“I spent countless hours developing my own inventory system utilizing multiple linked spreadsheets and complicated formulas. At the end of each inventory period, I would print out all the various inventory logs for my managers to utilize in performing the inventory. Three or four managers would then go through the entire restaurant calling out liquors, beers and weighing kegs while one manager was writing all the numbers down on the inventory logs. All the partial bottles would then have to be added up and entered into the computer. Once these logs were completed, I would spend on average 6 to 7 hours compiling the data to come up with my inventory numbers. The end product looked real nice, but the human error element was tremendous. I had been aware of the AccuBar inventory system for quite some time, but always had been putting off making that initial call. Once I did make the call, I never looked back! Not only was the price considerably less than what I had anticipated, the level of service from the first call, to final implementation and technical troubleshooting (Yanni is great) has been excellent! The hardest part of the whole process was convincing the staff that this was going to be significantly easier for them and would ultimately save thousands of dollars in labor and increase accountability. Two days after I placed the order, the scanner arrived and within one week we had all the managers trained, our Aloha POS interfaced with AccuBar for both sales and virtual consumption and we were gathering live data daily with extreme ease. The inventory process is now streamlined to where I don’t have to get anything ready for inventory, one manager does all the inventory by himself in about one quarter of the time and once the inventory is uploaded, I have my final numbers within 5 minutes. Receiving inventories allows me to check prices and numbers on a daily basis and perpetual inventory allows us to spot check what should be on the shelves at any given time and greatly facilitate our ordering process. Several months after starting AccuBar in our first store, we purchased a second system for our second store. The great advantage here is that all the managers at the first store were so enthusiastic that selling the concept to the other managers was never an issue. The bar manager at the first store said “the system is so easy to use and versatile that it will even scratch your back if you want it to.” Secondly since I can’t be physically present at the second store as much as I would like to be, having the ability to upload the inventory numbers on a daily basis gives me much greater access and control. There are very few products that I have utilized in this industry that have saved me as many headaches, money and frustrations as AccuBar has. All future stores which I will open are going to have AccuBar as their only bar inventory system. Great product, great service, great price a definite must have in the bar and restaurant industry.”

“You guys are probably our favorite company we deal with in our entire system. The support from AccuBar has been unbelievable.”

“With the old system it would take up to six hours to count then enter the inventory. With AccuBar it takes less than an hour and a half from the start of counting until reports are in hand.”

“I geek out on that kind of stuff. Creating new categories was easy, adding new products was easy, along with getting it all organized how I wanted.”

“Because AccuBar has the ability to generate bar codes, I thought it might benefit our Executive Steward in her efforts to more quickly and more accurately conduct quarterly inventory of china, glassware, silver, and other equipment. This helps better track breakage, maintain par levels, and generate supplier orders based on each quarter’s variance in inventory.”

“I, as the instructor, use the iWineList daily during our pre-service meetings, Each day I sample 1-2 of our beverages (cocktails, cordials and beers included) to the current class of servers. The student servers use the iWineList both as a prompt of information during class, and even on their mobile device outside of the classroom and restaurant for furthering their knowledge.”

“I’m able to uncover plenty of problems when using Profit Watch, While we have very high volume bars with cases of product consistently moving in and out, we can quickly check each location and match up what we are missing. From there we can figure out which camera to review when going back to check on bartenders if they’re over-pouring or theft.”

“We’re excited about growing with AccuBar and very excited that AccuBar is innovating in new ways, AccuBar is a valuable and trusted partner in our business.”

“The tools it’s given us when used properly have allowed us sustainable growth with a very close eye on the bottom line. Though we now have a much larger operation, we are in touch with each store’s beverage program at just a click away. AccuBar will always be a necessary expenditure with all of our new store build outs.”

“The support team has been helpful and encouraging to new managers learning the system over the years. Turnover in management is expected and it is nice to have AccuBar support available to guide them through the system and the processes.”

“We use AccuBar for receiving and inventories with the Profit Watch Report, With our new brewery, we need to track what moves from the brewery to the bars. We have been able to tune our POS to AccuBar, so we reduced our pour cost tremendously.”

"When the prices we pay change, Profit Watch helps tell us how much of a margin we are or aren’t making. It also really helps us make sure there’s nothing miscounted or missing on a weekly basis."

“Thanks again for all your support, I couldn’t do what I’m able to do with 4 bars without AccuBar. Your product makes me look like a rockstar.”

“It seems rare that a product is all that it is advertised to be these days. AccuBar was introduced to me as a flexible inventory control system that would increase the accuracy of inventory while reducing staff time computing inventory, decrease staff time in computing banquet bar reconciliation, and potentially decrease cost of goods through added levels of control and oversight. In a 685-room test hotel, we not only found the above to be true, we expanded the functionality to include Starbucks inventory and control. The net results? Beverage cost dropped 2 points, cost of goods for Starbucks dropped 6 points and stabilized after a year of rollercoaster cost reporting. After substantially testing the AccuBar system, we have expanded the distribution of AccuBar to many of our larger, high volume, full service hotels throughout the country.”

“I’ve been a fan of AccuBar for years, and I love what it does for Margaritaville. For our restaurants, the advantage of having a product like AccuBar is that it truly takes the guesswork out of our inventory process. If we have a bar manager take inventory one week and an AGM the next week, we get the same results. Another thing I like about AccuBar is that every one of our restaurants uses it in a different fashion. Some use the full system, others just take beverage inventory, and one restaurants counts every single inventory item with AccuBar, including food and other items. As for the time we’ve saved on taking inventory, if it’s not cut in half, it’s more than half. One location shaves six hours off of inventory every week. Now that AccuBar interfaces with our back-of-house systems, it takes two minutes to input and get a nice clean report. The interface team was excellent and really enabled us to hit our goals. The handheld is incredibly easy to use, and updates are always available and easy to install. We’ve had one handheld running consistently since we bought it almost a year ago and it has held up great under heavy use. Your support team has been incredible. They have been able to quickly answer any question or concern that we might have. Overall, I’m very impressed with how your company has been able to offer such a solid combination of functionality, ease of use and support.”
