“I knew I was having problems with inventory at my bar, but I didn’t know it was this bad. I am a small sports bar with one cash register (no POS system) and was taking a monthly inventory. I often would look at my Inventory and have no idea what I was looking at, and what to do with what I was looking at. I started using AccuBar on September 16th and my pour cost was at 34%, I knew this was way too high. The next week my pour cost went down to 24% and it has not gone above 25.8% since."

“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 have been in the food and beverage industry for the last 19 years. I have worked with various companies from restaurants, lounges, nightclubs and sports bars. Starting as a dishwasher to busboy, server to barback, bartender to manager and now general manager of a high volume sports bar. I have seen, worked with and developed the different practices of doing inventory (which I today believe is the most important and integral part of a successful company).As I (and most food and beverage managers) spend the majority of time dealing with inventory, you are always looking to increase efficiency. Spending a large amount of time with inventory, led the owner and I to not be able to focus on other important facets of our business. We decided to research for a more accurate, smarter and technological way of doing our inventory. After many Google searches and industry recommendations we landed upon AccuBar.I was originally stressed about having to implement an entire new system into our company but knew we needed to keep up with today’s competition. After being presented with the AccuBar product by their staff, it was such smooth sailing- seriously! Their customer service puts you at ease and helps you at every step.Using AccuBar has increased my understanding of how important inventory is to business. Most importantly, it gives me peace-of-mind knowing my inventory is precisely accounted for. One of my favorite things about using AccuBar for over a year now is having everything recorded and tracked online; therefore, anytime I need to go back and reference a price or a number – it’s right in front of me and easily readable.I would like to say thank you to the AccuBar engineers, sales staff and tech support for all your help and understanding to inventory as a whole. Being able to track my inventory and improve my pour cost, decrease my variances, order from my vendors with a single click and actually map my products through our POS has helped my restaurant in so many ways – especially time and profitability! The best part (besides the fun and time-saver of scanning barcodes) is keeping the owner happy by actually showing him the improvements through AccuBar’s tools and spreadsheets."

“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.”

“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, 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.”
