- Bars do not lose money slowly. They lose it a measure at a time, on busy nights, when nobody can watch every pour. Orderly makes stock and staff accountable without slowing service.
Know exactly what left the bar
Why bars are different from restaurants
A restaurant sells a plate that took a recipe. A bar sells the same bottle a hundred different ways, at speed, often late, usually with several staff on the same till and a crowd waiting. That combination is where stock disappears.
Where the money goes
The four losses every bar owner recognises.
[01]
Over-pouring and free rounds
A generous measure repeated all night is a bottle you never sold. Nobody meant to steal - it just was not counted.
[02]
Stock that does not match sales
You count bottles on Monday and the numbers do not agree with the takings. Without per-item tracking you cannot tell where the gap is.
[03]
Voids and discounts nobody owns
On a busy night anything can be voided. If it is not logged against a person, it will keep happening.
[04]
Tabs and splitting bills
Groups run tabs, then want to split by item at 1am. Doing it on paper is slow and expensive in mistakes.
What Orderly does behind the bar
- Stock per item - every bottle, every measure, deducted as it is sold
- Variance visible - what you sold against what left the store, so gaps show up in days not months
- Every void, discount and refund logged against the staff member who did it
- Fast tabs and split-by-item billing, so groups pay without an argument
- Drinks route to the bar printer or screen while food goes to the kitchen
- Role-based access so only managers can void, discount or change prices
Bars and pubs are some of our busiest customers - One Stop Pub, The Castell and B Buzz among them.
