# The best inventory and stores software for hotels.

A hotel runs several stores at once: main, kitchen, cold room, each bar, housekeeping and maintenance. Each must show what it holds, what it issued and what went missing. Here is what to look for, and how Tivuzo does it as part of one back office.

**What is the best inventory software for hotels?**
The best inventory and stores software for hotels covers main, kitchen, bar and housekeeping stores, issues and transfers, reorder levels, counts and stock value in the books, and handles what is specific to hotels: a store per outlet and department; requisitions signed by department heads; weekly bar and kitchen counts; stock value by store at month-end. It should share one database with the rest of the back office so nothing is typed twice. Tivuzo includes it with the PMS, POS, procurement, stores and accounting for $13 per user per month.

## What hotels need

A hotel runs several stores at once: main, kitchen, cold room, each bar, housekeeping and maintenance. Each must show what it holds, what it issued and what went missing.

- A store per outlet and department
- Requisitions signed by department heads
- Weekly bar and kitchen counts
- Stock value by store at month-end

## The full checklist

Beyond the specifics above, any inventory and stores software for a hotel should have:

| Must have | In Tivuzo |
|---|---|
| A store per department: main, kitchen, cold room, bar, housekeeping, maintenance | ✓ |
| Buy in one unit, issue in another | ✓ |
| Requisitions and issues between stores | ✓ |
| Reorder levels per item and store | ✓ |
| Waste and breakage with a reason | ✓ |
| Counts with variance before posting | ✓ |
| Stock value and food and beverage cost in the accounts | ✓ |
| Shares data with the rest of the back office | ✓ One database: PMS, POS, procurement, stores, accounting |

## Why it should be part of one system

When stores are joined to procurement, the POS and the accounts, receipts, issues and sales move stock and its value automatically, and the monthly count shows a variance you can trust.

## What it costs a hotel

At a typical hotel the people who log in are the front office, housekeeping, F&B, stores, purchasing and accounts: 12 users, $156 a month or $1,497.60 a year, with every module included. See [pricing](https://www.tivuzo.com/pricing/).
