If your business utilizes stainless flatware, then it is best to have a plan on how much to have in stock. The experts at Walco Stainless offer the following flatware formula to figure out what flatware stock is needed to run your business smoothly. The table below is for a standard place setting found in most restaurants. It is suggested to have at least 25% more in reserve stock. This way when your supplies get super low, extras are there right at your fingertips.

How this Flatware Formula works:

1. Top column: Choose from the three categories the business model that best describes your size.
2. How many seats do you have? Take that number and multiply it by the number in the rows below. (You will note that each utensil may have a different quantity.)
