Restocking: Master Shopping Checklist (Printable Download)
Module 5: Team, Systems & Operations
A single master checklist keeps restocking consistent across every area of a short-term rental. You count your property first, because every quantity depends on guests, beds, bathrooms and bookings, then shop against one list and record where each item is stored. A monthly stock take shows whether your par levels are right: if items keep running out the par is too low, and if stock gathers dust it is too high.

Questions people ask
How often should I do a stock take at my Airbnb?
Monthly works well for most properties. Count what is on site against your par levels and order the difference so nothing runs out between turnovers.
Why count the property before buying supplies?
Quantities depend on the number of guests, beds, bathrooms, kitchens and bookings, so counting first stops you overbuying some items and running short on others.
