Stock Auditor Released

Saturday, November 21st, 2009

After several months of testing ( or prevarication/laziness/fannying around if you prefer :) ) our Stock Auditor software is ready for release.

We will start to ship on January 1st to coincide with the return of the VAT rate to 17.5%. Initially, Stock Auditor will only be available in single site version, the multi-site version for stocktakers will be available mid 2010.

We will deliver on disc or via e-mail, there is no difference in cost whichever delivery method is chosen. A single site bar stock only version will ship at £99 + VAT, adding a food stocktaking element will cost £25.

There will be a support forum on the website to answer any technical questions and to assist in the early days of using the software.

Regent Inns

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

Walkabout and Jongleurs oprator Regent Inns seem to be back in the game. There seems to have been a pre-pack deal that has enabled them to carry on trading, although without the right to operate the comedy club brand Jongleurs.

I wish them well, I still have some friends at Regent and some great memories of the Walkabout explosion.

There is something distasteful in the whole pre-pack business to my mind. Who would want to be a supplier with credit extended to a company that ceases and re-starts trading, with a clean sheet, in the same day?
