How to run Bar Cop.
Step-by-step guides for every part of the app. Keep this open in a second window while you work, so you can follow along on your own screen.
Loss Prevention
Loss Prevention is a live leak detector, not a score. Its job is to catch theft on the shift it happens and walk you through investigating it, because that is what actually recovers money. Everything here reads from the data you already log.
1. Read what flagged
Open Profit Recovery → Loss Prevention. Three things are worth a look: drawer counts coming up short, flagged spot checks, and confirmed theft from the Adjustment Log. You see Today and the Last 7 Days for each. A red number under Today means it happened on this shift, so deal with it now, not in three months.
Per-server sales-pattern theft, no-sales, voids, comps, cash mix, is a deeper read off your POS sales report, so it lives on its own Sales Integrity screen.
2. Work a variance investigation
When a product does not add up, open an investigation and work the six steps. It pulls live count and spot-check data into the steps; you check them off and record findings. You do not have to finish in one sitting, every step and note saves as you go. Hit Save and Close to step away and pick it back up, or Resolve and Close only when you have reached a conclusion. A flagged spot check in Inventory opens one here for you.
3. Pull the loss brief
The Theft and Loss Brief generates a one-page 90-day PDF of every loss signal and your investigations, for an owner, bookkeeper, or insurance review. The 90-day window suits a review document; the live page above stays on the last 7 days.
