Short, step by step videos that walk you through setting up BarGuard bar inventory software. Get your recipes, modifiers, and matching right, and your variance report finally tells the truth.

Recipe Mapping

Recipe mapping is the bridge between your sales and your inventory. Map a drink once and every POS sale pulls the exact ingredients out of your expected count automatically. See how to build a recipe and pick the right unit for spirits, beer, kegs, and food.

Modifier Rules

Customers never order off the menu cleanly. Modifier rules tell BarGuard how to handle no cheese, extra shot, and substitutions so your inventory math stays accurate. Learn the two rule types and how to build one in about ten seconds.
