Restaurant Management and Bar Inventory Software.
Bar Cop counts your bar and kitchen, builds your orders and logs your deliveries. Everything else for the back office is optional. Use only what your bar needs to grow and leave the rest alone until you want it.
Bar inventory, ordering and deliveries.
Count your bar and kitchen on any device, in your own shelf order, using a fast and accurate slider. Bar Cop works out what you used and what it cost you for the week. Your order sheet fills itself automatically, so you always order the right amount, and every delivery is logged so a short case or a price rise gets caught instead of paid.
(optional)
Weekly sales, cost and labor reporting.
At the end of the week you add your sales and your hours to the count you already took. If your POS exports a sales and hours report, just drop the files in. You get what the week made, what it cost you in product and labor, and your prime cost, a few days after the week ends instead of a month later when the P&L shows up.

Operations, Profit, revenue & cash audits.
Run any of the four audits and Bar Cop scores your bar's overal performance, then lists every gap found and what each gap is costing you a month. It reads the numbers you have already entered, so there is no consultant to hire or visit to schedule. A consultant charges thousands to read your numbers. Run them yourself, as often as you want.
(optional)
Staff scheduling, tips and cash control.
Build your schedule, log your hours and tips, and count the drawer against the POS. If your POS exports an hours or tips report, drop the files in and you are done. If it does not track them at all, Bar Cop includes it for you. It adds the labor cost up as you go, flags overtime before the week is paid, and puts everything straight into your weekly numbers.

Menu costing, pricing & menu engineering.
Every menu item is costed off the prices already sitting on your inventory, then ranked on what each one earns you and how well they sell. When a vendor raises a price, every menu item that uses it moves with it, so you find out the week it happens rather than at the end of a quarter. You also see what a price change is worth before you decide to make it.
(optional)
Event bookings, catering and deposits.
Book the party, price it by the head, take the deposit and put it on the calendar. Bar Cop tracks every event and catering booking step by step. Know who has paid and what is still owed, all kept in one record that you work from the first call until the invoice is closed. Schedule the booking labor needed, email the agreement, handoff the run sheet.

Restaurant bookkeeping and forecasting.
Your income statement, your break-even number and your cash forecast all build themselves out of the weeks you have already closed and your expense files you simply drop in. Bar Cop is not accounting software and does not replace your bookkeeper. A button click gives them a clean file instead of a shoebox of receipts, saving you time and money.

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.

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