Cocktail Bar Inventory Software for Craft Programs
Complex recipe costing, ingredient-level tracking, and precise pour cost management for mixology programs. Built for craft cocktail bars and speakeasies.
Challenges for Cocktail Bars
Complex Recipe Costing
Craft cocktails have 5-10+ ingredients each. Manual cost calculation is time-consuming and prone to errors that eat margins.
House-Made Ingredients
Syrups, infusions, bitters, and garnishes have production costs that are rarely tracked, making true pour cost calculation impossible.
Ingredient-Level Variance
Standard inventory systems track bottles, but cocktail bars need to know which specific ingredients are being over-poured or wasted.
