Back Office

The back office for your restaurant and bar.

Your POS runs the front and rings the sales. Bar Cop runs the back office, everything behind the register that decides whether those sales made money. Inventory, labor, cash, profit, and the books, in one system.

What It Means

The back office is where the money is won or lost.

The register is the easy part. It rings a sale and hands back change. The hard part is everything behind it: the pour cost on the drink, the labor on the shift, the vendor who crept your price up, the cash that has to reconcile at close, and the P&L that foots at month-end. That is the back office, and here it is in eight tools on one login.

It Is Not Your POS

The POS rings it. Bar Cop runs it.

Bar Cop is not a point of sale and does not try to be. Your POS keeps running the floor. Bar Cop sits behind it and works the numbers it throws off, reading the sales report your POS already exports. No integration to buy, and no POS you are locked out of.

It Is Not Your Accountant

It feeds the books, doesn't run them.

Accounting software keeps your ledger and files your taxes. Bar Cop runs the operating work in between: counting stock, catching leaks, pricing the menu, watching labor. Then it hands your bookkeeper a clean P&L, so they chase fewer numbers and cost you less.

It Is Not Five Apps

One back office, not a stack of logins.

The usual setup is an app for inventory, another for scheduling, another for events, and a spreadsheet for the rest. Every one a separate bill and login, none sharing a number. Bar Cop is all of it on one login, so one count feeds your pour cost, P&L, and cash at once.

One price. The whole back office is $249 a month per location, team included, against a separate bill for every app you would otherwise stack on the POS.
Straight Answers

The questions operators ask.

What a back office is, what it is not, and where it fits with what you already run.

What It Is
What is restaurant back office software?
Back office software is everything behind the register that decides whether your sales made money: inventory and pour cost, labor and scheduling, shift cash, profit recovery, cash flow, events, and the books. Your POS runs the front of house and rings the sales. The back office runs the numbers those sales throw off. Bar Cop is that back office, in one system, for independent bars and restaurants.
What does a back office include?
The controllable side of the business: inventory and pour cost, labor and tips, shift cash and voids, profit recovery, menu pricing and check average, cash flow, events and catering, and the weekly and monthly books. Bar Cop covers all of it in eight tools on one login, for one price.
Who is it for?
The independent operator, and the managers who run the floor with them. It is built for the person who watches the money on a single bar or a small group, not a corporate chain with a back-office department. Everything is one weekly close, not a full-time data-entry job.
Where It Fits
Does it replace my POS?
No. Your POS still rings the sales and runs the floor. Bar Cop runs alongside it and works the numbers the POS buries, your pour cost, your variance, your labor, your cash. It reads the sales report your POS already exports, so there is no integration to set up and no POS you are locked out of.
Is it the same as accounting software?
No. Accounting software keeps your ledger and files your taxes. Back office software runs the operation between the register and the ledger: counting inventory, catching leaks, pricing the menu, watching labor, reconciling cash. Bar Cop does that operating work and hands your accountant a clean P&L, it does not replace them.
What does it cost?
$249 a month per location, with your whole team included and no per-seat fee. One price for the entire back office, against a separate bill for every app you would otherwise stack on your POS. No setup charge, no contract, cancel any time.
