The hidden cost of poor inventory management in beverage

Craft beverage producers face a unique inventory crisis. While the industry average shows 50% of small businesses struggle with cash flow, breweries and wineries experience even greater challenges due to perishable ingredients and lengthy production cycles.

Between grain storage costs, tank capacity constraints, and product spoilage, poor inventory management typically consumes 25-45% of your potential profits annually. For craft beverage makers, the pain is twofold: excess raw materials tie up capital, while stockouts of popular brews or vintages can cost you 15-30% in missed sales opportunities. This double-edged inventory challenge is often the difference between expansion and stagnation.

The real tragedy? Most craft beverage producers don't recognize these hidden costs until they're struggling to fund their next seasonal release or equipment upgrade.
