Wine inventory software for real cellars
A wine list is your highest-value inventory and your hardest to count. Bottles move between cellar, coolers and the floor, values run from a house pour to four figures, and a missing case is worth more than a month of missing spirits. Scannabar tracks every bottle by cellar, cooler, rack, bin and position, and by value, so the list you sell from matches the list you own.
Count the cellar without closing it
Scan and move on. Counts that took a full evening with two people and a clipboard come down to a walk-through, which means you can count monthly instead of annually, and spot a hole while the vintage is still replaceable.
The same pace applies here as everywhere else on the system: roughly 120 bottles in 15 minutes, one person.
Know where each bottle is, down to the bin
Cellar, cooler, back bar, function room, second outlet, rack, bin, and individual bottle position. Scannabar supports all of it, which is what turns an inventory number into something a sommelier or a food and beverage manager can actually use during service.
Bin and bottle position, not just a case count. This is a real difference from app-based tools built around photographing a back bar. If a guest orders the last bottle of something, the question is not only whether you have it but which rack it is in and who walks to get it.
Protect the value, not just the count
High-value wine is where shrinkage costs the most per incident. The same measured approach that takes liquor shrinkage from 20-30% to 1-3% applies to your bottle list, and the reporting shows movement by value, not only by unit.
One case of a listed Burgundy can outweigh a month of missing well spirits. Counting by value is what makes that visible before your year-end does it for you.
What the reports show
Usage by bottle and by vintage, variance by location, value on hand, and reorder positions for your core list.
Where your sales data comes from
Scannabar reconciles the cellar against what you rang in. Sales data comes across by CSV, by XML, or through a direct API connection built to your POS vendor's published specification. We will tell you on the call exactly what your setup involves.
