Running a bar or restaurant can be a seamless process, when you have the right tools to support you and your team. A bar inventory app is one of those tools and can be an incredibly effective way to manage your bar’s inventory.

But what exactly is a bar inventory app?

A bar inventory app is a mobile phone application that enhances how you manage your bar’s inventory - automating processes and giving you insightful data that makes your business more profitable. Most apps are available for iPhones and iPads, as well as Android phones and tablets, and are designed to help restaurants and bars keep track of and manage their bar inventory.

Bar / beverage inventory apps offer similar features to inventory management desktop software, but they make the information accessible from your mobile phone. This can help with inventory counts, on the spot decision making, and gives you access to insightful metrics when you need them.

How a bar inventory app will help your business

One of the biggest benefits of a bar inventory management app or software is that they automate complicated calculations. 

Proper inventory management requires multiple formulas and calculations to keep track of quantities on hand. Even more math is involved when trying to use that data to calculate important KPIs, such as inventory usage, PAR levels and product shrinkage. While this can be done manually, it does significantly increase the risk of errors and miscalculations.

Bar inventory apps do this math for you. Once the calculations are complete, your app will take all the data and compile it into valuable reports that can provide important insights into your inventory and your business. And it does it all seamlessly in one centralized platform.

This can help you increase profit margins by:

  • Improving decision making.
  • Allowing you to make better use of inventory.
  • Helping you understand what drives sales.
  • Uncovering opportunities to make more money.
  • Reducing waste.

In addition to reducing errors and providing valuable information, a bar inventory app can help reduce the time you spend managing your bar inventory. This is especially true when you integrate your bar inventory app with barcode scanners, bookkeeping records, POS and other technologies.

Inventory bar apps also help simplify and optimize your ordering processes. That’s because these apps usually allow you to set your replenishment levels for each product. Once a product hits its replenishment point, it will be included in a purchasing report that you can use to place your next order.
