Chefy for bars
Cost every cocktail and pour, track variance, count stock from behind the bar and turn POS sales into margin you can act on - all in one platform built for bars as much as kitchens.
Pour cost is a guess until the stocktake hurts
Most bars cost a cocktail once, then never revisit it - while spirit, wine and mixer prices keep moving. Variance only shows up at the end-of-month count, shrinkage hides in the noise, and the spreadsheet behind the drink list is always out of date.
Without Chefy
- Pour cost set once and forgotten
- Variance and shrinkage found at month end
- Stock counted on paper behind the bar
- Sales in the POS, costs in a spreadsheet - never together
With Chefy
- Every drink costed live as prices move
- Variance surfaced early, not at month end
- Stocktakes from any device behind the bar
- POS sales synced straight to pour cost and margin
A day behind the bar
Cost every drink
Build each cocktail and batch as a spec, and Chefy costs the pour from live supplier prices - so you always know the margin on every drink on the list.
Run service on any device
Chefy Go puts the drink list, specs and prep at the bar's fingertips on any device - best on a landscape iPad.
Count stock behind the bar
Run a stocktake from where you stand, keep live stock on hand, and catch variance early instead of at month end.
See what actually made money
POS sales sync straight in, so you see contribution margin and your best and worst sellers - not just what poured.
One platform for the bar and the kitchen
In hospitality, front of house and back of house are usually run on different systems - or no system at all. Chefy runs both. The same costing, stock and sales engine powers your bar and your kitchen, so a venue with both gets one source of truth instead of two.

Chefy for bars FAQ
Is Chefy a bar inventory system?
Yes. Chefy costs every drink, tracks pour cost and variance, counts stock from any device and syncs your POS sales - everything you'd expect from bar inventory software, in one platform.
Does Chefy work for a venue with both a bar and a kitchen?
That's exactly what it's built for. The same engine runs both sides, so a venue with a bar and a kitchen gets one source of truth for cost, stock and sales instead of two separate systems.
Can I cost cocktails and batched drinks?
Yes. Build each drink as a spec with nested batches and sub-recipes, and Chefy costs the pour from live supplier prices - including batched cocktails and pre-mixes.
Will it connect to my POS?
Chefy syncs sales from your POS automatically and links them straight to pour cost and margin, so you can see your best and worst performers by what they actually make.
