BarCostPro

BarCostPro is a mobile + web app that helps small bars, cafes, and pop-up beverage businesses track real pour cost and shrink without needing a full POS overhaul. Staff quickly log deliveries by scanning invoices (photo upload), then the app maintains a live ingredient cost database and calculates recipe-level margins for cocktails, coffee drinks, and mocktails. A simple “variance” view compares expected usage (based on sales entered manually or imported) vs. actual inventory counts to flag likely over-pouring, comping, or theft. It’s not magic: it won’t replace a POS or stop all loss, but it gives owners a clear weekly checklist of what’s bleeding money and which menu items should be repriced. The MVP focuses on speed and accuracy over fancy dashboards, because operators are busy and will quit if setup is painful.
