Sound familiar?

Your bar is profitable on paper. The register says otherwise.

Most bars lose 15–25% of liquor to over-pours, bad pricing, and blind ordering — and never see the number.

A handwritten bar count sheet reading 'Total Cases to Order: 9' and 'Total Kegs to Order: 2'.
This is still how most bars count. Pen, clipboard, and a number you half trust by Sunday.
🩸

You can't see the leak

Free pours and heavy hands quietly bleed margin every shift. Without a cost-per-ounce number, it's invisible.

📄

Invoices pile up

Prices creep, cases change, and hand-keying it all into a spreadsheet is a job nobody has time for.

🎯

You're guessing at prices

Menu prices get set once and forgotten. Meanwhile your real cost moved — and your margin went with it.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Do I need special hardware or a barcode scanner?
No. PourIQ works from your phone's camera. Snap a photo of a bottle and the AI does the rest — no scanners, no barcodes.
Will it work with my POS?
Yes. Export item sales from Lightspeed, Toast, Square, Clover and more, then upload the CSV — PourIQ matches it to your catalog automatically.
How long does setup take?
Most bars are up and running in under 15 minutes. Import your item list, scan a few key bottles, and you'll see live numbers the same day.
Can I run more than one bar?
Today PourIQ runs one bar per account — one bar's inventory, costs and margin reporting. If you run a group, talk to us and we'll work out what fits.
Is my bar's data private?
Always. PourIQ is multi-tenant and secure — your costs, pricing, and numbers are visible only to you and the team you invite.
