Backbar

I have been using backbar for the last 4 years while I use it a little different than a typical user. The app works great, super easy and accessible. It has to low of a rating on the App Store for being to good of an app. The UI is extremely friendly and easy to use after you play around with it a little. The order entry is so streamlined while I don’t 100% trust the email to rep function (due to personal reason with my own sales reps. Not the app itself) the format and output of orders are so simple and easy to read. The free program works great for bars with low budgets and owners that are too stingy to spend a few extra bucks. This is a great tool for the beginning bar manager or Purchaser. 5 Stars and excited to see what is to come in the future!

Downloaded. Created account. Broken at organization input. Type in a location. But won’t let you progress. Would give 0 stars

After the most recent update it is nearly impossible to take inventory on this app. It’s messy, buggy, and unresponsive. You press a number and it doesn’t enter it, and don’t even think about using decimals because it will not allow you to even though there’s a decimal button. It’s insanely frustrating that I can no longer use my phone for inventory or ordering because this app is trash.

The app was working fine until I downloaded the new update. Now the inventory can not be accessed to complete counts which means no ordering without guessing. It also forces you update items in your inventory or ignore the prompt to update items in inventory requiring attention. If you don’t have OCD it probably is not that big of a deal. But if you have OCD it is a problem. Data is not stored on your device so if the server is experiencing problems on the day of your count you are in trouble.

I don’t know where to start, this app is actually incredible. My restaurant recently subscribed to the app and it has made our lives so much easier. It saves me so much time on inventory and ordering. Highly recommended!

Backbar claims to offer a free tier. However, if you sign up for the free account, an employee emails you and closes your account. Even after closing my account, they keep you on their mailing list–for an app that they won’t even let me use. I’m looking at other inventory programs to find one that is able to deliver what they promised.

This app is amazing. I used to spend hours doing inventory on a spreadsheet (and oftentimes, I would still make mistakes). This app is so user friendly it’s almost impossible to overlook anything or make silly mistakes while placing orders.

The app feels really natural to use and saves teams a lot of time. Highly recommend to anyone looking to digitize their inventory management. Huge upgrade from excel. Love the order feature too.

Really happy I found this app. It’s made taking inventory so much easier. Me and my bar team have basically cut the time it takes for monthly inventory in half. I’m using it send my liquor orders now and it’s a lot easier to keep track of orders and costs in Backbar than with my old order sheet. I’d definitely recommend trying it out for your bar. It’s a free app too which is awesome.

I’ve been using Backbar for a couple weeks now and it’s made running my bar so much easier. I don’t have to spend hours doing inventory and I can keep track of my orders all in one place. I can’t believe it’s free!
