The Neat Profit

Bar Inventory App for Catering Companies

Catering bars are mobile—inventory moves between warehouse, truck, and event site. Here's how The Neat Profit tracks it all.

Catering Bar Inventory Challenges

  • Mobile inventory — Stock moves between warehouse, truck, and event site
  • Event-based usage — All inventory is consumed during events
  • Per-event costing — Need to cost each event separately
