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.

server check

Server Check turns each server's covers and sales for a shift into a check average and tracks every server against your target. Comps pull in from Shift Control's Void and Comp log and tips from Tip Tracking, so you never enter the same number twice.

1. Log a check

Open Revenue Recovery → Server Check. Pick the date, shift, and server, enter covers and total sales, and the check average shows live against target before you save. An open shift for that date and service period links automatically. If your POS exports a per-server sales report, drop it at your Shift weekly close and every server's covers and sales land here at once. Worksheet prints a blank sheet to capture checks on paper during service.

2. Read the scorecard

The chips set the window, the last 7, 30, or 90 days, or all time, and the team average, top performer, who is trending down, and the spread top to bottom all reflect it. Per server you get check average against target and against the team, covers, sales, comps and tips as a percent of sales, and a trend arrow comparing the last 7 days to the prior 7. TOP and DOWN call out the leader and anyone slipping.

3. Coach from the numbers

Add a coaching note on any row and it logs on that server in Labor Control, so a slipping check average and the conversation about it live on the same record. Edit loads a logged check back into the form to correct it, and Delete removes a row.
