If you're noticing that some of your items have a consistent variance from inventory to inventory, you can perform spot checks to find out when it's happening.

Spot checks / Independent inventories are separate from ordinary inventory counts, and allow you to count a specific subset of your items more often.

For example, you could perform a spot check on certain items before opening, and then take another count at the end of the night. For those items, you'll see the consumption and the variance for that evening.

If a variance in that period is detected, you can take steps to correct it with your staff.
