Bar & Restaurant Software Since 2004

Your POS rings the sales.
Bar Cop runs the business.

One system for inventory, labor, shift, profit, revenue, cash, events, and books. Close your week, see every leak in real dollars, and take back the money your POS reports were never built to show you.

Two Jobs, One Bar

One rings it. Bar Cop runs it.

Your POS is built to close the check and move to the next table. It rings the sale and reports what sold, but it never touches your costs, your labor, or your leaks. Bar Cop runs all of that, so the check actually turns into money you keep.

Bar Cop Close The Week
The Systems

Eight tools. One system.

Three capture what happens on the floor. Three turn it into money you take back. Two run your events and your books. All eight share one weekly close and one set of numbers, so your operation runs as one system, not eight apps that never talk.

The Audits

Run an audit any time. As many as you want.

Bar Cop scores your operation off your own logged data, ranks every gap by what it is costing you, and tells you where to start. Run the Bar Cop Audit for overall discipline, or a Profit, Revenue, or Cash audit for the dollars. There is no monthly wait and no consultant.

Proof It Worked

Watch the money come back.

Mark a fix done and Bar Cop compares your weekly average before and after, then reports the exact dollars you pulled back. No projection and no consultant's slide, just the real money, measured against your own numbers.

Pour cost dropped from 27.6% to 23.8% once the fix was logged. The average check climbed from $34.10 to $37.60 as servers ran the upsell. That swing is where the $8,738 came from.

★★★★★
Within the first month of using Bar Cop our bar sales jumped about 12% after catching some employees that were stealing. If you care about stopping theft, you need this.

We've been using Bar Cop for over 10 years. It has worked flawlessly and does exactly what you would expect and want it to do: drive revenue and reduce COGS.

We have been using Bar Cop for about 3 years and LOVE it! It has saved us more time and money than we could have imagined, and brought real accuracy to tracking inventory.

Ashley Manager, The Castle Pub
2 years on Bar Cop

We tried other programs that didn't live up to expectations. Bar Cop is not only user friendly, it gives us the data we need!

Kathy Owner, TJz Bar & Restaurant

I have tried other software over the years, but hands down Bar Cop is the superior inventory manager. Highly recommended.

Billy Partner, Kahuna Burger Bar

Questions

Answers before you start.

What Bar Cop is, how it works, and what it costs, straight.

Bar Cop Basics
What is Bar Cop?
Bar Cop is bar and restaurant management software for independent operators. Your POS rings the sales; Bar Cop runs everything that decides whether those sales made money, inventory, labor, shift cash, profit, revenue, cash flow, events, and your books, closed one week at a time.
Who is Bar Cop for?
Independent bars, restaurants, and pubs, and the operators, owners, GMs, and bookkeepers who run them. It is built for the person who actually runs the floor and watches the money, not a corporate chain with a back-office team.
Does Bar Cop replace my POS?
No. Your POS still rings the sales and runs the floor. Bar Cop works alongside it and catches what the POS buries, your pour cost, your variance, the voids and comps, the leaks. You import your POS numbers where it helps and Bar Cop turns them into money you can recover.
What POS systems does Bar Cop work with?
Any of them. Bar Cop is POS-agnostic. Where a POS export saves you time you drop the file in; where it does not, you key the numbers by hand. There is no integration to set up and no POS you are locked out of.
Pricing
How much does Bar Cop cost?
$249 a month per bar, or $2,490 a year, which is two months free. One flat price for all eight tools, unlimited audits, your books, and every future update. No tiers, no add-ons, no setup fees, cancel any time.
Is there a free trial?
The live demo is your free trial, a complete, fully-loaded bar you can walk through with no signup and no card. See every screen working before you decide.
How It Works
How does Bar Cop work?
You close your week in one sitting: count inventory, log hours and tips, reconcile cash, and confirm your sales. Bar Cop scores your operation, prices every leak in real dollars, and points you at the biggest one. Fix it, and it measures the money you pulled back.
What is Close the Week?
Close the Week is the weekly rhythm the whole system runs on. Instead of daily busywork, you sit down once at the end of the week, put the numbers in, work your biggest leak, and everything, the Hub, the audits, and your books, updates from the week you just closed.
What is a Bar Cop Audit?
An on-demand score of your operation off your own logged data. It ranks every gap by what it is costing you a year and tells you where to start. Run the Bar Cop Audit for overall discipline, or a Profit, Revenue, or Cash audit for the dollars, any time, with no monthly wait and no consultant.
Do I need an accountant or a consultant?
Keep the accountant or bookkeeper you already use. Bar Cop makes them cheaper by handing over a clean month-end file instead of a mess to sort out. A consultant is what you do not need. Bar Cop scores your operation and prices every leak off your own numbers, on demand, so nobody has to tell you what your numbers already say.
Getting Started
How do I get started?
Watch the live demo, then create your account, add your bar, and start closing your weeks. Setup is entering your products, staff, and vendors once, and Bar Cop builds on it from there.
Is my data mine, and can I export it?
Yes. Your data is yours. You can export your books and reports any time, and the owner can pull a full backup of the account in one file whenever you want.
