Stock Take Sheet
Count stock area by area and see the variance beside the count, so a stock take produces a number you can act on rather than a vague reassurance.

A free printable merch sales sheet for a band — stock counted in and out per item and size, comps noted, then a cash-up so the takings and the boxes agree.
One page. Choose your paper size — both versions are laid out identically, so neither one gets shrunk to fit.

The fillable versions have real form fields — open them in any PDF reader, type into them and save. Printing help.
Know exactly what sold and what the tin should hold at the end of the night, and see which sizes to reorder before the next run.
Bands, solo acts, tour managers and whoever is behind the merch table at a gig, festival or market.
One page, top to bottom:
Printed under the title: The merch table for one show — counted in before doors, counted out after the last sale, with the float, the takings and anything given away, so the money and the boxes agree. Prices are whatever you charge and the venue's cut is whatever was agreed; both are blanks.
Write-on lines: Band / act · Venue · Date · Seller · Float in · Card reader / account · Venue cut (if agreed) · Stock stored where
Table, 10 rows: Item · Size / variant · Price · In · Comped / given · Out · Sold · Takings
Write-on lines: Cash counted · Card total · Less float · Less venue cut · Net to band · Counted by · Checked by · Discrepancy / notes
Because prices are yours and a venue's cut, where there is one, is whatever was agreed for that night — there is no standard figure. Both are blanks to fill in before you start selling.
Use one sheet per show, and carry the count-out from one night as the count-in for the next. The comped column is what keeps the running total honest over a tour.
Count stock area by area and see the variance beside the count, so a stock take produces a number you can act on rather than a vague reassurance.
Keep one line per sale as it happens, with the payment recorded beside it, so the month adds up from something written on the day.
Run the night from one sheet: who is on next, what to plug in before they get there, and who takes the slot if someone does not show.
Know what you own, what went out in the van and what came back, and which cable failed so it is tested before it is packed again.
The same subject, with a version you can fill in on screen.
