Bar and restaurant audits, run as often as you want.

Bar Cop scores how your place is performing in four categories: operations, profit, revenue and cash. Audits score off the numbers you already put in, and price the gaps they find in recoverable dollars.

Bar Operations Audit

Score how tightly your bar is run.

Six areas scored to 100: whether the daily jobs get done, how cash is handled, how well the counting is done, hours and overtime, whether anyone acted on the last audit, and how steady you are week to week. The operations audit reads the most history of the four, so it takes about 30 days of data to dial in your operations completely.

Bar Cop Operations Audit
Bar Profit Audit

Find where your profits are leaking.

Five areas scored to 100: pour and bar cost, food cost, shrink and waste, theft and cash loss, and what your vendors have been doing to your prices. Every profit gap comes back with a recoverable dollar figure beside it, with the worst gaps listed first so you are not left guessing which one is worth tackling first.

Bar Revenue Audit

Check average, menu & staff performance.

Five areas scored to 100: your check average, whether your labor hours are earning what they cost, which menu items are carrying the place, how each server is actually selling, and what your private events bring in. This is the audit that shows you where the money never arrives in your place, which is harder to spot than money going out.

Bar Cop Revenue Audit
Bar Cash Audit

Cash tied up in stock, and your runway.

Four areas scored to 100: how hard your money is working, how long it sits on the shelf before it sells, how many weeks of cover you are holding, and the vendor terms you are paying on. It is the audit for the week that looked fine on paper and still left you watching the bank balance wondering where the available cash had gone.

Audit Breakdown

Every section scored with findings.

Alongside the main audit score, every section is scored on its own, line by line, showing you how your place is running in that specific area. Findings show you the section's main issues and what you can prioritize on your next list of things to tackle. Work on the findings, then run a new audit and watch the scores start moving in the right direction.

Audit History

Every audit run, and which way it moved.

Each audit run is saved to history: a quick glance shows the date, the score, and how many points it moved against the audit run before it. A score that held steady reads zero points rather than a blank, so you can tell one that is holding from one there is nothing to compare against yet. Click view to revisit a past audit to compare.

Straight Answers

Questions about the audits.

What operators ask before they run their first one.

Is this the same as an accounting audit?
No, and it has nothing to do with tax. Nobody is examining your books. This is Bar Cop reading the numbers you already put in and scoring how the place is running, so you can see what is costing you money before anyone else has to point it out.
How often can I run one?
As often as you like. There is no limit, no run cost, and nothing to book. Bar Cop keeps one record per day, so running it twice in an afternoon replaces the earlier result rather than filling your history with duplicates.
Does somebody come out and do this?
No. There is no consultant, no site visit and no appointment. You press a button and the result is on screen, which is the difference between an audit you run when you want one and an audit you wait for.
Which audit should I run first?
Profit, in most bars, because every one of its checks is met by something you were going to do anyway: a count, some hours, a delivery logged, a drawer reconciled, one confirmed week. The Operations Audit asks for the most, so leave that one until you have a few weeks behind you.
What do I need before one is worth running?
A closed week and a count. The audits read what you have already logged, so the more weeks and counts behind you, the more of the bar they can score. You do not have to set anything up first.
What happens if I have not logged much yet?
It still runs, and it tells you what it was working from. Anything Bar Cop cannot measure yet reads Not Applicable and stays out of the score, and the result carries a badge saying whether it was full, partial or limited data. You never get a confident number built on nothing.
Does it tell me what to fix first?
Yes. Alongside the score you get a list of what each gap is costing you a month, ranked biggest first, so the top line is where the money is. You pick what to chase from there.
Does the scoring use AI?
No. All four are ordinary code doing arithmetic on your own numbers, and the sentences that come back are written by that same code. Nothing is handed to a language model, which is why a run costs nothing and gives you the identical answer twice on identical data.
Can a manager run an audit?
Yes, if you grant it. Run Audit is one of the sections you can hand somebody, either whole or by the individual links inside it, and it is set per bar. A manager with that access runs the same audit you would and sees the same result.
What counts as a good score?
Seventy is the line Bar Cop draws. Above it an area is holding, below it there is something worth working. The number on its own matters less than which way it is going, so what you are really watching is whether last month's biggest gap is smaller this month.
