The Bar Inventory Tracker
Database cloud computing with enterprise-grade security
The on-line database is built on Microsoft SQL Server and runs on AWS, the world's most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud infrastructure trusted by the most demanding global brands. Cloud computing enables access from any device: smartphone, tablet, laptop, or desktop, at any time and from anywhere.
The Cashout Calculator
The Cashout Calculator is a flexible new tool designed to streamline operations by turning the cashout procedure into a quick and easy fill-in-the-blanks exercise with no need to calculate anything. The user-definable menus allow you to easily setup the app to reflect your operation's policies and procedures.
The Cashout Calculator app includes two calculators, a server/bartender calculator and a VLT/gaming calculator.The server/bartender calculator enables serving staff to complete cashouts in a fraction of the time it would normally take. Cashout procedures vary from one operation to the next. Some are simple and straightforward, while others are a little more challenging. Any cashout procedure can become complicated however, as a result of circumstances that fall outside of the square. Whether a procedure is simple or complicated, the user-friendly, fill-in-the-blanks design of the Cashout Calculator makes cashing out a breeze.
- Dramatically reduces errors while eliminating legibility issues.
- Easily handles off-line transactions, walkout collections, or adjustments required when there's a mid-shift POS crash for example.
- Can be set up to accommodate virtually any tipout policy.
- Staff can cashout using their phones without having to calculate anything in less than 5 minutes eliminating "end-of-shift stress".
- Free up time that managers may be spending assisting staff with cashouts.
- Makes auditing much easier for bookkeepers with accurate, comprehensive reports and all data can be downloaded to Excel with a single click.
- Automatically keeps a running Over/Short balance for each server.
- Staff don't have to continually ask if there are any due backs; they can simply check on their phones.
- Servers can access their personal records at any time and they can download their own data to Excel.
- Pays for itself... and then some. If you can trim 15 minutes off every shift, the savings in labor costs can really add up!
- The first Cashout section (Part 1) is displayed when a server logs in.
- When they click Submit the next section (Part 2) is displayed where there is a list of options to choose from.
- Servers only need to select the options relevant to that shift.
- If for example, there are no adjustments to be made to total sales, the Adjust sections can be ignored, and if there were no walkouts collected, those sections can also be ignored. This design avoids the clutter of unnecessary data entry options and narrows focus to only the basic data needed so as to keep things as simple as possible.
- They can enter their Staff meal in the Deductions section so that the amount is excluded from Tip Out calculations as well as any other qualifying amounts such as Promo tabs or anything allowable according to company policy.
- The options available in each section (drop-down menus) are set up by management to reflect company policy. A hotel may have options such as Front Desk or Room Charge for example. (see below: Cashout - Options and Default Settings)
- Once the various payments such as credit card payments and other allowable charges have been entered, all a server needs to do is select Edit Cashout from the Navigation menu.
- The Edit report provides the opportunity for the server to review all entries. If they have forgotten to enter something or there is a typo, it can easily be corrected here by clicking Grid Edit.
- Although this step is not required, it's a good idea for a server to spend a few seconds reviewing their entries.

The second calculator facilitates VLT or gaming cashouts and is set up to allow for 2 separate floats; a main float such as might be kept in a dispensing safe and a separate cash float.
- The tax rate for all calculations, the Tip Out Categories and percentage rates, and all of the menus are set up by management. (Admin login credentials are required for access.) Although this only needs to be done once, any of the settings can be changed at any time. Rates can be changed, categories can be deleted, and new categories can be added.
- That's it. Most cashouts can be completed in 5 minutes or less! The entire process is a simple fill-in-the-blanks exercise with no need to calculate anything.
