BarkeepOnline
BarkeepOnline is an add-on, hosted service that provides the tools to monitor and assess your Pour Cost.
BarkeepOnline uses inventory data generated by Barkeep to track Liquor Usage, and combines it with Sales
Data either automatically generated by your POS system or manually entered into BarkeepOnline.
The unique feature of BarkeepOnline is that it determines exactly how much of each category of liquor should
have been used based on your Sales Data, and calculates exactly how much "lost product" has been consumed.
In other words, BarkeepOnline can tell you that, according to sales, you should have used 104.23 ounces of
Call Liquor and instead you used 122.38 ounces, which is a loss of 18.15 ounces or a little over half a bottle.
This is extremely powerful information, because it allows you to focus in on exactly which types of liquor you
are "losing" and how much of it is getting "lost.”
Barkeep customers typically reduce their overall Pour Cost by at LEAST 1%, and generally by 2-3%, by using
BarkeepOnline. Reducing Pour Cost by 1-3% is equivalent to reducing the amount that you spend on liquor
by 5%-15%. Do a little simple math, and you'll see that Barkeep and BarkeepOnline will pay for themselves in
the first month that you start using them. How's that for ROI!
