THE CHALLENGE

Bar stock taking should not depend on spreadsheets and guesswork.

Beverage operations move fast. A practical control system should make physical stock counting easier while keeping the data structured for costing, consumption and variance analysis.

01 / MANUAL

Manual Bottle Counting

Reduce repetitive stock-taking work with a mobile-first workflow.

02 / VISIBILITY

Unclear Stock Position

Capture stock by bottle, fraction, category and location.

03 / COST

Changing Purchase Costs

Connect beverage stock with purchase and recipe costing information.

04 / CONTROL

Consumption Variance

Compare expected consumption with actual stock movement.

05 / WASTAGE

Spillage & Wastage

Give management a structured way to review operational exceptions.

06 / SCALE

Multiple Outlets

Maintain a consistent beverage control process across locations.

MOBILE BAR INVENTORY

Take the stock count to the bar floor.

KONTROLS is designed around a mobile stock-taking workflow. A team member can use the phone camera to capture a liquor bottle, confirm the item and quantity, record opened-bottle stock and save the count against the relevant bar or stock location.

📷 Bottle Photo Capture the bottle directly from the mobile device.
✓ Item Confirmation Confirm the beverage record before saving stock.
◐ Bottle Fraction Record opened-bottle quantity as an equivalent fraction.
▣ Location Record stock against bar, outlet or storage location.

ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE

From bottle photo to measurable stock variance.

The mobile count is designed to become structured inventory data. Once connected to recipe and sales information, management can compare theoretical consumption with physical stock.

Example:
A 750 ml bottle with a 60 ml standard pour supports 12 standard servings. 100 drinks would represent 6,000 ml or 8.00 bottles of theoretical consumption.
