Bar management is very critical, the markup on alcohol is very low, so it is mandatory for bar managers to keep close tabs on their inventory. With the wring for every drink, it is deducted from the inventory to give a clear idea about in-hand supply.
If the drink is served without the wring, the manager is notified immediately. The software also keeps a record of detailed sales, thus supply can be maintained according to the demand. Having analysed what drinks you need to stock more, you can save money on less selling drinks. Some software is integrated with the security system to reduce shrink and loss. By the use of software, tab transfers, repeat orders and check consolidation can be done easily through main order entry dashboard. Bar terminals can include login feature that can identify different bartenders.
Through CRM feature, bar managers can reach out to their customers through email, social media and SMS, thus establishing a good relationship. It has become easier to maintain accounts ledger, tips and end of day pay-outs.
Features to consider while choosing the bar management software?
Customer database
Most restaurants/bars cannot survive without a loyal, repeat customer base. Many systems have a customer database that allows you to take advantage of that data. Two features that can be very beneficial are built-in loyalty and order tracking. The loyalty feature normally allows you to give out points, credits, or free food.
Tableside ordering
It is a relatively new concept but some POS systems are now able to offer tableside ordering via handheld devices like an iPad. The technology may come at an extra cost, but for many restaurants, it would pay off through improved server efficiencies, fewer errors, faster food delivery, and better overall customer experience.
Scalability
How much flexibility does the system have in terms of upgrades and expansions? Can you easily add additional stations as your business grows? What if you decide to add tableside ordering or online reservations? Are those features currently available? These are all questions one should ask when considering a bar management software.
