Features
Everything you need to
protect your inventory
Built specifically for bars and restaurants. Not a generic inventory tool.
Real-Time Variance Tracking
Compare what was poured vs. what was sold. Instantly spot discrepancies by item, shift, or date range.
AI-Powered Loss Detection
AI analysis surfaces which items are most likely to be over-poured or going missing — down to the specific bottle and shift.
Invoice Scanning
Photograph or upload any invoice — AI extracts line items automatically. No manual data entry.
Loss Reports
Detailed breakdown of every variance event. Export and share with your team or accountant.
Smart Reorder Alerts
Never run out of top sellers. Automated alerts when items hit your reorder threshold.
POS Integration
Connect Square, Clover, Toast, or Focus POS to auto-import sales data. Zero manual entry.
Period Close & Snapshots
Officially close any inventory period in three steps. Numbers are locked, timestamped, and stored forever — so ownership always has a clean audit trail. Browse the full history of every closed period to compare month over month.
How It Works
Up and running in minutes
Add Your Inventory
Enter your bottles, kegs, and packs. Set par levels and cost prices. The more items you carry, the longer it takes — but you only do it once.
Count & Import
Photograph invoices to auto-import purchases. Do stock counts before and after each shift.
Catch the Losses
Run calculations and let BarGuard's AI flag what doesn't add up. Take action before it gets worse.
