Built for Pubs & Bars
Your bar is pouring money away — literally. Between untracked overpours, supplier price creep, and stock counts done on the backs of beer mats, the average pub loses €18,000 a year to beverage shrinkage alone. Inntally gives you pour tracking, real-time stock valuation, supplier procurement, and the analytics to protect every margin.
Meet The Top House
A busy gastropub in South Dublin with 8 draught taps, 120+ spirits, a food menu, and a loyal crowd. Three staff behind the bar on weekends, live music on Fridays. The business was doing well — but nobody could explain where 4.6% of beverage revenue was disappearing to.
€18,000 a Year Vanishing From the Bar.
Management Dáire knew the GP should be 68% but it consistently landed at 63-64%. Weekly stock counts took two hours and were done by feel — counting bottles by sight, guessing keg levels. Nobody tracked pours. There was no way to know if the problem was overpours, spillage, theft, or just bad stock-taking. "It’s just what happens in a bar," Daire was told.
Every Pour Tracked. Every Discrepancy Flagged.
Inntally’s Analytics compares POS sales against stock depletion for every product. Within two weeks, the data showed that stout and premium whiskey were consistently under-ringing. Wednesday night had anomalous spirits usage. Dáire adjusted training, introduced measured pours for premium spirits, and tightened closing procedures — shrinkage dropped from 4.6% to 0.8%.
Stock Counts on the Back of a Beer Mat.
The senior barman did stock counts after Friday lockup. He’d walk the bar with a clipboard, estimate bottle levels by eye, and guess keg weights by feel. The numbers went into a notebook, then into a spreadsheet on Monday. By then, weekend trading had made the count meaningless. Nobody compared the count to POS data — it was just for re-ordering.
Camera Scan. Done in 30 Minutes. Accurate to 2%.
Inntally’s Stock Count app uses the phone camera to scan bottles and estimate fill levels. Kegs are weighed with a cheap Bluetooth scale that syncs automatically. The count is compared to POS sales data in real time — variances are flagged instantly, not discovered three days later.
Ordering by Habit. Paying by Faith.
Dáire ordered from his brewery rep and wine supplier because “we’ve always used them.” He never compared prices. The wine supplier had been charging 18% above market for three popular labels. For events (live music, rugby screenings), he’d guess how much extra stock to order — sometimes running out, sometimes left with cases of unsold cider.
Smart Ordering. Event-Aware Inventory.
Marketplace found three better wine suppliers — Dáire saved €6,200/year by switching two labels. Events module now tracks upcoming fixtures and gigs; the system auto-suggests extra stock levels based on historical event data. No more stock-outs on match day. No more cases of stale cider collecting dust.
The Top House First-Year Results
A single-venue gastropub recovered over €32,000 in its first year on Inntally — mostly from money that was already leaking out the door.
I’d accepted that 4-5% shrinkage was just part of running a bar. Within six weeks of using Inntally, I could see exactly where it was going — overpours on the stout, a few spirits not ringing through on Wednesdays. We’re now at under 1% and the bar GP has jumped 4 points. Wish I’d had this five years ago.
