Backbar is widely praised for saving time on inventory and ordering, strong reporting, POS integration, and a user-friendly interface, with a free tier that helps budget-conscious bars. Common downsides include bugs and instability after updates, especially around inventory input and decimals, setup hurdles with inventory locations, and server-dependent data storage. Some users also report onboarding issues with the free tier. Overall, it’s a powerful digitization tool that works well when it’s stable.

  • Reliance on a server with data not stored locally, risking access during outages.

Total game-changer for our bar. It’s packed with tools and has saved us a ton of time on ordering and inventory counts. I love the reports. They make it easy to see what’s selling, what’s sitting, and even catch pricing mistakes. Best part is it plugs right into our POS so I can track sales in one place and actually rely on the profit reports to understand how the bar’s really performing. On top of that, their support team is top-notch. Anytime I have a question, they usually get back to me within an hour or less.

App is great but having issues using and editing inventory locations. If I can get help troubleshooting this it would be such a great use.

This app has been incredible to use! The time saved in inventory and ordering each month has been huge! It took about a day to fully set up all my items and do my first full inventory, but from there I have hit the ground running. Very user friendly and lots of great new features since I have started using it!
