Dunkin's Inventory management


Inventory is goods and materials, or those goods and materials themselves, held available in stock by a business. In business management, inventory consists a list of goods and materials that are held in stock for business.

Dunkin' Donuts has more than 1,000 donut varieties along with other products.

By working for the Franchise, I noticed that most of the time the Inventory Managers use the "Periodic" system to manage the weekly inventory. The store that i work for has goods for every 5 to 4 days and that is how the Periodic system works in more of the Dunkin Donuts or Baskin robins. They use this system also to handle their other miscellaneous goods and materials.
