As featured on Paramount Networks "Bar Rescue" Partender is a patented, subscription-based business tool with a proprietary design that empowers you to:
• Easily complete full bar inventory in 15 minutes
• With up to 99.2% accuracy
• Split up the work across as many users as youd like on iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and even the web
• Generate editable "Smart Orders" based on what you actually went through
• Place, track, and receive those orders online
• Get alerted when prices change
• Get your Usage (for Variance)
• Get your Actual Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) for Bev Cost %
• See what’s trending in your venue (incl. Top Movers & Dead Stock)
• Integrate with ERPs

And besides saving time and labor, our customers:
1) Reduce Inventory Value On-Hand by 20-40%
2) Reduce Beverage Cost by 6-8%
3) Reduce Cost of Goods Fluctuation by 10%

...all in just 90 days of weekly use after setup.


WHAT REAL CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING:
"Inventory takes less than 15 minutes now. It used to take 2 hours with 3 people counting, for a total of 6 labor hours."
- Grant S. at Boston Pizza

“It takes us just 15 minutes to do inventory, which we do at least twice a week. We stopped running out of things, and thanks to Partender, we managed to get beverage costs down to below 20% in a couple months."
- Mike W. at Marriott


HOW? WHY?
Because the same reason why you count the cash in the register at the end of every night (or every shift) is the exact same reason why you count the liquid cash sitting on your shelves. If you dont, itll disappear!

And when your inventory is 10-50x more valuable than your cash register, it makes sense to count it as carefully as the till, but thats been impossible until Partender.

So throw out your paper-and-pen and homegrown spreadsheets. Do inventory in minutes - not hours. See whats selling the best/worst, whats dead stock (and needs to be phased out via happy hour promotions), and whats about to run out and get 86d (so you never miss a sale).

Stop manually typing your inventory into Excel or a glorified web-based spreadsheet. Let Partender streamline all of your inventory, ordering, and accounting operations in just 15 minutes a week.


WITH PARTENDER, YOU CAN:
• Monitor actual depletions
• See real-time customer insights for your actual guests on a per-product or per-category basis
• Instantly receive your Value On-Hand ("Balance Sheet") in wholesale and retail dollars after every inventory
• Optimize your par levels (based on online graphs) to buy more of whats selling the best and less of whats selling the worst
• Clearly understand why your cost of goods is going up (due to Price Change Alerts or due to shrinkage* via our Usage / Variance Report online)

*Shrinkage is the loss of inventory due to over-pouring, theft, breakage, spillage, inaccurate counting, not receiving product, etc. And theres an average 23% shrinkage in our industry, which causes 60-80% of bars and restaurants to fail within their first 3 years... or lose tons in revenue.


HOW DOES PARTENDER WORK?
1) Build a virtual "blueprint" of your venue after organizing your bar
2) Split up the work of inventory across Main Bar, Back Bar, Stock Room, etc.
3) Instead of manually writing down your inventory using an arbitrary 10-point scale, cumbersome scales, or expensive hardware, simply tap where the liquor level is on the real image of the bottle and swipe to the next bottle on your shelf.
4) Thats it! Our proprietary algorithms are up to 99.2% accurate so you know down to the drop & dollar-value how much each bottle is worth in Retail & Wholesale Dollars ($).


INVENTORY ANYTHING:
In addition to liquor, you can inventory beer, wine, smallwares, kegs, and food! Our database is huge. If theres something on your shelf thats not in our database: take a picture of it, and our proprietary algorithms will do the rest.


ANALYTICS IN THE CLOUD:
Just log into your web dashboard to see COGS, beautiful consumption graphs, and actionable usage reports.

Pros and cons of Partender - Bar Inventory app for iPhone and iPad

Partender - Bar Inventory app good for

New update is awesome. Offline functionality takes the frustration out of searching for that signal!
Fast. Accurate. Simple. Generates all my reports in minutes in Excel.
Bringing on 4 locations. This system is 99.2% accurate and does all of my inventory AND ordering in 15 minutes. All of my wells, shelves, and cabinets are organized perfectly. Saving $800/mo. I love it.
For anyone who knows the pains of spending hours and hours doing bar/restaurant inventory, this app was made with you in mind. After the setup with the helpful staff, it now only takes me 15 minutes to do inventory. This is a life saver and a $$$$$$ saver!! Basically paid for itself in 2 months! Thanks Partender.
After piloting Partender for 6 months at 3 locations and seeing huge ROI, we just expanded to 8 more of our outlets. What’s crazy is that setting up Partender this time (which took 4 hours on the old version) only took about 2 hours — and on a larger inventory (about $85K) compared to the last bar (about $45K). Honestly, the updates to Partender is incredible — I’ve never experienced such great service from a technology company, let alone a startup. It feels like every week there’s something new I’m getting for free (incredible). I can always call in and speak to a real person, and on top of that, I know my voice is heard because they literally released something I asked for a week after I suggested it. Before Partender, we had to start inventory Sunday at 8pm in order to finish by 2am (sometimes later) and meet our Monday order time. Since we started using Partender over a year ago, we start at 8pm and finish by 9pm. The newly-updated app (again), is *incredibly fast* (kudos to Team Partender!) This feels like magic and I’m so excited to see more on the app and online! PS. I really, really love that whenever I login on the app or online, there always seems to be a new feature, a new look, or a new value. It’s refreshing to say the least. Thank you.
Having operated notable, high-end hotels like Four Seasons, Trump, and Omni (as well as having seen Partender increase the bottom lines of my small, independent bars), Partender’s savings are no joke. Aside from the time & money savings, what I’m most grateful to Partender for is the effect it’s had on my staff — I’ve seen junior and senior bar and shift managers rise & train faster, make drinks faster (since Partender has helped organize my bars by providing us "a blueprint” of how our shelves should be laid out), and make more money (aka work happier) because we’ve saved so much money from labor and bev cost that I gave some of it back to my staff to incentivize them to keep up the good work. Not to mention, Partender prevented me from running out of stock this month for St. Patrick’s Day, and I can’t even imagine how much more we made by having enough Jameson in stock. Maybe I could have done this without Partender, but it sure would have taken me much longer than two weeks to get this organized and would have been such a headache. For the price of a dozen drinks a month, Partender’s done so much for all of my businesses. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Thank you.

Some bad moments

....... this app seems fricken unbelievable but I was unable to sign in or load basic info so I had to uninstall. Bummer because this looks to be a genius app.
Great idea, however developers that dont include in-app purchase, membership required or you have to send email or do a trial offer before getting price information obviously do not stand by their product. Its dishonest and sly, the first thing requested of user is to put in an email address. The app screams SCAM. Im sure the idea at any reasonable cost is great, needed and useful. It is disappointing. And Im sure they restrict any conflicting reviews so beware!!
This app doesnt have the wells that my bar has. And wont let me enter them. Dumb.
am a bartender at a boutique restaurant and we LOVE Partender! It took a bit of time doing the initial set up but faster than it would have been if we did it without the software. Their customer service is impeccable. We got a call within 5 minutes of signing up! They provided us amazing tips on how to initially set up our bar and also made themselves available anytime to call! Like, literally.. we had to call at 2am for some technical help and were surprise to have someone answer and still be excited to help out! The inventory software is a monthly subscription though but they dont have a contract so thats good. I hate contracts! We are now exploring the food inventory option that they offer so hopefully that works out well too!
Tara gave an awesome presentation to me at the NRA food show in Chicago. Im really Impressed with there service and I love the "level" system!
This brings the industry out of the 18th century and into the 21st. Bravo!
