Day-to-day operating brief

What Stock Controller (Retail products) work looks like in practice

A Salon Stock Controller manages professional-use chemicals, consumables and retail products whose batches, expiry, storage and availability affect both service delivery and sales. The role receives deliveries, separates tester or back-bar stock, sets reorder levels, investigates variance and supports product recalls. Terms should identify systems, stores, ordering and spend limits, keys, stocktakes, supplier communication, hazardous-product controls, discounts and reporting of theft or damage. Back-bar issues should show which product moved to which treatment area and why. Usage patterns can then reveal leakage, incorrect dispensing or unexpected demand without assuming every inventory difference is theft. Supplier credits should link returned quantity, batch and original receipt to the finance record. Replacements arriving later need a fresh receipt check rather than being netted invisibly against the earlier shortage.

Responsibilities reflected in the contract

  • Receive inspect and record deliveries.
  • Maintain batch expiry and location data.
  • Replenish retail and treatment stock.
  • Run counts and investigate variance.
  • Quarantine recalls and damaged goods.
  • Prepare authorised orders and returns.

A realistic working scenario
