Please provide a description of your company in 50 words or less.
Bar-i provides the fastest & most accurate way to do liquor inventory at your bar using shelf-to-sheet mapping, barcode item lookup, and Bluetooth scales. We integrate with any POS system so bars can precisely compare what’s sold through versus what’s poured in real life. Our clients reduce shrinkage from 15% to 5% or less and reduce overall beverage cost by three full percentage points.
Why did you join RSPA?
We are seeking VARs to increase our sales capabilities and provide an additional revenue source to VARs who already have relationships with our bar, restaurant, nightclub, hotel, casino, and members club clients. Since we integrate with any POS system and unlock additional value from granular sales data contained in the system, we are a natural fit for VARs selling POS brands. Our scale-based inventory system provides extra value to bars and complements the functionality of POS systems. We are a non-competing solution focused on the same clients as hospitality POS systems. We also want to learn and make industry connections.

What verticals do you serve?
Bars. We serve on-premise operators in the hospitality sector including bars, restaurant, nightclubs, casinos, and member’s clubs such as country clubs, golf clubs, sailing clubs and other membership based organizations. The comon there is simply that they have a bar that serves alcohol.
What products/services do you provide?
We offer three different levels of analytics through monthly subscriptions to our Speed Count, Complete and Pro offerings. All products are offered on a month-to-month basis with no term contracts. We offer 20% discounts for annual payment. We believe that the level of execution and benefit that bars get from using beverage inventory technology is highly dependent on the skill level of the users. We support bars’ successful implementation and execution by offering training, data entry and analytics services during setup and after each count in a “inventory processing as a service” model in addition to the software licenses. Clients are able to use the services element as required on a flexible basis as needs change.
Name one fun fact that makes your company different from others.
When you use Bar-i you have a dedicated remote inventory assistant who will complete all related office-based tasks. These include reconciling invoices, updating recipes, reconciling sales from the POS, identifying items to double-check and taking overall ownership of the process and accuracy of results. Count fast, we do the rest for your staff so results are timely, accurate and useful.
What is the most encouraging thing you see for the future of the retail IT industry?
Everybody loves to spend time with their friends and family eating and drinking. While technology always evolves that fact does not. Our mission as technology providers is to support the most meaningful mission of all- facilitating quality time with our loved ones.
