Increased Stock Turnover (in days)?

Question

The stock turnover in a cafe has gone from 10 days last year to 40 days this year. What does that tell us about stock managment this year?

Answer 1

Same Questions == same answere :-)

It's got 4 times worse :-)

Most fresh food products have a shelf life of well under 40 days - if your stock turn is 40 days you have a real problem with out-of-date stock which is either costing you a fortune to throw away or is going to lead to the Cafe being closed by the Health Inspectorate very soon ...
