Weight Format and Measurement Settings
After entering your Bar Name and contact information you may select a weight format. The default format is
to express weight in ounces (e.g., 99.9 oz). You can press Edit and choose to set BarkeepApp for a pounds
and ounces format or for a metric format (see below). A Weight Format will be needed when you enter
partial bottle weights during inventories. We recommend entering partial bottle weights in ounces if possible.
If you would like to manually enter partial bottle weights into BarkeepApp, you can use any digital scale to
weigh the bottles. Choose the Weight Format in BarkeepApp that matches your digital scale. If you would
like to have BarkeepApp automatically detect the weight of partial bottles using Bluetooth, you must purchase
an approved Bluetooth digital scale from barkeepapp.com.
Digital Scale Settings
Using a Digitag Bluetooth digital scale with BarkeepApp requires a Linea-Pro scanner with Bluetooth
support (or for the iPad an Infinea Tab with Bluetooth support). The Reflex Bluetooth does not require
the use of an additional scanner. See the Using a Bluetooth Scale Section for specific system
requirements for digital scale use.
Note: There are many other models of Bluetooth digital scales available. Only those purchased from
barkeepapp.com are certified to work with BarkeepApp. Other models will not work with BarkeepApp
and are not supported by Barkeep. We are not able to provide assistance with or answer questions about
scales purchased elsewhere.
Metric Users
Weighing Bottles: When weighing bottles and kegs, Barkeep’s default setting is for U.S. weights and
measurements (ounces, pounds, etc.). To switch to metric settings (kilograms, grams, etc.), launch
BarkeepApp and press Settings, General Settings and select a Weight format. There are options for setting
BarkeepApp to metric measurements (see above).
Units of Measure: Barkeep supports both United States customary units and the Metric System. For
example, Items are listed with the appropriate Size or Units that the product is bottled or packaged in
(750 ml, 12 oz., etc.). Some Items may have multiple entries due to different sizes (e.g., 375 ml, 750 ml).
