## What is Partender?

As featured on Paramount Network's "Bar Rescue" Partender is a patented, subscription-based business tool with a proprietary design that empowers you to:
• Easily complete full bar inventory in 15 minutes
• With up to 99.2% accuracy
• Split up the work across as many users as you'd like on iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and even the web
• Generate editable "Smart Orders" based on what you actually went through
• Place, track, and receive those orders online
• Get alerted when prices change
• Get your Usage (for Variance)
• Get your Actual Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) for Bev Cost %
• See what’s trending in your venue (incl. Top Movers & Dead Stock)
• Integrate with ERPs

And besides saving time and labor, our customers:
1) Reduce Inventory Value On-Hand by 20-40%
2) Reduce Beverage Cost by 6-8%
3) Reduce Cost of Goods Fluctuation by 10%

...all in just 90 days of weekly use after setup.


WHAT REAL CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING:
"Inventory takes less than 15 minutes now. It used to take 2 hours with 3 people counting, for a total of 6 labor hours." 
- Grant S. at Boston Pizza
	
“It takes us just 15 minutes to do inventory, which we do at least twice a week. We stopped running out of things, and thanks to Partender, we managed to get beverage costs down to below 20% in a couple months."
- Mike W. at Marriott


HOW? WHY?
Because the same reason why you count the cash in the register at the end of every night (or every shift) is the exact same reason why you count the liquid cash sitting on your shelves. If you don't, it'll disappear!

And when your inventory is 10-50x more valuable than your cash register, it makes sense to count it as carefully as the till, but that's been impossible until Partender.

So throw out your paper-and-pen and homegrown spreadsheets. Do inventory in minutes - not hours. See what's selling the best/worst, what's dead stock (and needs to be phased out via happy hour promotions), and what's about to run out and get 86'd (so you never miss a sale). 

Stop manually typing your inventory into Excel or a glorified web-based spreadsheet. Let Partender streamline all of your inventory, ordering, and accounting operations in just 15 minutes a week.


WITH PARTENDER, YOU CAN:
• Monitor actual depletions
• See real-time customer insights for your actual guests on a per-product or per-category basis
• Instantly receive your Value On-Hand ("Balance Sheet") in wholesale and retail dollars after every inventory
• Optimize your par levels (based on online graphs) to buy more of what's selling the best and less of what's selling the worst
• Clearly understand why your cost of goods is going up (due to Price Change Alerts or due to shrinkage* via our Usage / Variance Report online)

*Shrinkage is the loss of inventory due to over-pouring, theft, breakage, spillage, inaccurate counting, not receiving product, etc. And there's an average 23% shrinkage in our industry, which causes 60-80% of bars and restaurants to fail within their first 3 years... or lose tons in revenue.


HOW DOES PARTENDER WORK?
1) Build a virtual "blueprint" of your venue after organizing your bar
2) Split up the work of inventory across Main Bar, Back Bar, Stock Room, etc. 
3) Instead of manually writing down your inventory using an arbitrary 10-point scale, cumbersome scales, or expensive hardware, simply tap where the liquor level is on the real image of the bottle and swipe to the next bottle on your shelf.
4) That's it! Our proprietary algorithms are up to 99.2% accurate so you know down to the drop & dollar-value how much each bottle is worth in Retail & Wholesale Dollars ($).


INVENTORY ANYTHING:
In addition to liquor, you can inventory beer, wine, smallwares, kegs, and food! Our database is huge. If there's something on your shelf that's not in our database: take a picture of it, and our proprietary algorithms will do the rest.


ANALYTICS IN THE CLOUD:
Just log into your web dashboard to see COGS, beautiful consumption graphs, and actionable usage reports.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t even work

*2026-08-07, version 1.8.210*

Worst app I’ve ever tried. What a waste of my time. Saw this on bar rescue, I’ve been running a (successful) bar for many years and thought I could possibly implement it with my staff. Absolute garbage setup, garbage everything. It doesn’t even load. I did IT for a few years, to release this and promote it without it functioning is despicable.

### 5/5 — Best service ever

*2026-01-12, version 1.8.210*

Partender Inventory has completely changed how I manage my bar. They helped me truly understand what beverage cost is and how to control it, which alone was a huge breakthrough for my operation. Since implementing Partender, I’ve achieved almost a 40% reduction in value on hand, while also setting a clear, consistent weekly inventory standard and actively checking for discrepancies.

The platform makes inventory fast, accurate, and easy to understand, but the real standout was the support. Huge credit to my coach, Rome—the best coach I could’ve asked for. He walked me through the app step by step, helped me understand how everything works, and made sure I mastered the system. I highly recommend Partender to any bar or restaurant serious about controlling costs and running a tighter operation.

### 5/5 — Simple & Effecient

*2025-11-20, version 1.8.210*

This system will change your inventory woes forever. I had the pleasure of first using Partender back in 2018, and have been loyal to the app since. I am currently getting Partender up and running for all locations at my new company.

### 5/5 — VP of Operations

*2025-11-18, version 1.8.210*

Used Partender for 8 years with multiple locations. As a margin oriented company with multiple bars and restaurants, we needed accurate cogs for all beverage categories, Partender helped with that. We used other sources previously by hiring 3rd party vendors to handle our beverage inventory, we quickly realized that Partender was a better option to handle internally. The app was easy to handle for staff and myself. Accounting found it easy to pull the ending results to use for our P&L.

### 5/5 — Accuracy that Pays Off!

*2025-09-08, version 1.8.210*

As the bar manager of Biminis, a small family-run business, I can confidently say that implementing Partender has been a game-changer for us. What once took hours to complete during inventory now takes just a fraction of the time, allowing us to be far more efficient. Even more impressive is the accuracy of the platform—within just the first couple of weeks of using Partender, we reduced our beverage loss immensly.

This tool has personally made my job much easier. Instead of spending countless hours on manual counts, I can now focus on other important tasks to help grow and strengthen the business. The transition process was seamless thanks to Erwin’s outstanding support and guidance. He walked us through every step and ensured we had the tools and knowledge needed for success.

For a mom-and-pop establishment like Biminis, every percentage point of loss matters. With Partender, not only are we saving money, but we’re also gaining time and peace of mind. I highly recommend it to any business looking to improve efficiency, accuracy, and overall profitability.

### 5/5 — Partender was a life saver of time and accuracy!

*2025-09-03, version 1.8.210*

I have been using this app for a few years now and have saved so much time in the process. Between setting up my orders, receipts and tracking my inventory it has been a breeze. I have never had such great help as I have had also with their support team. They are very prompt and super helpful, and always able to assist. I have recommended to many other local business’s because of how much I believe in this app. If you want a gamechanger, get set up with Partender!!

### 5/5 — Inventory Super Hero

*2025-09-01, version 1.8.210*

I cannot recommend Partender enough! Being in the restaurant industry for 15+ years and spending so much time writing bar inventory on paper and then plugging into excel sheets- Partender has changed the game. Not only does the app save our business and management ample time, it also collects more accurate data, helps identify any discrepancies or theft & can generate a bar order in seconds! Partender has a massive internal catalog of national and international products to easily add to your venue, but it is also extremely easy to add your own or local products as well. I love how all the data from a product is logged within the system, from distributor to wholesale cost to retail price. Their customer service also deserves a shout out: their availability to help outside of normal business hours has been a life saver (also, real humans!)

Honestly, if you work anywhere that sells beer, wine and/or liquor…do yourself a favor and get Partender. You won’t regret it.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2025-09-01, version 1.8.210*

Does not work on my iphone16e

### 5/5 — Incredible Asset to Beverage Program

*2025-08-14, version 1.8.210*

I have been in the bar and restaurant industry for over twenty years, gaining experience in various roles ranging from bartender to bar manager. Currently, I am the beverage director at a elevated sports bar/restaurant, where we pride ourselves on quality craft cocktails and a diverse wine selection. Before this position, I worked at a high-volume bar where the fast-paced environment taught me the importance of efficiency in inventory management.

Traditionally, our inventory process involved manually counting each bottle and jotting down numbers on paper, which was incredibly time-consuming and often led to inaccuracies. Since implementing Partender in 2019, our inventory process has transformed dramatically. I now use Partender’s intuitive app to track our inventory. With their innovative measuring tools, I can take accurate measurements in minutes instead of hours. What I love most about Partender is how user-friendly it is; even new staff members can quickly learn how to use it effectively, minimizing training time.

The support team at Partender has been fantastic. Whenever I’ve had questions or encountered technical issues, their support staff has been prompt and knowledgeable. It’s reassuring to know there’s help available when you need it.

Since adopting Partender, we've seen significant improvements in our operations. The time savings are immense — I estimate we’ve cut our inventory counting time by at least 75%. This efficiency has not only saved us labor costs but has also enabled us to make smarter ordering decisions, ultimately leading to a noticeable increase in sales and reduced waste. The accurate inventory tracking has helped us optimize our stock levels while minimizing shortages and overstock.

For operators thinking about integrating Partender, I highly recommend taking the plunge. It’s particularly beneficial for high-volume bars, restaurants, and venues where inventory management is crucial. Even smaller establishments can see great value in streamlining their processes to focus more on customer service instead of tedious counting.

In conclusion, Partender has revolutionized the way we manage our inventory. The ease of use, excellent support, and significant ROI make it a vital tool for anyone in the hospitality industry looking to optimize their operations.

### 5/5 — Makes inventory easy

*2025-08-06, version 1.8.210*

With over 15 years in the hospitality industry, I’ve worked in a wide range of establishments. In the past, inventory usually meant long nights, manual counting, endless spreadsheets, and a lot of guesswork. It was time-consuming, error-prone, and honestly, a dreaded task for the whole team.
Now, what used to take hours or even days can be done in under 30 minutes. I can walk through the bar, use the app to visually record each bottle, and instantly generate reports that show exactly what we have and what we need. Ordering has never been smarter or easier—I know exactly what to stock, and I’m no longer over-ordering or running out of top sellers.
From a financial perspective, the ROI is huge. We’ve cut down on labor costs associated with inventory, reduced shrinkage, and improved overall profitability thanks to tighter controls and better purchasing decisions. Everyone—from barbacks to managers—feels more empowered and accountable. The platform is incredibly user-friendly, and the built-in training means our staff gets up to speed fast, with zero friction. It’s created a more professional and positive work environment.The sooner you start, the sooner you’ll see the benefits. Whether you run a high-volume bar, a music venue, a restaurant, or even a hotel bar—if you’re serving alcohol, you’ll benefit from this tool.
