Does it pay for itself? One caught leak covers it.
Bar Cop runs about eight dollars a day. One recovered pour-cost point, one vendor creep caught early, or one overtime week seen coming covers the month on its own. The rest is money back in your pocket.
About eight dollars a day.
Less than one case of premium spirits, or a single comped tab on a Friday night. For everything Bar Cop does across all eight tools, it is the cheapest line on your P&L, and the only one built to pay itself back.
The math is not close.
None of these are best case. They are the ordinary leaks sitting in most bars right now. Any single one of them, caught once, is worth more than a month of Bar Cop, and it keeps paying every month after.
One point of pour cost.
Say your bar pours forty thousand a month in drinks and you pull pour cost down a single point. That is four hundred dollars a month back, off one fix Bar Cop hands you, and it repeats every month after. The subscription is $249, so you clear it on the very first point.
One vendor price creep.
A distributor slips your well vodka up a few dollars a case and nobody flags it at the door. Bar Cop catches the change the week it lands, so a few cases a week stops being a few hundred dollars a month you never saw walk out the back.
One week of overtime.
One shift runs long, another picks up a double, and Friday payroll lands three hundred dollars past plan. Bar Cop shows the overtime building on Wednesday, while you can still move a shift or send someone home, not after the checks are already cut.
A few underpriced plates.
Three plates on your menu slipped below cost by August because nobody re-ran the recipe math since winter. Bar Cop flags each one and hands you the price to charge. A dollar back on every plate, across a busy week, pays the whole month.
It can cut your other bills.
Already paying for an inventory app, a scheduling app, and a booking tool on top of your POS? Bar Cop does all three and five more for one price. Drop those subscriptions and the math flips, it puts money back before it ever recovers a dollar.
Bar Cop keeps its own tab.
You do not have to take any of this on faith. Bar Cop puts a dollar figure on every leak it finds and totals what you have pulled back so far, so at month end you can see for yourself whether it paid, right there in your own numbers.
