand Profiling Checklist
Review Stand Overview
- Open stand profile and review summary information
- Confirm associated facility and warehouse connections
- Review total inventory cost for the stand
Tip: Total cost visibility helps you understand how much
inventory is sitting at each stand at any time
Validate Inventory Items (Chargeable, Non-Chargeable,
Supplies)
- Review all items assigned to the stand
- Confirm correct sizing, cost, and on-hand quantities
- Ensure items align with expected product mix
- Sort and group items logically (A–Z or naming conventions)
- Add missing items as needed
- Remove or deactivate incorrect items
- Edit item details directly if needed
Tip: Consistent item naming improves sorting and stand
usability during operations
Adjust Inventory Controls (Pars, Reorder Points, Max)
- Review par levels for each item
- Update reorder points and max levels as needed
- Use mass edit functionality to update multiple items efficiently
Tip: Bulk editing allows quick adjustments across all stand
items without opening each item individually
Review POS Items & Recipe Mapping
- Navigate to POS/Recipe items within the stand
- Confirm each POS item has:
- A clear short description (matches POS display)
- A linked recipe (if applicable)
- A defined chargeable item
- Identify items with missing recipes or chargeables
- Resolve any “unknown” or unmapped items
Important: POS items without recipes or chargeables will not
properly deplete inventory, leading to reporting inaccuracies
Final Pre-Event / Pre-EOM Review
- Re-check all stands for completeness
- Confirm recent item or menu changes are reflected
- Validate readiness for inventory and reporting
