Partender - Bar Inventory

A great app! I've been using this app recently and it has saved me loads of trouble turning each single bottle upside down and measuring them one by one! The drag bar in this app is a miracle, calculating and sending good estimations to the inventory system. The liquors database is relatively weak, but that doesn't cause any trouble. You can just take a photo of your own bottle and upload. I showed the app to the highly experienced teacher of the bartender school were i had studied. He was amazed and suggested it to all his students! For the next update i hope they include the barcode reading function, and replace the amateur photos of the few missing bottles with high quality professional photos.

Partender has been a great tool around our business. It has helped with time and accuracy while doing inventory on liquor and beer. It’s easy to use and has cut our inventory time in half. The owner was super against using Partender but we are glad we didn’t listen and went for it anyways. It has helped tremendously for the liquors we need to keep a closer eye on to see if they are actually being sold properly. Ordering liquor is now a breeze!

Erwin, As the Bar manager at BLVD Bistro with over two decades of experience in the hospitality industry, I have seen many inventory management systems, but none have transformed our operations as profoundly as Partender. The speed and accuracy with which we can now conduct inventory counts are unparalleled. What once was a laborious task is now a quick and seamless process, saving us countless hours. Additionally, the disruptions caused by the cleaning crew, which used to scatter our inventory and turn a simple cleanup into a prolonged ordeal, have been drastically minimized. Thanks to Partender's systematic organization, what used to take over an hour now takes less than 30 minutes. From a financial standpoint, the benefits of Partender are equally remarkable. Initially, our liquor inventory had a wholesale value of approximately $17,114 for around 460 bottles. With Partender, we efficiently managed our stock, leading to an ending wholesale value of about $14,200 for the remaining 340 bottles, despite high usage. This precise control over our inventory has led to substantial cost savings and waste reduction, enhancing our profitability by 50%. I wholeheartedly recommend Partender to any bar or restaurant looking to enhance their operational efficiency, accuracy, and financial health. It’s more than just a tool; it has been a game changer for us at BLVD Bistro. Jamaal R.Clifton, Beverage Manager at BLVD Bistro

Partender transformed my bar, Cielo Restaurant & Lounge, from chaos to efficiency in weeks! As a dance teacher, now running a bar with no bar management experience, I was overwhelmed by inventory tasks that used to take 4-5 hours. With Partender, we've cut that down to just 45 minutes. This app isn't just about organizing; it’s about optimizing. It's intuitive, easy to use, and it fits seamlessly into any bar environment, whether you're a seasoned pro or a complete novice like I was. The reduction in our inventory from $6,049 to $4,073 in just a few weeks wasn't just about better practices; it marked a revolution in how we operate. Partender has enabled me to identify and eliminate deadstock efficiently and refine our ordering process to ensure data-driven decisions, which in turn boosted our profitability and sales. We now understand our beverage costs and COGS with unprecedented clarity, which has been transformative in the way I run my business! The visibility we've gained into our operations has directly boosted our sales by allowing us to better meet our customers' preferences and manage our stock more effectively based on what sells! If you have the opportunity, I highly recommend taking advantage of the 1-1 VIP onboarding training Partender offers. It’s a game changer, helping new users maximize the app’s potential quickly and effectively. Our onboard trainer Erwin was professional & personable, and has been an amazing resource for us. Partender isn't just an app; it's a comprehensive tool that saves time, cuts costs, and drastically improves operational efficiency. Its impact on our team's morale and the overall atmosphere at Cielo has been profoundly positive. We're not just surviving the hectic world of bar management—we're thriving, thanks to Partender. For anyone looking to streamline their bar's inventory management and increase sales, Partender is indispensable. It's more than a tool; it's your partner in success.

I’m a bartender who takes pride and loves what I’m doing, especially since that means the guest is happy and my tips increase. I want order to have the most efficiency, and organization has always been important to me but most bars and restaurants aren’t organized. I used to work at Interlock Hotel and Drawbar as a bartender but also got pulled into doing inventory before and it’d take forevvver since it was still just guessing how full bottles were and writing everything down and putting into a system. Now I work for a high-volume craft cocktail venue where we have lines at the bar and I still have to make drinks with egg whites. I don’t have to time and can’t afford to figure out where bottles are or where another bartender put the bottles, and this used to be the case before we got Partender. Bottles would move around like the Wild West. We had NO bar manager. But since our company got Partender, we have a source of truth. And we are even doing a nightly inventory. It takes us each like 90 seconds to count our sections and now as bartenders we’re getting the products we need to serve guests since our managers aren’t blinding placing orders without realizing what we already have or what we’re actually out of. I know most bartenders are scared of the word inventory, but Partender isn’t some policing system. It’s really a tool that helps everyone, even bartenders, since it helps everyone get organized for fastest service and do inventory to figure out what is actually needed. I’m sure it helps our managers with costs and analysis since all the reporting is automated, but I truly love it because it’s going to help me do my job better. And I’m looking to move up the ladder, and I know I’ll be able to be successful with Partender since I was able to do learn how to do inventory on it in literally 2 minutes! It can help anyone be a bar manager

I’m a bartender at an aviation lounge. At my last job, I had to take inventory on paper and pen on a 10 pts scale and it sucked, especially since I had never done it before — but this is so much easier! As a bartender at the Centurion Lounge, switching to Partender has significantly streamlined our inventory process. What stands out is the speed and ease of use. Completing inventory for our entire whiskey bar now takes less than 15 minutes — a task I can manage solo. The interface is intuitive, making the app accessible to users of all levels of technical skill. I think anyone could and should use the application! Partender has transformed a tedious task into a quick and simple process, allowing us to focus more on customer service. Highly recommended for those in the hospitality industry looking to improve their inventory management and general operations. - J.B. Amex

**From 10 Hours Counting 6 Products to Nailing 250 in 35 Minutes at Tin Roof with Partender** Back when I was with Marriott in Ohio, inventory was pen and paper and manual keying into the back office. At Tin Roof, we got Bevinco, hoping for a game-changer. Instead, it turned into MORE work — a grind of 10-hours of extra work filled with recounts and confusion, thanks to incorrect counts, denials, unexpected product appearances and made-up invoices. We found ourselves constantly double-checking Bevinco's numbers, especially for simple things like seltzers, which took way longer than they should have. We were doing such manual math on top of paying $$$ hundreds of dollars a week to Bevinco. And spending 10 hours a week spot checking 12 products. That's when Partender stepped in and changed the game. Suddenly, we could handle 250 products smoothly and efficiently. Everything found its place, making life easier for everyone, bartenders included. Partender really turned things around. It gave us control, clarity, and the ability to easily identify what's profitable and trending. It also cut out the confusion and the endless recounting sessions. Love that it will be empowering for our team. We are going to go from wasting hours on unnecessary tasks to being more organized and efficient. No more dread over dead stock or poor ordering decisions. Big thanks to Partender for the smart use of tech and AI. Inventory days have gone from a dreaded task to something we can handle with ease and even a bit of enthusiasm. ⁃ Alisha (Tin roof manager)

I am Vanessa one of the training managers for Tin Roof and work with our locations on best practices on all levels. Making the transition to Partender from Bevinco was the best decision we made! Bevinco has been so hard to work with because they are franchised and have inconsistent auditors so it’s not consistent. We were able to do inventory in ~10 minutes at our main bar! Partender has such a user-friendly interface, which meant my team adapted very quickly. What truly amazed us was the speed and accuracy Partender brought to our inventory process and the reports we were able to receive. Rolling out Partender across our other locations is an exciting step forward. Its efficiency in inventory management aligns perfectly with our goals for speed, accuracy, and consistency. Partender allowed us to organize our bar and work more efficiently. For anyone contemplating a switch or struggling with their current system, Partender is a must-try. It's transformed our operations, and we're eager to see its impact on our other venues. A solid five stars for Partender! Anj and Monica were also so amazing with our management team and made the learning process very easy!

I've worked everywhere from Wheel House to managing and training at Tin Roof, and I've had my fair share of inventory days that felt like they'd never end. At Wheel House, it was a day-long slog on pen/paper. At Tin Roof, using Bevinco meant constantly double-checking work because of frequent mistakes, with little accountability due to their status as an external team. That all changed when we started using Partender. This app is straightforward and user-friendly. It was so easy to get our team up to speed that we hardly spent any time on training. Impressively, one of our bar managers even took the initiative to do inventory on their own because of how simple it was. What really sets Partender apart is its organization features, like the plannogram, which significantly speeds up our service. The on-site training was also a big plus, making the learning process smooth and effective. The proof of its efficiency? We completed our bar inventory in just 12 minutes the first time around. So, if you're struggling with your current inventory system, I'd recommend checking out Partender. It's streamlined our process and made inventory days so much easier - Liz PS. They're on-site training comes with the best AI and iPhone hacks 😎

Training by Ang was excellent! She was very informative on everything. I believe this will be a great system to track inventory in very little time and it’s very easy to use as well 😀
