Partender
Partender is a bar inventory app and web dashboard. Staff count stock by tapping the liquor level on a picture of each bottle, and the software turns the counts into usage and variance reports, beverage cost and purchase orders sorted by distributor. It is sold to bars, restaurants and multi-outlet venues.

Who it is for
Bars and pubs that count liquor by hand
Replaces paper and spreadsheet counts with tap-and-swipe counting on a phone or tablet; the vendor says a full count takes about 15 minutes.
Restaurants with a bar programme
Covers liquor, beer, wine, kegs, mixers and also food and smallwares, with beverage cost and purchase orders in one place.
Multi-outlet hospitality operators
The Enterprise plan adds requisition tracking across outlets, per-outlet cost and usage analytics, and onboarding and training for staff.
What it does
Tap-and-swipe bottle counting
Staff tap the liquor level on an image of the bottle and swipe to the next one; the vendor claims up to 99.2% accuracy.
Split counting across devices
Setup and counting can be shared between several iOS, Android and web logins at the same time.
Purchase orders by distributor
Generates an Excel purchase order sorted by distributor and supplier from an inventory report; the app description also mentions placing, tracking and receiving orders online.
Usage and variance reports
Compares what was poured or sold with what stock was used, to show shrinkage.
Cost analytics and beverage cost
Reports actual cost of goods and beverage cost percentage after each count.
Top movers and dead stock
Shows which products sell fastest and which sit unsold, to guide buying.
Par level and trend graphs
Charts usage over time so par levels can be adjusted up or down.
Price change alerts
Alerts when supplier prices change, so rising cost of goods can be traced.
Value on hand
Reports stock value at wholesale and retail dollars after every count.
Broad product database with photo add
Large product database for liquor, beer, wine, kegs, smallwares and food; missing items can be added from a photo.
