The Difference

A POS integration is a project. This is a file drop.

A live POS integration

Weeks and money

Buy a connector, or a service to run one for you Wait on logins, permissions and somebody technical Built for one POS, so it ties you to that POS Stops working the week your POS updates itself

With Bar Cop

Minutes, no cost

Run a report your POS already has built in Drop the file and check the columns once Any POS that exports a report, just works Nothing is connected, so nothing can break

Works With What You Run

Toast, Square, Lightspeed, Aloha, Clover. And every other POS too.

Bar Cop never asks which POS you run. It reads a CSV or Excel file, and every one of these exports both, so the brand on your terminal decides nothing. The ones below are simply what operators bring in most, and a POS that is not among them imports the same way.

Any POS That Exports

How The Import Works

Four steps, a few minutes of your time.

Bar Cop reads the header row and picks the columns it knows, so the first import is a check rather than a form to fill in. Fix anything it got wrong and that layout saves to your account, so every drop after it lands with the columns already set, on any computer you log in from. That is when a few minutes becomes seconds.

1Run the report. Pull the sales report your POS already has, for the dates you want, and save it as CSV or Excel.
2Drop the file. Drag it onto the page. Bar Cop reads it as it came off the POS, with zero tidying up needed first.
3Check the columns. They are already picked. Change any that are wrong, once, and Bar Cop keeps that layout.
4Read it before it saves. Every row is listed with what will happen to it. Nothing is written until you press the add button.

Weekly Sales

Your sales report becomes the week.

Drop your sales by day export when you close out the week and Bar Cop reads a day off each row, or type the days into that same row if your POS has nothing worth exporting. If a day in the file disagrees with one you typed, Bar Cop asks you which figure wins rather than picking for you.

Hours And Tips

Timeclock and tip exports.

Drop your weekly timeclock file and every row is matched to a person on your roster and to their pay rate before anything saves. A name that is not on the roster is listed, never guessed at. And if your POS does not track tips, Bar Cop does, and you log the week's tips by hand instead.

Per-Server Sales

Rank every server by check average.

A per-server sales export lands every server's covers and sales in one drop, and the check average comes out per guest rather than per ticket. The same file drives Integrity Review, which measures each server on voids, comps, refunds and cash mix and names the ones that do not add up.

Product Mix

Menu engineering off item sales report.

A menu cannot be ranked until Bar Cop knows what sold. Drop your product mix export, each line is matched to your menu builder list by name, and that is what turns on Stars, Plowhorses, Puzzles and Dogs. With no such report, you type the week's units sold onto the menu item yourself.

Voids, Comps And Cash

Void, comp and drawer reports too.

A voids and comps export files each one against the server who rang it. A cash or drawer report brings your over and short in already worked out, and a register your drawer report calls something else is matched to yours once and then remembered. No POS report for these? Both can be logged by hand instead.

Setting Up

Build your menu and products from a file.

Day one is a file drop as well. Bring your menu in off a POS item list, or your bottles, kegs and cases in off a vendor order guide, instead of typing hundreds of lines one at a time. Same drop file process, same column check, same review before adding a single row. See how importing your product list works.

No POS login, no API key, no connector. The report your POS already writes is the whole bridge between the two, which is why a POS Bar Cop has never seen behaves the same as one it has. No connection issue worries, just drop a file, review, add, done.

Straight Answers

The POS questions, answered.

What operators ask before they hand a tool their sales.

Does Bar Cop integrate with my POS?

Not through a connection, and that is on purpose. Bar Cop reads the reports your POS already exports as a CSV or Excel file, so there is no API key, no POS login and nothing for anybody to set up. You run a report, drop the file in, and the numbers land.

Which POS systems does Bar Cop work with?

Any POS that can export a report as a CSV or Excel file, which is nearly all of them, Toast, Square, Lightspeed, Aloha and Clover included. Nothing in the import asks which POS made the file, so a system nobody has heard of behaves exactly like one everybody has.

Do I have to switch my POS to use Bar Cop?

No, and Bar Cop never touches it. There is nothing to rip out, no plan to upgrade and no contract to renegotiate, because the only thing that ever crosses between the two is a report file you download yourself and hand over.

What file types can Bar Cop import?

CSV and Excel: .csv, .xlsx and .xls. Files split by semicolons or tabs are read too, which is what Excel writes outside the US, and a report with a title block sitting above its headings is handled rather than refused. Dates come in as dates, not as the serial numbers Excel turns them into.

What if my POS report uses different column names?

Bar Cop reads the header row and picks the columns itself, and it knows a wide list of names for each one, so most files arrive already matched. Anything it missed is a dropdown holding every column in your file. Set it once and that layout saves to your account.

Which POS reports does Bar Cop actually use?

Sales by day for the weekly close, a timeclock export for hours, a tips export, a per-server sales report, a product mix or item sales report, a voids and comps export, and a cash or drawer report. Sales is the only one most bars drop every week.

What if my POS will not export one of those reports?

Then you keep that piece by hand and nothing else changes. Everywhere a file can be dropped there is a form beside it: sales typed in by day, hours in Log Hours, tips in Tip Tracking, drawer counts in Cash Control. If your POS does not track tips, Bar Cop does.

Will importing a file twice count everything twice?

No. A row that is already logged is spotted and counted as a repeat instead of added again, and a report that lists one day several times, split by daypart or by revenue center, is added up into that single day. Dropping a file a second time is safe.

What happens when rows do not match something?

Nothing is saved until you have looked at it. Every row the file holds is listed with what will happen to it, and anything that did not match a person on your roster or an item on your menu is named and left out rather than guessed at. Add the name and drop the file again.

How often do I have to import anything?

Once a week, and only the sales report. The rest are there when you want them and cost you nothing on the weeks you skip them, so a bar can run on one file a week and pick the others up whenever it suits. Nothing has to be dropped shift by shift.
