Dispensaries have many different products that come in at any given time. Whether its new products or products being restocked there are things your employees will want to know about. If you are not staying up to date with your inventory it can lead to frustration with your employees and customers. With BudSense there are many ways to display your products through menus. You can also use reports to help your employees know what's going on with your inventory.

New Products

There will always be new products coming into your dispensary. Your employees will want to know what new products have come in. They should also know what category the product belongs to and what they can tell their customers about it.

Once products come in your employees will want to know about the name price description etc. There may be times where your employee misses a product that came in or doesn't add all the necessary information to your menu.

Having a routine to check on your inventory will allow your employees to know what new products have come in and what they need to focus on. This will also allow your employees to be prepared if a customer asks about a new product.

Restocked Products

Some products will sell out faster than others and may not be available for a short amount of time. Once those products are restocked your employees should know that they are back in stock.

Your employees may continue to tell customers that a product is out of stock when in fact it has just been restocked. Customers may also not see that product on your online menu if they are looking for it.

Knowing what products have been restocked can benefit your employees by allowing them to give more information to their customers. It can also help you know what products are selling out frequently.

Allowing Your Employees To Know

Your employees want to know what's going on so they can better serve their customers. If they don't know what new products have come in or what products have been restocked they may spend more time looking through your inventory.

Having a report that they can look at will allow your employees to know what's going on with your inventory. They can look at this information before their shift or during slow times.

If you have multiple employees that receive products and update your menu it's important to let everyone know what has changed. They should also know if there is anything else that needs to be done.

Reports Can Help

As mentioned above reports can help your employees know what has changed with your inventory. Depending on what type of reports you have they may show new products or products that have been restocked.

You can always have your employees look at a report when they come in to see what's changed. This can also be something that you as the manager can do and inform your employees about.

With BudSense we have a Reports tab that can be helpful to your dispensary. It can allow your employees to know what's going on with your inventory and have one place to look.

Just like with any report you will want to make sure your employees know what to look for and when to look at it.

Updating Your Menu

As you can imagine when you have new products or products that have been restocked you will want to update your menu. Your customers will want to know what products you have available and what they cost.

If your menu isn't up to date your customers may not know what products you have or what they cost. Make sure your employees are checking on your products and updating your menu when necessary. If you have an integration that can help with this make sure your employees are checking on it as well.

Communication

Just like with new products and restocked products your employees will want to know what's going on. They may not know what products came in during the previous shift or what needs to be updated on your menu.

Having a report that they can look at will allow your employees to know what's going on. You can also have a list that you can leave for your employees to know what's been done and what still needs to be done.

This will allow your employees to have a head start when they come in and can help with any questions they may have.

Multiple Locations

If you have multiple locations you will want to make sure your employees know what's going on at their location. There may be products that are available at one location and not the other.

Your employees should know what products are available at their location and what has changed. Having a report that they can look at will allow them to know what's going on at their location.

Depending on your retailer you may be able to see this information all in one place. Just make sure your employees are checking on their local inventory as well.

Having a routine to check on your inventory will also allow you to see what's not being done and can help with any issues that may arise.

Having A Routine

As you can see there are many things to keep track of when it comes to your inventory. Having a routine will allow your employees to know what they need to do and when they need to do it.

You can have your employees check on new products when they come in. Check on products that have been restocked and update your menu. Then have them look at a report when they come in to see what's changed.

By having a routine you can make sure that your employees are doing what they need to and can help with any questions they may have.
