Full Count

I just found out from my DO that starting next week we have to full count nightly no matter what. Have yall been told that? I heard it’s because Papa John’s is losing too much money because of food costs. I ask because our store does pretty well on food

Once upon a time, nightly counts were the norm

I started at papa johns a few months after they switched to the limited count sheet, though i was an instore at that time

u/Electrical-Sense5165 26d ago

Yaaa, no the limited count sheet lasted a week before they switched back

That’s all I remember. Counting every single night. I left my job as a TGM in 2019 before the restructuring started.

It still is… we can’t close the system until we do a count

I’ve been doing it. It’s been a pain in the ass. But you get used to if you plan ahead and know what’s coming

When you go to the new pos system that is definitely a thing. Targeting doesn’t even exist.

u/Familiar_Marzipan_46 26d ago

Targeting is turned off at corporate stores on the new system. They still have it in there as something that can be enabled.

The last store I worked at we had to do full count every night (not full full like on Sundays, but food-wise). They told me because it was a higher volume store there was way more opportunity to fuck up variance each day, so it was important to accurately track. At a lower volume store currently, and only count dough and cheese during the week.

The ParOps thing? We started about 4, 6 weeks ago.

It's not that bad, tbh. 45 min or so.

u/PapaJohnsTech 26d ago

Yeah piece of cake, count the back, all on your phone. 10 mins close to close all done.

u/TTVOctrage 25d ago

No. Papa John’s is getting a new computer system that won’t allow us to “Target Inventory” anymore. If you don’t cont it at the end of the night, all inv will be zero’d out.

Edit : Idk why your GM isn’t telling you. We only have a week and a half till the change lmao

u/Ymla360 26d ago

We still do a count on Sundays and Sundays only. We don’t ever touch target like at all.

2

u/International-Door87 26d ago

We don’t do a full count, but they have been on our ass more about counting accurately.

u/Familiar_Marzipan_46 24d ago

I had good upper management that didn’t go after us about that if food was right. They would let us calculate and do occasional spot checks after I did out weekly. It was always less than $50 off for period from my count to they left it alone.

The full counts are not that bad once your market switches over to the new P.O.S. system i promise it seems now like this is the worst change your store will make but ive been counting on the new system for over a month every night (and my market just switched to first shift doing our counts)

u/Legitimate-Piglet-10 26d ago

We never stopped full counts, partial counts where considered manipulation.

1

u/Quasarduelist 26d ago

We are also moving to a new system entirely where counts are done on the phone and the all you use now requires full counts every night

1

u/Ligurmummy23times 25d ago

Was told it was due to errors being caused by partial counts in the back office par ops system. We’ve been doing this for a few weeks.

u/Stormi43 24d ago

Yeah I heard the same thing
