It clarifies that stock counts tell Toast what you actually have on hand so Toast can compare it to the system prediction and identify potential variances. After onboarding, you should first set up item locations to match how your team divides counting work, then create count templates that define what and how often to count, using rules when possible. When the count is generated, multiple people can count different locations simultaneously, and after submission Toast shows the actual versus theoretical variance to investigate mismatches.
