The way Bar Patrol Inventory App integrates with POS systems is you simply export your sales data from your POS to Excel and it uploads instantly into Bar Patrol. 

Yes! Bar Patrol is available on both iOS (Apple) and Android devices. Head to the Apple or Google Play app store to download the app for free.

We are an independent company helping independent bar and restaurant owners succeed. What that means is, we did not raise millions of dollars and hire hundreds of sales people and rent out expensive office buildings like many of our competitors, which would then force us to charge a high price to pay for our bloated company and make our investors happy. We have a small, crackerjack team located in the San Francisco Bay Area. We are experts, we are lean, and we have no debt or investors to answer to. Because of that, we are able to a provide a premium software for a fair price everyone can afford.

Nope. No contracts, cancel at any time.

We do not offer any trials, simply because we already offer the top-of-the-line inventory system for the lowest price on the market. If you look around you’ll find other bar inventory systems that do the exact same thing as Bar Patrol Inventory App but cost anywhere from $150 – $400 per month. 

However, we do not require any contracts and you’re welcome to cancel at any time.

Absolutely. This is one of the coolest features, because not only can multiple people count on multiple devices at the same time, but inside each location, all products will be repeated in the last order counted to save you even more time.

Let’s use an example: let’s say you currently take inventory with a spreadsheet, or something similar, and it takes you 2 hours to take inventory. With one person counting, you can cut the time in half to 60 minutes. With two people counting, you could do it in 30 minutes. With three people, 20 minutes. You get the point. You know how to do math.

There is nothing more accurate for weighing partial bottles than the Bluetooth scale, with only about a 2 % margin of error. It’s far more accurate than point counting, as well as the little slider you may have seen on other apps.

Our super-awesome, super-sexy Bluetooth inventory scale makes weighing bottles extremely fast and accurate. Simply put the bottle on the scale and hit “Enter”.

The Bluetooth scale is a one-time cost of $129, or $159 if shipped outside the U.S.  Click here to check out the bluetooth scale.

Nope. You are welcome to point-count if you’d like. It’s totally up to you.

There are a number of ways to count your partial kegs. If you’re going to weigh your kegs, you can buy a keg scale, but they cost around $250 – $300. Instead, we recommend buying a simple digital bathroom scale for around $20 and it will work just as well. Simply place the keg on the scale, enter the pounds into the app and it knows exactly how much is in there based on the full and empty weight of the keg (you can find the keg weights in our tutorial library).

The other ways to count partial kegs (which are far less accurate), are to shake them and guess, or you can leave the keg cooler door open for a few minutes and you will eventually be able to see a condensation line form on the keg, which is the level where the beer is at. Then you would enter a point count number for each keg (0.4, for example).

Absolutely. If you want to count old school because that’s the way you’ve always counted your liquor inventory, go for it. It’s very easy to point-count with the app.

Once you sign up, you will receive a link to our tutorial library which guides you through step-by-step on how to set up your account, as well as how to use everything in the app and software.

And of course we are here to help answer any questions you have at any time. Email us at: in**@*******ol.net

Yes, absolutely. Just contact us when you’re ready to change to the yearly subscription plan.

Yes. Many of our clients use Bar Patrol Inventory App to quickly fly through their food inventory, as well as their bar products, cleaning supplies, retail, office supplies, etc., and at no extra cost.

Without a doubt. This is one of the coolest features of the software. Not only will Bar Patrol tell you how much liquor and/or food to order, broken down by vendor, but with just a push of the button, your orders will be automatically emailed off to all of your vendors. No need to call, text or talk to them in person (unless you want to, of course). Once the orders come in, you are able to approve them with one click and a new invoice will be created for you.

No. We do not like scanners, nor do we think they are necessary. They’re bulky, they break and you spend half your time moving the scanner around trying to get it to read the code. We match everything app to shelf so all your products pop up in the exact same order every time. Bar Patrol App is actually faster than those apps that use a scanner.

No. We have bottle weights for many of the most popular brands, but there is no tare weight list (of full and empty bottle weights). At this time, we have bottle weights for approximately 3,000 of the most popular brands. For any brands that we don’t have bottle weights for, we show you exactly how to calculate the bottle weights yourself in the tutorial library. It’s an easy calculation.

Absolutely. As long as you have an iOS or Android device and things to count, it will work anywhere in the world. In fact, we are now in more than 40 countries around the world. Here are a few points to consider though:

1. You can run reports in ml instead of oz if you wish, but the scale weighs in oz, so all of your full and empty bottle weights need to be entered as oz (if you intend on using the bluetooth scale).

2. The currency is only US currency. However, when it comes to currency, you can’t change the currency symbol, but it is only a symbol so it doesn’t change any of the math. Simply enter the costs and prices of your products and your reports and percentages will be produced exactly the same if they had a different currency symbol in front of the number. In other words, a number is a number, so use your numbers and the math percentages will work out the same.

Bar Patrol Inventory App works on any Apple device that is able to update to 10.1 or higher for the software updates. If you have an older iPhone or iPad that is running on anything below 10.1, BAR PATROL WILL NOT WORK ON THOSE OLDER MODELS.  sometime in June of 2020.
