Set up in an afternoon. Running by the end of the week.
There is no install, no setup call, and no months-long onboarding. Add your products, take a count, close a week, and Bar Cop is running on your real numbers. This is what the first week looks like, step by step.
Your first week, step by step.
Five steps from signing up to running your bar on real numbers. None of them take longer than a normal shift, and most of the work is a one-time setup you never repeat.
Sign up and add your bar.
Pick your plan, add your location, and you are in. No install and no setup call, Bar Cop runs in your browser, so you are working within minutes.
Load your products and menu.
Add your products and menu once. Most operators drop them in from a POS export or an order guide instead of typing, so setup is an afternoon, not a project.
Take your first count.
Count what is on the shelf the way you already do, and Bar Cop turns it into real pour cost. Your first count is the line everything measures against from here.
Close your first week.
Drop your POS sales, reconcile the drawer, log your hours, and confirm the week. That one sitting sets your baseline and the leaks start showing up in dollars.
You are live.
From here it is one weekly sitting. Each week sharpens the numbers and builds your recovery, and you are running on real data instead of a gut feel.
You get value from the first count.
You do not need a year of history or a perfect setup to start. The first count already shows your real pour cost and where it sits against target, so you are learning something the same day. Every week after that sharpens the picture and builds the recovery number.
Help is a click away.
Every screen in Bar Cop has plain directions built in, and the Help Center walks through each system step by step. If something does not add up, the answer is right there, not a support ticket you wait on for days.
