The post-shift recap, poured straight into your inventory. Mise is bar inventory reimagined for the way service actually works. Instead of clipboards and spreadsheets, you just talk. Tap the mic, say what happened tonight — the sales, the 86s, the breakages, the restocks — and Mise parses it, matches it to your items, and updates your stock automatically. Prefer to type or paste your shift notes? That works too. Built for bars, restaurants, and pubs pouring wine, spirits, beer, and zero-proof. Easy updates, Speak or type what changed during the shift. Mise understands pours, sales, breakages, and restocks in plain language and applies them to the right items — no manual data entry. Every recap adjusts inventory in real time, so your counts stay honest without a full stocktake every night. Smart reorders, Mise flags what's below par, suggests order quantities, and learns your weekly pace — so you stop running out of the fast movers and stop over-buying the slow ones. And also, Scan supplier invoices straight into stock and POs. Run a fast guided count when you need a true baseline. Turn low-stock flags into clean purchase orders. Track cost per pour and per recipe so you know your margins by the glass. And see what's moving, what's low, and what to reorder at a glance. Spend less time counting and more time behind the bar.
