BarkeepApp

I'm still trying to set up my items list before my first inventory. I scanned several popular items such as grey goose me corona. Half were not found and the other half did not have bottle weight information. Scanning barcodes was what brought me to purchase this service, but since it looks like I have to manually do all of it myself there is no convenience factor to speak of. Amazing that a database of "over 75,000" items doesn't have bar codes for great goose and stoli, nor did it have bottle weights for Hennessy VS or Crown Royal Regal Apple. Where's the convenience if I have to manually search the database then also add a barcode to it, or manually add bottle weights. I guess that's why it's so cheap. Big words, little to back it up.

The app no longer gives you a preview report or does the totals for you. You now have to send it to an actual computer. And furthermore. Why can you use an email app for gmail or yahoo. Why does it have to be sent through devices default email program?

The new update breaks the reporting total on the inventory of this app. I depend on this app and have a ton of extra work to do now.

This app sounds great but is more hassle than it's worth. The scan feature doesn't work at all. I had to manually enter common liquors that were not in the database.

The dollar amount is not showing up on the inventory section. How do u get this to work? Even after you save the section it is not showing up.

I work at a chain restaurant and we love this app. We also pay for the online services as well to import product mixes and get a bottle to bottle usage. It took awhile to get things set up due to the fact I had in input most of our products and prices. My only beef is I wish once you pay for the monthly services it would allow you to use all the reports and options you have online on the iDevice. But I really love using it to do random audits to keep my bartenders in check. It's a great app but not perfect. Hope they listen to their customers and make some great changes in future updates.

Should have add the Wine/liqueur supplier section on it, will more Easy for us to orangize our stock...

I was excited about buying this app to simplify my inventory keeping and get my liquor cost tightened up. However, buying a $34.00 app and then being expected to pay an additional $25. in monthly on line fees or a $200+ yearly rate seems to be a bit of a rip-off. With most apps you get an introductory online service and then hit up for fees. There is no way for you to register your account on line without paying the fee.......

I purchased the original version for the Iphone and online account and felt very excited about the features and possibilities; however, after having consistent problems with syncing, losing inventories, missing items. etc. I stopped using the app and reverted back to my excel perpetual inventory. The problem seems to be in using automatic sync on both an ipad and iphone. I actually had to re-enter my inventory twice after the first one was lost which resulted in quite a bit of frustration. Quite possibly the problem stems from a slow internet connection which you should consider before purchasing. I've also had issues with the app retaining bar codes of items I manually entered, incorrect scanning of beer bottle barcodes, also I've found the app to be cumbersome when doing multiple inventories in the same time frame you have to be cautious on the location. I did make contact with the designer and they seemed more than helpful in trying to resolve the problems; however, without proper resolution I have lost faith in the ability of this app do to what it promised to do. I have cancelled my online account. I really would like my money back as this item has not been useful for me.

Needs the option to transfer items and reports from one device to another. Example: I use a iPhone and I travel all the time. My bartender does her inventory on her iPad while I'm away. It would be easier if I can get her iPad summarized report sent directly to my barkeep app on my iPhone. Also I carry over 180 spirits, 45 beers and hundreds of mixers in my bar and I just purchased a new iPhone and iPad for my bar. I can't transfer the items thats I'm my old iPad to my new ipad. And that's about a good half day to type all the information into a new device.
