When to use this checklist
Best when you are operating across inventory-management, payments-pos, event-commerce and need a shared definition of done.
Use this printable checklist before POS go-live and opening stock import. It walks through catalogue alignment, depletion rules, modifiers, location mapping, exceptions, and reconciliation handoff — so bar, merch, and retail revenue ties to on-hand stock.
What this checklist is
A gated PDF checklist for POS-to-inventory mapping — not ticket inventory. It is the sign-off pack between “menu is loaded” and “we can trade and reconcile on site”.
Who it is for
- Stock controllers and inventory leads owning catalog truth
- Bar and F&B managers accountable for outlet mapping
- POS and commercial leads loading menus and tenders
- Finance leads signing off reconciliation and variance paths
How to use it before POS go-live
Freeze the POS menu version, complete SKU alignment and depletion tables, then run test transactions at one outlet. Do not import opening stock until mapping sign-off rows are complete. Document void, comp, and bundle rules before site-wide trading.
How it connects to inventory setup, catalog, and counts
Start with the Inventory Setup Checklist for catalog and location readiness. Use the Stock Item Catalog Template for SKU data, then this PDF for POS mapping sign-off. Run counts with the Stock Count Template after trading to prove on-hand matches sales.
