Understand what is selling behind your bar.
Better Bartender brings AI-native intelligence to bar sales analytics: a clearer view of drinks performance, menu contribution and the decisions behind a stronger business.
Start with the detail in your POS
A daily total tells you how much you sold. Item-level sales help explain which drinks sold, in what quantities and at what times. Better Bartender’s invitation-only pilot tests connecting a venue’s point-of-sale system and collecting its sales reports with permission.
Explore the commercial questions below, then check current early-access scope and our reporting methodology.
Questions worth asking of your bar sales
- Which drinks account for changes in sales this week?
- Did revenue change because of volume, price, discounts or the mix of drinks?
- Are two trading periods genuinely comparable?
- Which menu items deserve a closer look once recipe costs are included?
Sales alone cannot establish profit, wastage or customer demand. Recipe costs, stock counts, opening hours and availability provide essential context.
For owners, managers and hospitality groups
Make the weekly meeting count with a structured sales review. Compare locations fairly with like-for-like reporting. Connect stock counts to sales through variance analysis, and prepare better questions about demand forecasting.
Built with venues, for venues
Better Bartender was founded by Jack Hawkins and Jack Sotti. Our first venue pilot focuses on getting the reporting foundations right. Provider editions and permissions differ, so a listed POS provider is not a promise of universal compatibility.

Our free guides explain how to read bar sales reports, how to calculate cocktail pour cost and how to compare drinks menu performance. Worked figures are illustrative, with the assumptions shown.
