Features

• Item/Ingredient Management: Users can compile a comprehensive list of spirits, modifiers, garnishes, and other miscellaneous items for use in various applications such as formulas, batching, inventory management, and ordering. This feature supports multiple bottle size configurations while allowing individual price and par level settings. Vendors or distributors can also be assigned to streamline the ordering process.
• Modifiers: The platform includes a designated area for storing formulas related to in-house cocktail components like syrups, tonics, and shrubs. These components are automatically integrated into the items list for accessibility throughout the application.
• Formula/Recipe Management: Users can build and manage cocktail recipes through an intuitive interface that maintains a searchable database for both historical and current cocktail formulas.
• Menu Management: Cocktail formulas can be easily incorporated into the Current Menu for daily service by bartenders. As menu items change, they can be swiftly added or removed, ensuring staff always have access to seasonal specials. A "Featured" option facilitates quick access to the most frequently used formulas.
• Batching: The batching feature automatically performs necessary calculations to generate cocktail batches based on serving count, total volume, or limited ingredients. Measurements are provided in ounces and milliliters, and the system calculates base cost per serving alongside estimated target prices for each batch.
• Inventory: The application enhances inventory management by providing a clear overview of total inventory and zone summaries, thus improving efficiency and accuracy.
• Bottle Out: A bottle out function allows users to monitor their virtual inventory between full physical inventories. This feature provides an approximate real-time virtual inventory status on spirits and enhances order-building suggestions.
• Ordering: Orders can be constructed rapidly with the option to send them directly to distributors. Upon receipt of an order, users can check in all items to verify correct delivery and billing. The system offers suggestions based on current inventory levels and pre-set par levels.
• Shift Notes: Shift notes can be quickly entered and are prominently displayed on the main screen, enabling efficient communication regarding stock issues, specials, and other important notices among team members.
• Notifications: Users have the option to set up notifications that alert team members about key actions occurring within the application.

Benefits

• Virtual Inventory: This feature provides a real-time view of inventory levels based on recent orders and bottle out data since the last full inventory count. It helps business owners maintain close oversight of day-to-day inventory management while facilitating the creation of intelligent order suggestions.
• Costing: By inputting costs for each item, users gain access to detailed cost information throughout the app. Formulas and batching functionalities display both base costs and target sales prices based on predefined cost-of-goods objectives.
• Backup: All data is synchronized across devices and securely stored on BB servers, minimizing the risk of losing valuable formulas that have been developed over time.
