The operational need
Make bar inventory fast enough to do every night.
Traditional bottle counts are slow, disconnected from sales and difficult to compare across dates.
PourCue turns closing into a direct workflow: scan a bottle, enter full bottles, select the open-bottle level from 0.0 to 1.0 and continue. The system converts every count into volume automatically.
Connected controls
Count, sales, recipes and deliveries in one record.
- Carry the approved closing inventory into the next business date.
- Connect POS drinks sold to recipe-level expected alcohol usage.
- Upload and confirm delivery invoices before inventory changes.
- Compare expected and physical inventory in bottles, milliliters, ounces and dollars.
- Locate bottle purchase price, cost per ounce and drink margin.
- Search daily, weekly, monthly and custom closing history.
Product decision
One fast staff flow. Clear management evidence.
The design keeps nightly work simple while preserving the detail a manager needs.
Staff stay focused on scanning and counting. Managers can review deliveries, waste, comps, expected usage, physical inventory and unexplained variance without crowding the closing screen.
My contribution
From a bar problem to a working product.
I defined the inventory logic, closing sequence, universal bottle-level method, date history, delivery workflow and responsive interface. The product combines operations analysis, profitability control and practical user-experience design.
