Run Audit is where Bar Cop grades your operation. There are four audits behind the one rail row, they all score off numbers you have already put in, and none of them needs a file dropped or a waiting period.

What it is for

Every bar has leaks and most operators know it. What they cannot usually say is which one is worth their Tuesday. That is the question these four answer, in dollars, off your own weeks.

Three of them look for money in a particular area. The fourth looks at whether the place is being run with discipline, which is a different question and sometimes a more useful one. A bar can have good numbers and poor habits for a while.

Nothing to upload, nothing to wait for

Run any of them whenever you want a fresh read. Bar Cop keeps one audit a day per kind, so your history is a trend rather than a pile of runs from the same afternoon, and the Audit History list reopens any past run.

Operations Audit

The read on how well the whole place is being run. It scores your trailing 30 days from what you already log across Inventory, The Floor and your closed weeks.

Six sub-scores:

• Operational Discipline. Are the daily and weekly procedures getting done: checklists, counts and spot checks on schedule, shifts logged, maintenance backlog kept clear, pre-shift briefings held.
• Cash Integrity. Cash variance trend against revenue handled, a drawer counted every operating day, cash dropped on the shifts that take real money.
• Inventory Execution. Counts and spot checks on schedule, vendor discrepancies resolved rather than aging, spot checks coming back clean.
• Labor Hygiene. Scheduled hours matching actual, call-outs and overtime under control, certifications current, coaching notes written.
• Recovery Action. Whether you acted on what the other three audits surfaced, and how much of what you did produced real favourable movement.
• Operational Consistency. How steady the place runs week to week. Low swing in covers, labor percent and pour cost over the last eight weeks is the mark of a disciplined bar.

Operational Health at the top is the average of the sub-scores that have enough behind them. It needs at least three of the six covered before it shows a number at all.

You do not log a fix, you make one

Recovery Action counts what actually happened, not what you ticked. Marking a reprice live in Menu Engineering logs one. So does working a gap the audits raised. There is no separate screen where you record that you did something, because a list of things somebody said they did is not evidence and Bar Cop would rather measure the number moving.

The three panels under the score

Recovery Activity tracks whether the loop is moving: gaps surfaced by your latest audits, what you have done in the last 30 days, dollars recovered to date, and the work still being measured before its result is in.

Top Operational Exposures is the action list, worst first. Red is act now, like an aging vendor credit or a permit about to lapse. Amber is a watch. Open jumps you to the exact screen.

Recurring Patterns is what a single week hides, over a rolling 90 days: the same cashier short again and again, voids stacking on one shift type, chronic shrinkage on one product, labor blowing out on the same day every week. One short drawer is a night. The same person short six times is a conversation.

Profit Audit

What you paid for what you sold, and what left without being sold. Five areas:

• Pour and Bar Cost
• Food Cost
• Shrink and Waste
• Theft and Cash Loss
• Vendor Cost Control

It reads your counts, your logs and your closed weeks. Nothing here is typed, which is why it is quiet in week one and sharper every week after.

Revenue Audit

Whether you are selling the right things, at the right price, to enough people. Five areas:

• Check Average and Revenue
• Labor Efficiency
• Menu Performance
• Server Performance
• Events and Private Dining

It reads your priced menu items and their units sold, your logged server checks, your hours, and your completed events. An area with none of that behind it is left out rather than guessed at.

Cash Audit

Not what you earned, but where the money actually is. Four sections:

• Capital Efficiency. How hard the cash on your shelves is working, by turns and by the dead stock dragging it.
• Cash Conversion Cycle. How many days your money stays locked from buying product to selling it, net of the days you take to pay.
• Liquidity and Runway. Whether the thirteen weeks ahead hold, and how long your cash covers you.
• Payment Terms. Whether you are keeping your float instead of paying early.

The opportunity figure at the top is cash you can free right now, the dead stock plus the overstock above par. It is a one-time amount, not a saving that repeats, and it is labelled that way.

A fifth block, Cash Risk Signals, flags the cross-cutting risks the four scores do not isolate on their own, like a crunch coming in the next thirteen weeks.

Set your opening balance on Cash Position, in Books, and the runway becomes a real number instead of a shape.

What all four refuse to do

An area with nothing real behind it is marked not enough data and left out of the maths, never counted as a zero. A barely-used system cannot drag down a score it could not see, and a sub-score needs at least two scorable components before it shows a number at all. One signal is not a verdict.

That is why an early audit comes back with some sections scored and others blank. It is the design working, not a failure, and it is why your score moves as you feed it rather than starting low and climbing on its own.

Some readings are shown as a review rather than a dollar figure, on purpose. A ratio is not cash. You cannot recover a percentage, and turning one into a headline dollar is how software ends up promising money that was never on the table. Where Bar Cop cannot honestly price something, it says so.

The briefing and the history

Bar Cop Briefing is a short written read of the whole thing, and Export PDF saves it as a document you can hand to somebody.

Every screen here has its own step-by-step directions in the app. Open the screen and tap the i in the top bar.
