With the help of new innovative solutions bar owners are able to keep a tight watch on what is going on in there business.

Here are some of the highlights:

"One year ago, Michaud installed a liquor inventory system called Scanabar that tags each bottle upon arrival. Managers each night then use a special scanner that measures fluid levels on each bottle to a fraction of an ounce."

"The scanner then wirelessly connects to an accounting system that checks the amount of liquor sold from that bottle, flags any bottles that are inexplicably low and assigns each bartender a daily accuracy score."

"Sometimes, the system merely shows bartenders mix differently by habit."

"When we first got the system, we had 20 bartender scores all over, so we tested them and found they all made a margarita differently," Michaud said. "They didn't mean to. But sometimes you hire someone from TGIFridays who always made a drink a certain way."
