A fix is not a checklist you finish, it is a system you put in place and keep running. So Bar Cop does not ask you to tick boxes. For the work it can see, it reads your real data and shows whether the system is actually happening.

1. Open your Profit Systems

Open Profit Recovery → Profit Fix. Each system is one leak. The ring and status read off live data, how many of the watched steps are on track. Open one and its fix expands in place, so you move between systems without leaving the page. A system reads On track only while every watched step is current; the moment one lapses it tells you how many steps are slipping or behind.

2. Know watched steps from guidance steps

Watched steps are the work Bar Cop can verify, with a live status of On track, slipping, or behind, plus when it was last done and how often it should happen. You cannot fake a counted drawer or a logged comp. Guidance steps are the handful of things Bar Cop genuinely cannot see, a signed paper policy, the jigger pour-test on the floor. They matter, but they are never counted as proof, so nobody passes a system by clicking a box.

3. Read the Watch Out For notes

At the bottom of each system are the mistakes that quietly break its numbers, the things Bar Cop itself cannot catch for you. Worth a read before you chase a number that looks off.

4. Watch the recovery build

There is no start button. The moment you do the first tracked step, Bar Cop logs that day and measures from there, taking your own first few weeks as the baseline. The See Your Recovery Timeline button opens a chart of your recovered dollars building from zero to now, week by week.

Early on there is not enough logged to call anything recovered, and Bar Cop says so plainly instead of inventing a figure. The recovery number reads against where you started, not a guess.
