Stock Take (1 Viewer)

ccfcway · May 26, 2014

The CCFC Superstore will close on Wednesday and Thursday next week as part of routine stock take and will re-open as normal on Friday.

........................................

2 days for a stock take ?

surely it doesnt take 2 days to count 2,000 mugs. Someone does that in 45 mins most saturdays (joke)

Seriously cant think of any other buisness of that size closing for 2 days for a stock. Normally done out of hours ?

Hopefully it means the training kit will soon be in the sale. I want to buy more of the shirts but am against paying £25

It depends on how you do it and whether you're prepared to pay overtime to do it out of hours. Where I work currently it's done whilst we're open, is a PITA and takes longer as a result. The method that we have to use is the stock levels are frozen on the computer system when we start. Any sales during this point are held separately until the end of the check. Then everything is counted manually and checked off against expected levels. Despite having everything computerised dicrepancies are always found and can be the result of shoplifting, incorrect labels, etc. The system may say you have nothing of a particular item in stock and one or two are found. We also have to do random cross checks to make sure that things have been done correctly.

Then the counted stock levels have to be input back in to the computer. The sales done since you started are reconciled with the actual stock and you find out you sold something that you didn't have any of officially and you have to be able to explain all this. Fun doesn't describe it, I think it's the same system they used before computerising everything and they never updated the procedures.

agreed. but its hardly Tescos. I would suggest that one person would take one day at the most, even if the shop was closed. There is only 300 SKU's at the most !

Cant imagine that it is very busy during the week to do it, but I have never been in there since they moved it from The Ricoh.

skybluetony176 · May 26, 2014

2days for stock take? It didn't take em 2days to take the stock out of the Ricoh shop. Why aren't they using the same firm this time? ;-)

Who cares?

When you say 'count 2,000 mugs I do hope you're not talking about the City fans who attend Sixfields.

This is the sort of news we have come to expect when it comes to CCFC!

good point. Who cares about how the club runs its business in a time when every penny counts !

FFS....how long it takes to count some poxy mugs and cheap tops isn't going to affect the outcome of the JR or result in JM signing a new contract.

And to be fair, none of us cared how we were run as a business when we were sp*nking money up the wall in the 90's....

If every penny counts why did we spend last season at suxfields?

i didn't say it would. I would however suggest its yet another sign of how poorly our club is run by the owners. Many other businesses wouldnt accept closing for 2 trading days for a stock take.

I wasnt aware every thread needed to be about the JR or Murphys contract ?

So what you're saying is, you're withholding revenue in the vain attempt to instigate financial disaster for the company, and hope to buy a shirt in a fire sale after a judicial review when it is deemed that £25 is too expensive. In the meantime, you've been window shopping at a club 35 miles away and threatening to open your own sports clothing shop, for which you have some fancy pictures but bugger all else...

Football isn't like any other business though, is it?

ah, thats ok then.

It probably costs them less to close for two days and lose out on the potential sales than it does to pay staff to stock-take after hours.

sadly, you may well be right. Still have to pay rent for those two days, and we know what CCFC are like when it comes to renting a place that they arent using !

No, about football not being like other businesses...the one that you referenced with your 'that's ok then' comment....

ah, sorry. agreed, its not like any other business. But this is a "shop", surely this would be as close to a "normal business" as football can get ?

Yeah, but who knows why it might take two days?? And who cares?! If they have say 4 staff (I know it's probably not that number), it only takes one on holiday, one ill and one emergency to leave one person holding the fort. There's probably some logical reason for it.

Stop being paranoid man. There's enough reasons for that...no need to sweat about the time taken to count some coasters.

not paranoid. If the above was the case, you'd just postpone the stock take ?.

Not gonna lose any sleep over it, but its poor management.

To be fair I can't imagine they earn much revenue on a weekday outside of the season, especially when interest in the club from its own fans is at a 131 year low.

Fucking hell, is that what passes as a tourist attraction to take the kids to in Coventry? I feel for you all.

surely if you live in coventry it wouldnt be a tourist attraction, it would be a local shop ?

No future with SISU · May 27, 2014

It is a supprise there is any stock left to count as the information that came my way was that their is more stock being stolen than sold. There was no cameras and the tills were to far away from the doors, so all the stock next to the doors was been lifted. They can not even run a shop.
