Inventory software for bars
Crumble is an inventory system for small food businesses. You set up recipe cards, track stock and sales, and cost per portion is calculated automatically. Let's look at the problems a bar runs into and how to solve them.
Problems and solutions
Problems every bar runs into
Almost all of them come down to one thing: money leaking out unnoticed. Here's what happens and what to do about it.
Overpouring and underpouring
Cocktails get poured without a jigger, and drinks are measured by eye.
Cost keeps shifting
Alcohol is the priciest item in stock, and an extra 5-10 ml per pour quickly turns into empty bottles.
One recipe card for everyone
Quantities are locked into the recipe, and every sale deducts ingredients accordingly. If actual usage is higher, it shows up at stocktaking.
Cocktail cost is unclear
A cocktail is built from five to seven ingredients at different prices, and no one calculates the cost.
Prices set by guesswork
Some cocktails sell at almost no margin, others drive most of the profit, and without a calculation you can't tell which.
Recipe cards and cost
Enter the milliliters of each ingredient in the recipe — Crumble will calculate cost from purchase prices.
Bar stocktaking takes all night
Open bottles, syrups, and juices are counted by hand and checked against records.
Shortages with no explanation
It's unclear where the error is: in the count, in the records, or behind the bar.
Stock counts itself
Stock updates after every sale. At stocktaking you just enter the actual count, and Crumble calculates the discrepancy for you.
Popular items run out on Friday night
Stock levels are known roughly, and orders to suppliers go out only once the shelf is already empty.
Lost sales
Items go on the stop list at the most profitable moment, and the supplier won't deliver until tomorrow.
Minimum stock levels
Set a minimum for key products — Crumble will notify you as soon as stock drops below it, while there's still time to order.
Cost and price
How to calculate cocktail cost
Cost per portion is the sum of everything that goes into one portion, per the recipe card. Price is calculated from cost and the margin you want on each sale.
Calculate it yourself
Cost = liquor + syrups + juices + ice + garnish
Cocktail price
460 ₽
cost 115 ₽ · 345 ₽ left from each sale
Price = cost ÷ (1 − margin)
