Bar operations management, from the first pour to the last close

Bar operations management with Hey Senior keeps your bar store counted shelf by shelf, every pour and breakage on record, and the excise register and FLR built from stock movements, so the night team closes the same way every night.

Bar stock

Every bottle accounted for.

  • Stock checks in shelf order, back bar, beer fridge, wine rack, verified by the cost controller.
  • Pours and part bottles counted to the millilitre: a 100 ml pour from a 750 ml bottle stays exact.
  • Breakage with a live photo, and opened packs with their shelf life.

Excise

The excise register writes itself.

  • The bar register and FLR come from the stock movements. Nobody types them.
  • POS sales imported each day and set against what left the bar.
  • Supply requests from the bar store to the main store, approved in one tap.

Shifts

The late shift, without the phone calls.

  • A roster for late-night shifts, panzer shifts included, and clock-in with a live selfie.
  • The bar opening and closing checklist, with photos and a handover note for the morning.
  • Prep for the bar: cordials and syrups made from the recipe, labelled with use-by times.

Questions

Questions owners ask

What is bar operations management?

It is the daily running of a bar: stock and pours, the excise register, the roster for late shifts, opening and closing, and cash and sales. In a bar, small leaks in stock add up fast, so counting and recording matter most.

How does Hey Senior track bar inventory?

The bar store is counted shelf by shelf against par. Every sale, pour, breakage and transfer is a stock movement, so the expected stock is always known and a gap shows at the next count.

Can it produce the excise register?

Yes. The bar register and FLR are built from the bar's stock movements, so they match the stock. Nobody types them.

Does it work for a bar inside a hotel or restaurant?

Yes. The bar and its store sit in the outlet like any department, with their own people, stock and approvals.
