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.
Order to Par
Once your count is in, Bar Cop builds your order for you. It compares what is on hand against your pars, groups the order by vendor, and warns you before you send a short one.
Build and send an order
1. Open the Order Sheet
From the Inventory sidebar, open the Order Sheet after you have taken your count. Bar Cop suggests a quantity for each product off on-hand versus par, grouped by the vendor you buy it from.
2. Adjust the quantities
The suggested numbers are a starting point. Bump anything up for a busy week or an event you booked, and trim anything you are overstocked on. The vendor total runs as you go.
3. Watch the vendor minimum
If a vendor has an order minimum set, Bar Cop shows your running order against it and turns amber when you are short, for example "$70 under the $250 minimum." Add more of that vendor's below-par items to clear it in one delivery instead of paying twice. A free-delivery-over amount shows here too.
4. Send it
Send the order straight from the screen. Bar Cop saves it to Order History so you know what is on the way and what a vendor still owes you.
Set your pars first. The order is only as smart as your pars. If your suggested quantities look off, check your pars, or let Dynamic Pars set them off your real usage.
