AI INVOICE CAPTURE — BarGuard
AI INVOICE CAPTURE

Snap a receipt. Done.

Drop in a JPG, PNG, or PDF and BarGuard reads the vendor, line items, prices, and quantities. You review, then it posts to your books.

  • Liquor, food, and paper receipts
  • Every line reviewed before save
  • Pulls vendor + matches to inventory
RECIPE MAPPING

Every drink, every plate, mapped to inventory.

917 menu items mapped to the exact ounce, portion, or each — so a Margarita rung up at the bar shows up as a real depletion against tequila, lime, and triple sec.

  • Bulk-import from your POS menu
  • Per-ingredient yield + cost tracking
  • Modifier rules for upsells and subs

PROFIT INTELLIGENCE

Revenue vs profit, item by item.

See which menu items actually make you money — and which ones are just busy-work for the line. Margin and revenue, side by side.
