Bar Cop
Bar Cop is back-office software for independent bars and restaurants. It is eight tools in one system: beverage and food inventory, labor and scheduling, shift cash and over-short, profit recovery that prices your leaks in dollars, menu pricing, a cash-flow forecast, event bookings, and weekly and month-end books.
It is not a point of sale. Your POS still rings the sales. Bar Cop reads the sales report your POS already exports, so it works with any POS and there is nothing to integrate.
Count inventory with fill sliders, no scale to buy. Run four on-demand audits that score and price your biggest money leaks, then close the week and hand your accountant clean books. One price of $249 a month per location, no contract and no setup project. Built for the owner who runs the place, online since 2004.
