Bar systems for Amsterdam HORECA

Every bar
has a recipe.
Few have a system.

We install the operational backbone your bar is missing — so you know exactly what you have, what it costs, and where you're losing it. Most bars never have this.

The reality
Losses are part
of running a bar.
Not knowing
where they are —

that's the problem.

Do you know what your best-selling cocktail actually costs to make? Do you know how much you made last week — after product? Most bar owners don't. Not because they're not good at what they do. Because no one ever built them the infrastructure to find out.

That's what we install.

How it works

Not a tool you set up
and figure out alone.

We come to your bar. We build it with you. We stay.

01
We come to your bar

First visit is a full diagnosis. We count everything, map your product catalog, and identify exactly where you're losing money. You get a real report — not a pitch deck.

02
We build the system

Inventory, recipe costing, MEP & prep, supplier orders, waste tracking — all connected. We configure everything for your specific operation. No templates, no guesswork.

03
We train your team

The system only works if your team runs it. We train everyone — from the bar manager to the part-time staff — until it becomes second nature. No extra workload, just better habits.

04
We stay with you

Monthly reports, weekly file reviews, WhatsApp support. We stay as long as you want us. Most bars see meaningful improvement by month two. The data gets cleaner every month.

The platform

One system.
Everything connected.

One file per venue. All modules share the same data — change a recipe and your order sheet updates automatically.

01
Inventory
Know what you have.
02
Recipe Costing
Price with precision.
03
MEP & Prep
Prep that makes sense.
04
Orders
Stop over-ordering.
05
Waste
Name the loss.
06
Alerts
Know before you run out.
07
Suppliers
Your suppliers, organised.
Your monthly count, standardised. Weight-based, consistent, and clean enough for your accountant. No more spreadsheet archaeology at midnight.

Zero waste

Waste is an
operations problem.
We solve it by knowing
exactly what you have.

Not a sustainability campaign. A system that tracks every product, every loss, every order — so waste stops being invisible and starts being a decision. When you run a bar that tight, certifications follow as a natural consequence.

How we do it →
