Hospitality stocktaking

Stocktaking for venues that buy to sell

Cafés, restaurants, bars, event venues, bakeries — if you buy food or drink to sell, you have a use case for Hosti. Dedicated mobile stocktaking for NZ and Australian hospitality, not another POS inventory afterthought.

One tool across the house — not just the back bar

Coolrooms, pastry cases, cellar, prep, pop-up bars for a weekend festival. Your team counts in areas, often at once, often late. Supermarket inventory software was never built for that.

Multi-area counting

Split the stocktake across staff and zones without colliding sheets or losing who counted what.

Variance you can act on

See discrepancy where it helps — not buried in a master spreadsheet you’ll never open again.

Phone on the floor

Count by department and area on a phone or tablet. Barcode when the label’s there, tap when it isn’t, offline after first login. No proprietary terminal to start counting.

In the app

Real Hosti screens from a live venue count — floor inventory, variance briefing, and department wrap-up. Same warm product you get on Day One.

Hosti Front Bar area inventory mid-count — **Count on the floor** Front Bar mid-count — areas, counts, and progress without a clipboard.

Hosti reports briefing — variance and what leaked — **See what leaked** Variance briefing — the miss where you can act, not buried in a sheet.

Hosti department complete — venue wrap-up — **Close the department** Department complete — proof the house finished the count cleanly.

Who Hosti is for

If stock walks through the door and leaves as a sale, Hosti belongs in the workflow.

Cafés & bakeries

Milk, pastry, coffee, perishables — counts that have to move fast before service, not after the waste bin fills.

Restaurants & bars

Kitchen, coolroom, back bar, cellar. Multi-staff area counts when the floor is still live.

Event venues

Fixed sites with changing menus and temporary bars — one governed stocktake system across the operation.

Short-format events

Festivals, pop-ups, one-off service days. Count in, count out, see what moved — without building a permanent POS inventory stack for a weekend.

Operator voice, not trade-show theatre

Hosti is for owner-operators and managers who care enough to count properly — and are sick of tools that make counting slower.

Public pricing, public product. We don’t hide the ask. Core is $149/month excl. GST rolling, or $1,608/year excl. GST billed annually ($134/month), per venue, with unlimited staff on that venue. Prices are in NZD and exclude GST. GST is added at checkout.

If you already stocktake fortnightly, the baseline maths is simple: $1,608 a year puts roughly $2,000 back in your pocket, and pays for itself in about five months on that fortnightly baseline — assuming 2 people, 4 hours, 2×/month, at $32/hr. Assumes a 60% faster count, which is the minimum we saw in live venue trials. Adjust for your house.
