Bar Inventory Software
That Pays for Itself
The average bar loses $30,000+ per year to shrinkage, over-pouring, and untracked waste. BarGuard is bar inventory software built to find that money and give it back to you.
Manual inventory tracking is costing you thousands
Spreadsheets, clipboards, and gut-feel guesses don't catch a bartender free-pouring for friends. They don't flag when your well vodka usage is 40% over expected. They don't connect your purchase costs to your actual sales — so you never know your real pour cost.
Over-pouring
Even 0.5 oz extra per drink adds up to $800–$2,000/month on a busy bar.
Shrinkage & Theft
Free drinks, walk-outs, and employee theft rarely show up in manual counts.
Inventory Errors
Mismatched count sheets hide losses for weeks before anyone notices.
BarGuard connects the dots between inventory and sales
Instead of just counting bottles, BarGuard compares what you should have used against what you actually used — and flags every discrepancy.
