Bar Inventory
Spirits, wine, beer and mixers — the same stock model as the kitchen, filtered to drink.
KitchenSync → Bar is the same inventory system as the kitchen page, showing only the drink categories.
The categories
Four filters across the top: All, Spirits, Beer & Wine and Beverages.
Those map to the categories on the underlying stock records. There are no separate categories for champagne, mixers, garnishes or disposables — if you have read a longer list, it was describing a taxonomy that does not exist here. Put the distinction in the item name.
What a row holds
Item, quantity on hand, unit, reorder threshold, par min, par max, supplier, and when it was last restocked.
Par min and par max describe the healthy range. Reorder at is when to do something about it. An item under its par min is flagged, and one at half its par min or less is marked critical.
Counting stock
Click a quantity to edit it inline — no sheet, no dialog. That is the fastest path for a bar count, which is usually a fast walk along a shelf with a phone.
Add Item creates a new line. Edit Par sets the range.
Units matter more than they look
Bar stock is counted in whatever unit you set — bottles, cans, cases, liters. Nothing converts between them, and the reorder logic compares like for like, so an item counted in cases with a threshold set in bottles will alert at the wrong moment. Pick one unit per item and stay with it.
Where bar stock shows up elsewhere
- Items below threshold appear in the Run Sheet inventory alerts alongside kitchen items
- The Low Stock count on the KitchenSync dashboard includes them
- A purchase order line linked to a bar item increases its stock when received
What is not here
No pour cost, no per-drink recipes, no keg or bottle depletion tracking during service, and no variance between what was poured and what was sold. This is stock on hand, not beverage cost control.
