How it works

Three steps to a running bar.

1

Scan your invoices

Snap a photo of recent invoices from your distributors. AI extracts every line item — name, size, vendor, cost — and builds your catalog in seconds. No spreadsheets, no typing.

2

Count what you have

Walk the bar with the pre-programmed scan gun and an iPad. Every receive and kill is a quick beep. Front-of-bar and back-of-house counts stay synced automatically.

3

Run the bar with confidence

Live dashboard shows what you have, what's worth what, and what's about to run out. Smart reorder alerts mean no more 86'ing your best sellers.

Built for the way bars actually run

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

Scan any invoice

Snap a photo of a vendor invoice. AI extracts every line item, matches it to your products, and updates inventory automatically.

Barcode scanning

Built around the pre-programmed Bluetooth scan gun we send you. Receive deliveries, kill empties, and count nights run on barcode scans — front of bar, back of bar, kitchen, all in one place.

Real cost tracking

Vendor prices update automatically from every invoice. See exactly what your inventory is worth in real time.

Smart reorder alerts

Set par levels per product. Get notified the moment something drops below reorder threshold — no more 86ing your best sellers.

Ask anything

Built-in AI knows your inventory inside out. Ask about waste trends, top sellers, ordering patterns — get instant answers.

Hardware

Built around the bar scanner.

Receiving deliveries and killing bottles both run on barcode scans, so every InventoryBoss bar needs a Bluetooth scan gun. We sell pre-programmed scanners that pair on the first try — order one to get started, or two so you're covered if one goes missing or breaks mid-shift. You'll also need an iPad (or iPhone) behind the bar for the app itself.

Bundle pricing on the two-pack. Larger orders? Text us for a deal.

FAQ

Common questions

Do I need any special hardware?

Yes — a Bluetooth barcode scanner is required because Receive and Kill Bottles run on scans. We sell pre-programmed scanners that pair cleanly with InventoryBoss on the first try (off-the-shelf ones often don't). Order one on the Order page, or grab the two-pack so you have a spare when one goes missing or breaks. You'll also need an iPad or iPhone behind the bar for the app itself.

How long does setup take?

Most bars are fully set up in 30 minutes if they have recent distributor invoices handy. We can also do the setup with you in person if you'd prefer — see our pricing page for details.

Can my staff use it without training?

Yes. Staff get a simplified view — Receive, Move, Kill, Count — five buttons in order. Managers can lock down settings with a PIN. Most bartenders are up to speed in their first shift.

Does it work with my distributors?

If you order from Breakthru Beverage, Crescent Crown, Southern Glazer's, RNDC, or any other distributor that sends PDF or paper invoices, we've got you. The AI invoice scanner has been trained on the major Arizona and Midwest distributor formats.

What happens if I cancel?

Your data stays available for 30 days after cancellation so you can export everything you need. No long-term contracts, cancel anytime from the app.
