How to run Bar Cop.

The Bar Cop Audit
The Bar Cop Audit is the executive weekly read on your whole operation. The three Recovery Audits answer where the money is going; this one answers a different question, is the operation being run well, with discipline. It sits above the six systems and scores six operational areas on a 0 to 100 scale off the data you already log.
1. Open it from your Hub score
Click your Bar Cop Audit score at the top of the Hub. It scores your trailing 30 days, one read a week like the recovery audits, and there is no lock. It scores as soon as there is anything real to read, and each sub-score fills in as you log more, showing Not Enough Data until then.
2. Read the six sub-scores
Operational Discipline (are your daily and weekly procedures getting done), Cash Integrity (variance trend, drawer counts, cash drops), Inventory Execution (count frequency, discrepancy resolution, spot-check variance), Labor Hygiene (schedule adherence, callouts, overtime, certs, coaching), Recovery Action (gaps surfaced versus fixes logged versus dollars recovered), and Operational Consistency (week-over-week variance in stable metrics).
3. Work the exposures and patterns
The audit surfaces Top Operational Exposures, the items to address now, and Recurring Patterns, chronic issues showing up across rolling 90-day windows. The Bar Cop Briefing writes a short operator-voice read of the score, and Export PDF saves it.
Read it against your Recovery scores. A weak Recovery score with a strong Bar Cop Audit means the leaks are structural, not operational. A weak Bar Cop Audit with a passable Recovery score means the operation is losing ground that does not show on the weekly P&L yet. Most operators run both with the weekly close.
