The prompt that gets copied

Here's today's stock count for [YOUR BUSINESS, e.g. a deli and catering kitchen]:
[PASTE OR ATTACH STOCK COUNT]

The minimum I like to keep of each item: [USUAL STOCK LEVELS, e.g. paste list or attach]
Big orders coming up: [BIG ORDERS, e.g. 60 sandwich platters Saturday]
My suppliers and order cutoffs: [SUPPLIER CUTOFFS, e.g. produce by Tue noon]

1. List every item below its usual level, with how much to order to get back up
2. Work out what the big orders need and add any shortfall
3. Group the reorder list by supplier, earliest cutoff first
4. Flag anything I might run out of before the next delivery
5. List anything in the count that looks like a typo or odd number

Use simple tables I can copy into an email or order form.

Paste or photograph your stock count and your usual levels. You get a reorder list by supplier, with what's running low and whether you'll have enough for big orders coming up.

  1. Count your stock or take clear photos of your count sheet.
  2. Paste the count, your usual levels and any big orders.
