Bar stock spot-checks, reinvented

Know exactly what's missing behind the bar.

Pourmetrics SpotCheck turns a phone and a €20 Bluetooth scale into a full variance engine for bars, hotels, and small chains. Scan a bottle, place it on the scale, see what's missing — and what it cost you.

14 days, full features, no card required.

  • 5-minute venue setup
  • €20 scale, no contract
  • Any POS, via email CSV

The problem

Inventory shrinkage eats 3–5% of bar revenue.

Most venues only find out at monthly stocktake, long after the money's gone. By the time the numbers tell a story, the shift, the staffer, and the pattern are all ancient history. Spot-checks are the fix — but doing them manually is slow, inconsistent, and nobody does them often enough.

Three taps, ten seconds

How it works

1

Scan the bottle

Point the phone at the barcode. Known SKUs jump straight to the weigh step; unknown ones get added to the global catalog once.

2

Place it on the scale

A standard €20 Bluetooth kitchen scale is all you need. SpotCheck detects when the reading is stable and captures it automatically.

3

See what's missing

Compare actual stock against expected (opening + deliveries − POS sales). Red bars show shrinkage in shots and euros, per SKU.

Built for the venue, not the IT team

Everything you need to catch shrinkage early

Global product catalog

Scan a bottle at any venue — if it's been seen before, it's already in the catalog with weights and density. Your team never re-enters Smirnoff.

Bluetooth scale integration

Works with any BLE kitchen scale. Pairs automatically, captures on stability, handles multiple partial bottles of the same SKU cleanly.

Variance engine

Opening stock + transfers − POS sales = expected. We compute the delta against what you actually counted, sorted by worst shrinkage first.

POS import

Nightly sales imports via email attachment — no brittle API integration required. Works with any POS that can export a CSV.

Role-based access

Managers see variance numbers; bar staff don't by default (configurable). Multi-venue operators see every venue from one dashboard.

Invite-based onboarding

Invite staff by email — they sign in on mobile with the barcode-scan + scale flow. No dev tools, no manual setup per person.

Who it's for

Built for owner-operators.

SpotCheck is designed for the person who signs the invoices and watches the margins — independent pub owners, hotel F&B managers, and small chains with 2–10 venues.

If your stocktake is a monthly ritual of guesswork and a spreadsheet, this is the tool that turns it into a daily 10-minute check with numbers you can act on the same shift.

Pays for itself in one caught shift.

Subscription is software only. The Bluetooth kitchen scale is bought separately (about €20). We've tested with the Accuweight CK780 on Amazon, but SpotCheck works with any BLE kitchen scale.

Try it on your next shift.

Sign up, invite your staff, scan a few bottles. If you don't catch at least one shrinkage pattern in the first week, we'd be surprised.
